Overview
Access is well provided for. Looking forward to seeing the final visitor centre building in place. We did not visit Helix Park (basically where the Kelpies are situated) but plan to do so in the future as this looks like it would be excellent in good weather
Transport & Parking
Car park is all well paved and wheelchair use no problem. This car pack gets particularly busy on the weekend. A separate area (even closer to the visitor centre) was being used as "overflow" disable parking when we visited.
Access
We took the guided tour which includes a visit inside one of the Kelpies! Access very easy and the doors in to the Kelpies are very massive/wide with a nice, smooth decked interior. Obviously you do need to take a bit of care if you venture near to the canal sides.
Toilets
The visitor centre is working out of a temporary building just now. A purpose built building is due next year (I think) There is a single (huge) accessible toilet at the visitor centre. There is a good ramp up to the entrance of the building but there is a very low ledge you need to negotiate to get in. The loo also accommodates a very big baby changing area and an accessible shower!
Staff
Staff very polite, friendly and helpful.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
A great visit all round.
