Accessibility 

Most areas of the site are accessible by wheelchair and pushchair via pathways. Shopmobility motorised scooters (£5), wheelchairs (£3) and quad-walkers (£3) are available to hire at the Visitor Centre entrance. These facilities can be booked in advance by contacting our Visitors Centre on +44 (0)1534 860000 or sending an e-mail to visit@durrell.org   

Please remember that Durrell’s headquarters are designed to be an open parkland area which means that you must be relatively fit and able to walk around. If you are infirm or disabled and would like to organise a tour in one of our driven Dodo Mobiles (golf carts) this must be arranged in advance of your visit, giving at least 4 working days notice. To organise your tour, please call +44 (0)1534 860000 or send an e-mail to guides@durrell.org. Again, tours are donated by our volunteers and a donation at your discretion is recommended. Please give 24 hours notice of any cancellations or amendments.

Important note: we are sorry that we cannot allow any dogs, including guide dogs, onto site premises. This is because bringing domestic animals into contact with the endangered species we have within the collection would be too great a risk. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause. We can however arrange for our guides to escort any visitors who are visually impaired around the site. Thank you for your understanding. To arrange a guided tour please arrange in advance giving 4 working days notice by calling +44 (0)1534 860000 or send an e-mail to guides@durrell.org  

* Scooters, Wheelchairs and Quad-Walkers are used at own risk.
