Disabilities & Accessibility in New Orleans

Curbs are cut on most corners in the French Quarter and CBD. In the Garden District the terrain is flat, but not all curbs are cut and the sidewalks are badly cracked by the roots of the many live oaks. The Audubon Zoo, the Aquarium of the Americas, riverboats, and swamp boats are all accessible. Gray Line has tour buses that accommodate visitors with mobility, hearing, and visual impairments.
