wheelchair travel in Charleston

any ideas about going around in a wheelchair in Charleston--i.e. accessible tours, on the water or the ground? where to stay/ eat/ go? We have some ideas but maybe someone out there has done it and has others? thanks!

wheelchair travel in Charleston

I don%26#39;t know when you are going and I hope I%26#39;m not too late... My son is handicapped and uses a wheelchair and Charleston is one of our favorite vacation spots! Most of the city is very accessible. Sometimes you have to ask how to get in--but most places are easily accessible. The Exchange and Provost Dungeon (from the 1700%26#39;s) has an elevator inside. They will have to let you in the back of the building. The front side toward the street has steps. There is usually an employee near the doorway just ask them to have someone let you in the back (the side closest to the harbor). Most of the sidewalks are cutout and accessible, although the cobblestone streets get a bit rough...sometimes the sidewalks may have some rough cracks too. They are passible, just bumpy. We like to stay at the Sleep Inn. It is 3 story with indoor corridor, has ADA rooms and has an elevator to access all floors. Also, free continental breakfast. Most walking tours are accessible. Also if you go to Ft. Sumter--they will load you on the boat. The fort itself is accessible. Ft. Moultrie on Sullivan%26#39;s Island is also accessible. Hope you have a wonderful time. Market okay too.
