Accessibility
Fort Whoop-Up is a heritage site located in the river valley of Lethbridge. The site includes both indoor and outdoor spaces. Indoor facilities include a gift shope, classroom, and the Niitsitapi Gallery. The outdoor area features a large gravel courtyard that provides access to additional exhibits and daily activities. Due to the gravel surface, this courtyard may present challenges for visitors who use mobility aids such as wheelchairs or walkers. Fort Whoop-Up is committed to providing accessible experiences wherever possible and welcomes visitors to contact staff in advance to discuss accommodations or alternative access options to support their visit.
Accredited service dogs are permitted throughout the facility, but a Service Dog Identification Card must be shown upon entry, and each dog should be easily identifiable with a vest or harness. Unfortunately, other animals are not allowed inside the fort. For any accommodation requests or support, please reach out to our front desk at 403.320.3777
