Access for people with mobility problems

The Falkirk Wheel site is fully accessible for visitors with mobility problems and is wheelchair friendly. If you have a blue badge you are able to park directly outside the Visitor Centre.

Facilities on-site can be used with ease, and a wheelchair or mobility scooter can also be taken onboard the boat trip (please mention this when booking so we can reduce capacity slightly on-board to allow for a chair).

We also offer the use of wheelchairs on-site if visitors wish to borrow one free of charge, please just ask at the Reception desk and we will arrange this for you.

Disabled patrons pay full price which is £8.95 however if accompanied by a carer then the carer goes free. We have concession rates for our young at heart visitors so over 60's pay £7.95.

Dogs

Dogs are allowed on-site but should be kept on leads, and we have water bowls for dogs at various points around the site. Only service dogs are allowed on the boat trips and in the visitor centre.

The Falkirk Wheel is open every day, from 10am until 5.30pm.
