Handicapped Accessibility
“Alas, as an outside event, the main maze it is not handicapped accessible due to the changes in elevation of our property, and the rugged plowed ground. We have had a couple of rugged fellows with what I would call mountain bike tires on their wheelchairs go through, but it is very difficult for regular strollers, wheelchairs, and motorized chairs. The ground is rough, and unfortunately there is not a flat place on Eliada’s entire 320 acres. Most of the other attractions are somewhat accessible, and the main building is handicapped accessible, complete with accessible restrooms.”
