Overall Rating

Excellent

Excellent visit to see the lights and hear the sounds of the botanical gardens Christmas illuminated trail, with other Euan's Guide ambassadors and staff. It was longer and better than I expected, and improved by hot mulled wine and toasted marshmallows and great company! The highlight for me was the pictures that appeared on the path when you trod / wheeled over them.

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Excellent wide smooth paths. They even let me plug in my scooter to top up my charge in the entrance reception.

Parking & Transport

Good

I'm not sure about parking or buses as I arrived by scooter and left by taxi.

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

Great. I've never encountered the bi-fold door they had but it was light weight and easy. Suitable rails and red cord.

Staff

Excellent

Keen to help.
