In-depth at meow Wolf (Patreon)

This place was far out and artistic, however I must say for a power wheelchair it was barely accessible. Maneuvering the narrow walkways kept me focused so much on driving my chair and avoiding bumping into people or rolling over toes that I did not get to appreciate the art as much as my able-bodied caregiver.

I'm glad I made it through most of the sections, however I did avoid the strobe light area because ever since I've been paralyzed I do not handle flashing lights very well. This is most likely due to residual trauma and disorientation caused by my C1 injury. Same reason why I don't drink hard alcohol, I get a headache immediately because of my high injury.

I did see one other girl who was disabled there but she was just using a walker. She seemed a little bit disoriented as well and not enjoying the amount of people coming and going on the pathways. I think the best way to know if a place is really accessible is to have disabled people try it out and give their feedback… I don't know if meow Wolf Denver did this but I think they could benefit from a disabled point of view on some of their design. Nevertheless, it was a good challenge for me navigating and being around so many people, and I'm glad that I had the experience.
