Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately, the museum garden of the Hortus Bulborum is less suitable for wheelchair users. However, we do have a so-called Beach wheelchair available. This allows one to view the museum garden quite well. You can also use the main paths just fine with a walker, however, the narrow paths between the bulbs are not suitable for this.
