Known for its warm weather, friendly locals, eateries, parks, playgrounds, and wonderful greens paces, it’s a place that makes you happy to be outside. If you’re looking for accessible things do in Brisbane, we’ve got you covered.
Botanical Gardens
This is a garden with a difference, and it’s easy to spend a whole day here without getting bored. The botanical gardens include wide pathways to make navigation easy on mobility scooters and spend your time enjoying nature at it’s best. The all-abilities playground means you can go with the whole family, and because the garden is free to enter you can save your money to visit one of the nearby restaurants when you’re done. Located on Brisbane’s riverside, it’s the perfect way to spend your day.
Whale Watching
From July to November, you can enjoy Brisbane whale watching, even if you’re in a mobility scooter or wheelchair. From their website: “On board you’ll experience sightings of the magnificent humpback whale and many other marine animals – e.g. Dolphins. All on the calm clear pristine waters of the bay. We have wheelchair access and are Eco Accredited. We have found that whales use the area to rest, bond and feed their young. Often, we’ll see new born whales or even live births from the deck, up close and personal.”
Loan Pine Koala Sanctuary
Loan Pine Koala Sanctuary is home to around over 100 koalas and over 70 native species and is the first and largest koala sanctuary in the world. Due to the hilly terrain, alternate routes are available for guests with limited mobility, and wheelchair hire is available for those in need. Personal mobility devices such as prams, strollers, wheelchairs and electric mobility scooters are permitted for use at Lone Pine. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is a great day out in Brisbane that you’ll never forget.
