Nature, culture and wide-open spaces are calling, but before you pack your bags, let’s get the practical stuff sorted.
Whatever your pace or needs, 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.
Explore Albury Botanic Gardens
There’s a reason locals love the Albury Botanic Gardens. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of calm. Light filters through the leaves in soft patches, warming your skin as birds chatter overhead. For little ones (and the young at heart), there’s a giant dinosaur to walk beneath, a hidden fairy garden and nature play features designed to light up curious minds.
Not only a haven for nature lovers, the gardens also host seasonal events like 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 the chance of becoming overwhelmed.
The gardens are pram and wheelchair-friendly, with wide paths, accessible toilets, seating and parking throughout. Mobility walkers and powered wheelchairs are welcome, and most lawn areas are also accessible – just take care after rain. For groups with specific access needs, contact AlburyCity for tailored support.
Unwind in the Albury Riverside Precinct
Set along the Murray River in Albury’s Riverside Precinct, Hovell Tree Park is a peaceful place to pause, picnic or ponder. You’ll find an elevated river boardwalk for all abilities, plenty of viewing points for river watching or bird sighting, BBQ and picnic facilities, shade structures and a Changing Places facility with an adult change table and hoist. Whether you’re strolling, rolling or simply out and about to soak up the scenery, it’s an easy, beautiful place to spend an hour – or maybe an entire afternoon.
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, quiet reading or squeezing in a little work. 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 and 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 thrill of soaring through the air. Additionally, there’s an all-abilities carousel that can accommodate two wheelchairs – perfect for those who enjoy a gentle ride.
Belvoir Lake offers a 1.56km 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.
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.
