Good to know
Entrance price
Guests with disabilities pay the regular admission price. Personal helpers/accompanying persons are entitled to free admission. Our main entrance is wheelchair accessible.
Carers
If you have a disability that requires a carer, the carer is entitled to free admission. The carer must be at least 16 years of age and must be able to provide proof that they are working as a carer. If you have several carers, they must pay the regular entrance price, unless you can provide proof of the need for more than one carer. If you visit us without an authorised carer, but have a certificate stating that you need extra assistance with an activity, such as visiting a museum, we can grant free admission to a relative without proof that they are working as a carer. We accept certificates from the health service, municipalities, schools and assistance service companies.

Our car park is located approximately 100 metres from the entrance to the site and has marked disabled spaces. The walkway from our car park to the entrance is compacted earth.
