Accessibility

Much of the main indoor gallery at Philadelphia's Magic Gardens and parts of the outdoor sculpture garden are accessible to people in wheelchairs. Both the basement and the sculpture garden have stairways and narrow passageways that are not equipped with ramps, elevators, or railings. Visitors with disabilities are encouraged to further explore the work of Isaiah Zagar through tours that lead visitors through PMG and down the sidewalks and alleys of the surrounding neighborhood.

PMG currently offers TacTile tours for people with visual impairment. For more information about these tours, please see below. Seeing-eye dogs are welcome and the garden and gallery walls can be experienced through touch.

Please call us at 215-733-0390 or email khealy@phillymagicgardens.org with questions about accessibility and we will try to accommodate your needs.

TacTile Tours

TacTile tours lead visitors that are blind or partially sighted through the Magic Garden's main site allowing them to touch and explore the fully mosaicked gallery walls and labyrinth sculpture garden with trained PMG interpreters. Tour topics include Isaiah Zagar's mosaic techniques and artistic influences, the materials used in the mosaics, the narratives behind his iconography and images, and the history of South Street and Philadelphia's Magic Gardens. Guests who are blind, partially sighted, and sighted companions are welcomed to experience sculptures and tiles from around the world through this fun and informative program. Tours are regularly scheduled every third Sunday of the month, but can be scheduled on any day of the week. The TacTile Tours last approximately one hour and are capped at six people per tour.
