Even making my 4th visit to Pairi Daiza – there’s still new things and old favourites to see every time! This was my 4th visit and my mum’s 3rd visit, so we’ve seen most of the park already. I mentioned in my last post that we needed an accessible room for my mum, she wears a prosthetic leg so just needs a little less fast-pace and definitely fewer hills. We opted not to take a wheelchair hire, but even if we had, I don’t think I would have been pushing the wheelchair up the few hills there are at Pairi Daiza, I’ve done the hill at Edinburgh Zoo and that was a stressful experience (worried I might let go accidentally on the way down XD)! But because we’ve both been before on multiple occasions we didn’t really feel like we were missing something, and perhaps next time we’ll try out the wheelchair and see how that goes. We very much stuck to the more accessible parts of the park – my mum is generally fine with a small number of stairs, so we weren’t restricted in areas where there were only stairs, but steeper hills like the majority of Kingdom of Ganesha and the back part of Land of Origins weren’t on the cards for this trip. The map online does have indicated where paths are not wheelchair/pushchair accessible, however doesn’t have hill-steepness marked on which would be another useful option. But onto what we did see:
