Special Needs Accommodations

The Riverside & Great Northern Railway provides limited accessibility for visitors with special needs.

The Museum's grounds, restrooms and public locations are generally accessible to visitors with limited mobility and visitors using wheelchairs and walkers.

Because of the historic nature of our rail cars, however, we regret that we cannot accommodate wheelchairs on train rides.

Please call us at 608-254-6367 if you have questions about special needs accommodations.
