Accessibility

The Mackenzie King Estate parking lot is paved and has two parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities.

The path leading from the parking lot to the buildings and Abbey Ruins is partially accessible to wheelchair users. Because the path has some steep slopes and is not paved, wheelchair users may need some assistance to hike this trail.

Most of the buildings at the Estate, including washrooms, and the paths between buildings are universally accessible. The ground floors of some of the museums are wheelchair accessible.

Manual wheelchairs are available upon request. If you need one, please ask one of the guide-interpreters on the site.
