I want to go for a walk with my wheelchair at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center. Where will I park my car? How easily can I open the doors of the buildings? If I get tired from a long walk in the park, is there an accessible golf kart to service me? If I take a walk in the park using a white cane, will I be able to get the right guidance so that I can reach my chosen destination?
