Overall Rating
Excellent
The newly developing city centre Liverpool One has great access, Liverpool docks museums and Lady Lever Gallery in Port Sunlight, all so inspiring.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
All the museums had excellent facilities for people with a wide range of impairments
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Lots of paid parking of good quality. Disabled bays few and far between but city is not designed around cars. Shopmobility free scooter and wheelchair use available.
Accessible Toilets
Good
All that was needed was there. Just lost a point for misplaced cords and loo doors in Maritime Museum badly designed in that when the door was open it blocked access to ambulance loos.
Staff
Excellent
Just ask and they will give assistance. The expected friendliness of scousers and those from other countries who have "embraced the scouse".
Additional Information
The whole of Liverpool one is built for people to enjoy the spaces, including disabled people. Museums very well designed and you can even get a scooter on the "Ferry Cross the Mersey".
