Accessibility Guide

Our nearest station is London Waterloo which has ramped access from the main station. We are also reachable by many other public transport links and we recommend visiting TFL's journey planner which will provide you with the best route. Unfortunately we do not have any parking facilities on site, and suggest you leave your flying carpets and onion carriages at home.

Please make sure you book a carer ticket prior to your visit and bring the relevant documentation as this will be checked on arrival. Carer tickets like all other tickets are subject to availability, so please in advance to guarantee entry.

Our team is trained to recognise the hidden disabilities sunflower lanyard. We offer these lanyards and ear defenders should you or your guests need them. Please speak to a member of staff at any point during your visit, should you require any assistance.

We admit 1 wheelchair user per hour, at each quarter past the hour. We currently do not have wheelchairs available for hire. Wheelchairs must not be over the width of 27 inches wide and must be able to navigate tight angles and uneven flooring. Unfortunately we are unable to admit mobility scooters.

Please pre-book a wheelchair timeslot following the link below. All wheelchair timeslots must be accompanied with an attraction ticket. If you are unable to book at wheelchair timeslot and tickets at the same time, please visit at the time of your wheelchair timeslot. Please note we are only able to accommodate 1 wheelchair booking per timeslot.

On arriving at Shrek’s Adventure please speak to a member of the team at the entrance and they will assist in your entry into the attraction. The entrance is step free and on ground level. Access to the first floor is via a lift.

The majority of the tour is on level pathways however the floor of the Magic Bus Depot and the Rickety Bridge have an incline and some floor surfaces are uneven.

There is a clearly marked space for wheelchairs in each performance area to ensure wheelchair users have an uninterrupted view. 

There are also restrictions on the Magic Bus, please see below.

The magic bus is a 4D cinema experience that includes water sprays, air blasts, fog and aromas. You should not experience this section of the tour if you suffer from any disorder or condition that may be affected by any of the above, or if you have an overly sensitive nose and don’t like the smell of swamps!

The bus is not suitable for guests who suffer from the following conditions: Epilepsy, motion sickness, if you have a heart condition or if you are fitted with a pacemaker, Asthma, any other chronic illness.

The bus is accessible to wheelchair users who are able to transfer up one step, into the seat and have the ability to sit upright.

Bookings on the day are subject to availability. To avoid disappointment, buy your full price ticket online (with a time slot) and book a carer’s ticket using the link here.

Please ensure you bring the relevant documentation as this will be checked on arrival.

To receive the free carer ticket, you will need to provide documentation that provides evidence of your disability. We ask for this to ensure that guests who need it can get the best possible assistance and to guarantee that this system is not abused. Evidence can be your blue/orange badge, a DLA letter or a letter from your doctor or physician.

We have a disabled toilet at the entrance of the tour on the first floor opposite the lifts. This is fitted with an alarm, hand rail on the left hand side a separate wash basin and hand dryer. If a toilet is required prior to entry the closest disabled toilets are found by the London Eye ticket office which is on ground level.

Wheelchairs must not be over the width of 27 inches wide and must be able to navigate tight angles and uneven flooring. Unfortunately we are unable to admit mobility scooters.

To ensure the safety of our guests we are only able to admit one wheelchair user per hour due to fire evacuation procedures.

Shrek’s Adventure is mainly delivered by actors, voice over audio and projected images. Guests with low vision or have a visual impairment or have hearing difficulties may struggle to experience the attraction fully; however you are able to bring a carer free of charge to assist.

Assistance dogs are welcome at Shrek’s Adventure. However, due to Health and Safety regulations they are not permitted on the ride. A member of your party must be with the dog at all times. Please note there are loud noises, mist and lighting effects and smells that may be confusing for assistance animals.

Here at Shrek’s Adventure every effort is made to ensure all guests are able to experience as much of the adventure as possible. However there will be occasions where guests with medical requirements will need to make a decision about whether sections of the tour are appropriate for them. Equally, it is important to note that we are a walk-through attraction and there are only a few opportunities to sit down throughout.

There are shows and areas of Shrek’s Adventure that contain strobe lighting which may affect those suffering from photosensitive epilepsy. We recommend speaking to a member of the team before you enter and begin your tour so we can fully brief you on locations strobe lighting is used.

We use lifts within our attraction to take guests from the ground to first floor. This lasts 10 seconds, and there is a magical distraction inside in the form of Gingy the Gingerbread Man. However if you cannot experience the lift, please speak to a member of staff who will bypass you past the lifts. Please note that this will incur a very short cut through The London Dungeon which may be dark. This will last approx. 10 seconds and you will be accompanied by a staff member at all times (there will be no actors or narrow spaces). You will also need to walk up a set of stairs so please ensure you are physically able to do so before enquiring about bypassing the lift.

We also have a mirror maze just after Game Show which some guests may find uncomfortable. If this is the case, please speak to the actor and advise them that you would like to bypass the maze.

Although there are moments you can sit throughout the tour the majority of the time you will be standing and walking over uneven flooring. There are also sections of the tour that may not be suitable for you or may even create a risk of aggravating the injury. These areas can include chair movements in some shows. Please speak to a member of the team about the specific nature of your medical issue and we can ensure that we bypass areas which may not be suitable for you.

If you have a pacemaker or have a heart condition please make yourself known to a member of the team to discuss the areas of the tour which may not be suitable for you.

Pregnant guests are welcome to visit Shrek’s Adventure at any time during their pregnancy and can take part in all of our shows. The tour itself can take up to one and a half hours where you will be walking and standing the majority of the time.

We are a highly sensory experience with many different sights, sounds and smells

Some characters may be scary for certain people, including the witches (who you will see in animation) and costume characters like Shrek, and any seasonal visitors.

At any point, during the tour, feel free to let a member of staff know if you or a member of your party needs to leave or take some time out
