San Diego

LEGOLAND®, California - Manual and electric wheelchairs are available to rent, although certain restrictions apply. Electric carts sell out early on weekends so arrive early to secure one. LEGOLAND® California's grounds and attractions are wheelchair friendly, with wide accessibility paths that are clearly marked. However the park is not flat so there are hills and ramps to navigate. The Sky Cruiser ride appears to require pedaling, but in fact it will operate on its own. General Park Information: 760-918-5346

Sea World, San Diego - Accessibility information, programs, events, phone numbers.
