Could you tell me if this is wheelchair accessible?

Seb Valera | Nov 6, 2021
Jim Hutslar | Nov 6, 2021

The walkways, restaurant and gift shop are, which would allow you to see the statues up close and ring the gong 3 times (a must do). There is a lot of grassy area in the middle that may be a challenge but not neccesary to cross. Go for it, well woth the trip!
