We made a family trip in the summer to the maritime museum in Irvine and puffer’s cafe next door. The maritime museum has a car park with disabled parking spaces and is within walking distance of puffer’s Cafe beside the harbour.
Disabled Access In and Around
Average
The maritime museum is housed within a former boat shed. The museum has an automatic door and plenty of space between museum peices. The museum also has a small accessible toilet. The museum does have a manual wheelchair for anyone who needs to borrow one.
Parking & Transport
Average
I think the easiest way to get to the maritime museum is possibly by car due to its harbourside location. I think it may also be accessible by bus
Accessible Toilets
Average
The accessibile toilet has hand rails however is quite small for a wheelchair user and personal assistant. I placed a red cord card on the red cord as it was tied up
