The Living Coast Discovery Center is an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant zoo & aquarium.
We want to do our best to accommodate all people with disabilities. To allow accessibility for all, we offer a 20% discount on admission for people with disabilities and one (1) complimentary attendant ticket per paid person with disabilities (children two (2) and under are not part of this program).
Our shuttle is ADA-accessible, and we have accessible parking available. Please call (619) 409-5900 ahead of your visit for more parking information. We have one (1) wheelchair available for check-out (license or ID will be held until the wheelchair is returned). We also have private restrooms available for those who need them.
Please ask our front desk for more details or call our mainline at (619) 409-5900 for any other accommodations.
Service Animals:
Service animals are allowed on the Living Coast Discovery Center grounds with some restrictions. Service animals are restricted from visiting the Shorebird Aviary. Restrictions are subject to change at the discretion of the Living Coast Discovery Center staff.
Check in with your service animal at the front desk to review specific requirements and register your service animal if qualified under the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act—call (619) 409-5900 if you have any questions.
