Accessible Attractions
Firefly Grove Park
Meet Mama Rosa, Wisconsin’s first Thomas Dambo troll, at a park where art and imagination invite you to linger. A paved, wheelchair-accessible pathway loops around the park’s features, and several play elements are positioned at wheelchair transfer height. Accessible street parking is available near the north entrance.
Milwaukee County Zoo
Add a little wildlife to your visit at the nearby Milwaukee County Zoo. Wheelchair-accessible building entrances, wheelchair and mobility scooter rentals, and accessible restrooms support your day of discovery. Visitors with sensory sensitivities can find quiet areas and sensory bags, along with staff trained by KultureCity. An adult-size changing station is also available.
Coming Soon: Moss Universal Park
More opportunities to play together are on the way. Planned for 18 acres in Wauwatosa, Moss Universal Park will bring adaptive play equipment, a sensory-safe playground and a universal ballpark to a space designed for people of all ages and abilities. Its first phase is expected to open in spring or summer 2027.
