This entire experience takes place outside within a trail network which is partially levelled gravel and dirt. These paths are not recommended for people with reduced mobility since they consist of several steep staircases and hills, that are both up and down.
Using a baby carrier is recommended although strollers are not recommended including the off-road/sports models.
