Hosted by Audubon Chapter of Minneapolis; co-sponsored by Birdability®

Join us as we enjoy birdwatching on the new terrace and take a short (optional) walk into the sanctuary.

Advance registration is required. Limited to 15 participants. 

We will meet at the shelter at the western edge of the Rose Garden parking lot. 

This outing is appropriate for birders with a range of mobility challenges including birders who use wheelchairs, walkers, or canes, as well as those with difficulty walking, but all birders are welcome. We expect to see many species of bird at close range. All birders from beginner to experienced are welcome.

• Binoculars will be available for those who need them. 

• Please dress for the weather.

Birdability®/accessibility description: The terrace is just feet from the parking lot. The path is paved and has curb cuts from the parking lot. Disability parking spaces are available and accessible portable toilets are located nearby. 

There are a few benches on the terrace. We will spend the first 45 minutes on the terrace. For the second half of the event, we will take a short, easy, OPTIONAL hike into the sanctuary along Bossen Lane. Bossen Lane is mostly level and wide and is hard-packed dirt or gravel. There may be mud after a rain. There is one bench several hundred feet in. 

Parking is metered, but is free with a disability hangtag. Free parking is available nearby along Lake Harriet Parkway.
