Visitor Center Update: Achievement in Accessibility!

Posted on

We are thrilled to announce that the Visitor Center has been officially featured as a verified, accessible location on Wheel the World’s website! Wheel the World is a leader in accessible travel, and provides many valuable resources for individuals with disabilities and those seeking inclusive travel experiences. Their platform allows users to book hotels, activities, and tours, tailored to their specific accessibility needs. This exciting partnership marks a significant achievement for our team and highlights our commitment to creating an inclusive environment for all visitors.

Our recognition by Wheel the World represents our ongoing commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. The assessment process involved detailed measurements of our facilities, ensuring that we meet the needs of our visitors. By collaborating with organizations like ours, Wheel the World is paving the way for a more inclusive travel landscape, and we are ensuring that everyone can enjoy the beauty of the Garden of the Gods Park, and the variety of programs and experiences we offer at the Visitor Center.  

This achievement also aligns with our belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to connect with nature and learn about the environment in a welcoming space. Parks and open spaces give us the opportunity to relax, explore, and connect with nature and our community. By ensuring that these environments are accessible, we are not only fostering a sense of belonging but also encouraging a deeper appreciation for the natural world among all members of our community.

As we move forward, we will continue to seek ways to improve accessibility in all aspects of our operations. We are excited about the future and the positive impact this partnership will have on our community. By working closely with Wheel the World, we aim to create memorable and accessible experiences for all our visitors. To learn more about Wheel the World and explore our listing, or visit Wheel the World’s website and navigate to the Colorado Springs landing page.
