​

Is the Sculpture Forest accessible?

We are working to improve the accessibility of the Haliburton Sculpture Forest. Some notes on the current accessibility of the space:

  • The Sculpture Forest Trails are wide and easy to walk on. The surface is fine compacted gravel or earth. The trails are not paved. 

  • Service animals are welcome 

  • Sculptures can be experienced visually and through touch

  • For visitors using mobility aids (wheelchairs, walkers, canes, etc.) please note that some pieces have steps leading up to them. There is also a steep hill between "Sound Vessel: Forest" (Number 5 on our map) and "Beaver" (No. 6), which can be avoided using the lower trail.

  • Entrance is free 

  • We are in the process of adding audio descriptions and tours are available through our PocketSights tour using the "Text to Speech" function

For questions and concerns regarding the accessibility of the Sculpture Forest please contact us.
