Trip Planning Tips for Visitors with Wheelchairs

Kingsley Plantation grounds, barn, kitchen house, and visitor contact station including restrooms are all easily accessed. The tabby cabins are in a grassy area and while most of the buildings are easily toured some have footer beams in the doorways that can pose a challenge. The planter's home (which is only open under certain circumstances) has four stairs to reach the entrance.

Fort Caroline National Memorial and the Timucuan Preserve visitor center is wheelchair friendly, as is the Ribault Column. There are two trails leading to the fort exhibit. Behind the visitor center is the longer trail with a steeper grade. The trail from the parking lot is shorter.
