the practical stuff sorted. 

Whether you roll, stroll or have wee wanderers in tow, there is plenty of inclusive fun around here. This guide offers some of the best accessibility experiences in the area, as well as places to stay and play.

For a day out filled with leafy canopies, local culture and fresh air, there are plenty of places to explore for all abilities. 

Explore Albury Botanic Gardens

There’s a reason locals love the Albury Botanic Gardens. From the moment you arrive, everything feels calm. Easy. Light filters through the leaves in dappled patches, warming your skin while birds chatter overhead. For the kids and kids-at-heart, find a giant dinosaur and pass under the archway of his underbelly; a secret fairy garden is waiting to be discovered. 

Not only a haven for nature lovers, the gardens also host seasonal events like the Aurora Albury, an immersive sound and light show. In the colder months, the gardens transform into a nighttime sensory wonderland, combining storytelling, holographic light projections and nature in a breathtaking display. For those with sensitivities or small kids, book the low-sensory sessions, where the volume is turned down to minimise overwhelm. 

The gardens are easy to navigate for prams, manual or motorised wheelchairs, and include accessible parking, restrooms and seating throughout. 

Take in the Views at Hume Dam Wall

From the accessible car park, a smooth, gentle path leads you to the top of the Hume Dam Wall, where you’ll see spectacular views of Lake Hume and the surrounding countryside sweeping out in all directions. Completed in 1936, the dam remains a remarkable example of Australian engineering – still doing its job nearly a century on.

It’s a great spot to take in the landscape, whether you’re on foot, using mobility aids or guiding kids along on bikes. Shaded BBQ areas, accessible picnic tables and nearby toilets make it easy to pause for lunch, snap a few happy snaps or perhaps just to sit and take in the staggering scale of Lake Hume, which holds nearly six times the volume of Sydney Harbour and plays a vital role in supplying water to three states.

Visit Hyphen – Wodonga Library Gallery

Step into a world made for the curious and the creative. At Hyphen – Wodonga Library Gallery, you’ll find three contemporary galleries and a large open-plan library space for browsing paperbacks, quiet reading or squeezing in a little work from “home”. Upstairs or via the lift, you’ll find the light-filled Playspace Gallery for little ones to make tiny masterpieces through interactive exhibitions. 

Hyphen welcomes all abilities, offering accessible parking, diverse seating styles, assistive technology, hearing loops and braille maps. Guide and service dogs are welcome too!

Belvoir Park Playground & Lake Stroll

Belvoir Park in Wodonga is a standout for accessible outdoor fun. The park features a Liberty Swing, allowing wheelchair users to experience the sheer joy of a good whoosh through the air. Additionally, there’s an all-abilities carousel that can accommodate two wheelchairs for those who love spinning. 

Belvoir Lake offers a mostly-flat 1.56 km sealed path that circles the water, suitable for wheeling or walking. Along the way, you’ll find accessible BBQs, picnic shelters, drinking fountains and toilets. With frequent seating along the way, you’ll have plenty of great options for snack breaks.

Experience Worlds Beyond

If it’s raining or you prefer an indoor adventure, Worlds Beyond in Lavington offers immersive experiences suitable for a range of abilities. Their PixaPlay sessions use digital projections to display games, from arcade-style action to simple puzzle-solving, with motion-tracking technology that responds to body movements.

Because it’s visual, PixaPlay is a sighted experience. But the venue is fully wheelchair-accessible, with step-free entrances, accessible toilets and seating available in game rooms. Staff are trained to adjust experiences to accommodate sensory sensitivities, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable visit for different abilities. Bookings are strongly encouraged.
