Accessibility for people with special needs
For
many years, our institutions have made a number of efforts to make
tours as enjoyable as possible for persons with reduced mobility. In
collaboration with Kéroul, a non-profit organization that promotes accessible
tourism and culture, we have implemented an accessibility policy
and worked hard to adapt the infrastructures and services to meet the needs
and expectations of persons with disabilities; as adequately as possible.
The audioguides, guided tours, allowing guide dogs in the museums and
providing wheelchairs are among the services we offer.
In 1999, a special garden was designed for people with visual impairments at
the Botanical Garden. The Courtyard of the Senses (site in French) offers a different
kind of garden tour for the visually impaired and anyone who would like to
discover plants in a new way. The tour engages the senses of taste, touch, smell
and hearing. Visitors are guided by a series of signs in Braille, French and
English.
Group tours
Groups of 10 or more persons with handicaps are eligible for the group rate.
A guide is provided, free of charge, to each person with a handicap (physical or
mental).
