Wheelchair Accessible? There is a “10-acre ornamental garden, a quarter-mile pond loop through a freshwater, tidal marsh and a four-story environmental center.”    One visitor to TripAdvisor mentions that the boardwalk “…can be easily traversed with a stroller or wheelchair.”   Still a good idea to call first.
