The Silver Beach Carousel is committed to accessibility, featuring a wheelchair-accessible chariot and a ramp for boarding, so everyone can take a spin! For guests with visible or invisible disabilities, we offer KultureCity sensory bags containing noise-cancelling headphones, fidget tools, sunglasses and a "feeling thermometer". One weighted lap pad is also available to lend a grounding sensation to the carousel ride. Please see the Operator to request these items.
