Does the Boston Aquarium provide wheelchairs?

Wednesday Feb 11, 2009

I'm going to take my younger sister to the Boston Aquarium, but I need to know if they provide wheelchairs for mentally challenged individuals. The wheel on her wheelchair broke off.

No, apparently not. Although the New England Aquarium in Boston talks a lot about their wheelchair accessibility, they do not say anything about having wheelchairs available.

I think you need to assume that you should wait to bring your sister until her chair is repaired.

I know this is not the answer you wanted to hear, but I hope it helps!!
