12 GTA attractions that accept Access 2

Six publish a useful policy online. Six are confirmed on the current Access 2 list but still need a call before the family buys tickets.

The safest booking ruleNever assume “accepted” means “free online ticket.”

The support-person benefit may be free or discounted, and many venues process it only at Guest Services or the box office.

What this list proves

Participation is confirmed. The transaction may still vary.

Every attraction below appears on Access 2’s Ontario venue list updated June 22, 2026. A “clear policy” means the attraction also publishes enough current detail to plan the support-person ticket. It is not a promise that every visit will be barrier-free.

The venue is listed, but details are incomplete

Six confirmed participants with incomplete public details

Call or email before buying the full group.

07Toronto

Little Canada

Listed in the current Ontario Access 2 directory. The venue publishes an accessible Yonge Street entrance and limited free wheelchairs, but not a clear Access 2 transaction on its visitor page.

Official venue page
08Toronto

Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada

Listed in the current Ontario Access 2 directory. Confirm the support-person ticket path with Guest Services before buying a timed ticket for the full group.

Official venue page
09Toronto

Casa Loma

Listed in the current Ontario Access 2 directory. Ask whether the support-person benefit can be attached to an advance ticket or must be processed on arrival.

Official venue page
10Toronto

Museum of Illusions

Listed in the current Ontario Access 2 directory. Confirm the current caregiver amount and timed-entry process; some sensory effects and interactive rooms may not suit every visitor.

Official venue page
11Vaughan

Canada’s Wonderland

Listed in the current Ontario Access 2 directory. Access 2 admission and the park’s Attraction Accessibility Program are separate—visit Guest Services and review ride-specific requirements.

Official venue page
12Vaughan + Whitby

Reptilia Zoo

Both locations appear in the current Ontario Access 2 directory. Confirm the exact support-person benefit and whether it applies to the intended ticket or program.

Official venue page
Why Ontario Science Centre is not in the 12

It remains on the Access 2 list, but its permanent Don Mills building is closed and the future visitor experience is not stable enough for a practical family recommendation. PASS.ca will add it back when an operating visit can be planned.

A useful 30-second script

Ask five questions in one message.

“We are visiting on [date]. One guest has a current physical Access 2 card and needs one adult support person. What is the support-person admission, should we reserve an attendant ticket online, where do we check in, and what separate accessibility arrangements should we request before arrival?”

Add the actual access need—mobility, communication, sensory, service-animal, ride transfer or another requirement—without sending medical details the venue did not request.

Do not stop at the ticket

Four details can matter more than the admission saving.

01

Arrival and entrance

Confirm drop-off, parking, elevator access and the correct Guest Services location—not only the street address.

02

Queues and ride transfers

Access 2 is not a queue pass. Ask for the venue’s separate attraction-access process and ride-by-ride transfer requirements.

03

Sensory environment

Check strobe lighting, sudden effects, noise, quiet spaces, low-sensory hours and whether re-entry is possible.

04

Equipment and service animals

Wheelchair loans can be limited, and service animals may have restricted areas. Reserve or contact the venue where possible.
