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

PMG does not currently offer regular tours for the visually impaired, but seeing-eye dogs are welcome and the garden and gallery walls can be experienced through touch.

Tours in Spanish are offered upon request and appointment. Please call us at 215-733-0390 with questions about accessibility and we will try to accommodate your needs.
