    Accessible Mackintosh!

    Was generally very impressed with the disabled access at The Lighthouse, although watch out for the lift at peak visitor times - it is very slow and busy as people attempt to access the viewing platform.

    Not what I expected, great visit!

    Visiting the Lighthouse for the first time I wasn't too sure what to expect. Getting in and getting around as a Powerchair user was easy and I'll certainly visit again.

    Illuminating experience!!

    I am having trouble describing this venue but a must visit if you're interested in architecture and design. It's a museum, gallery, library and information point to name but a few! Level access throughout and spacious. The one small drawback is a relatively small lift where if you have more than one wheelchair you must go one at a time. There is one viewing area that can be accessed by lift and get a view across the city, the other is up a set of stairs.
