Wheelchairs
Some guests may be concerned that they do not have the strength or endurance to wait in line or walk between venues. We strongly suggest the use of a wheelchair.

Guests may need the assistance of a member of their party to fully utilize some areas.
Carroll staff and volunteers are not permitted to physically transfer guests to or from wheelchairs, so we recommend a member of the party be available to help.
Carroll is unable to provide wheelchairs for guests, but a nearby location rents wheelchairs at very reasonable rates. Contact Miller Mobility, 36336 N. Summit Village Way Oconomowoc, WI 53066, at 262.549.4900.
An additional rental option is Katy's Closet Medical Equipment Lending Library. Borrow medical equipment at no charge.

Other
