Q:
Hi, I'd really love to bring my Grandpa here but I have some questions about walking requirements and wheelchair access. He walks short distances with a cane but longer distances will require him to be in a wheelchair. If there's nothing he hates more than the wheelchair it's trying to use it in a place where the "exhibit" or whatever everyone else is looking at isn't fully visible from his POV. Obviously, the planes should be big enough in this context just hoping for some insight ahead of our arrival. Thank YOU!
A:
He should be fine walking around or even being wheel chaired. I believe there an elevator to the second floor for overlooking the display. He’ll be fine and will Enjoy the exhibit.
