First UK Theme Park To Open Disabled Facility!

Chessington World of Adventures Resort has partnered with The Changing Places Consortium to become the first theme park in England and within Merlin Entertainments Ltd to install a hi-tech new changing facility for customers with disabilities.

For people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, as well as other serious impairments such as spinal injuries, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis or an acquired brain injury, it can often be difficult to use toilets comfortably. However, now disabled guests who visit the Resort will have access to toilets with extra features, such as a height adjustable adult-sized changing bench and a non-slip floor, disabled toilet, disabled shower, electrical hoist, and more space to meet the needs of disabled guests with room for a wheelchair and up to two carers.
