Deaf and hard-of-hearing visitors
The following proposals include both specifically adapted activities, with sign language interpretation or other accessibility resources, and other activities that can be enjoyed without a specific adaptation.
At the ticket desks at the park entrance, there is a clearly signposted counter equipped with an induction loop for people using hearing aids or cochlear implants. By switching their device to the “T” position, they will be able to hear the visitor services staff more clearly.
