The guest claims they had to explain their medical condition after being confronted by a staff member
A visitor has hit out at Blackpool Zoo after claiming to have been asked to move from a disabled seat at the attraction. The incident allegedly happened during the guest's visit to the site's Sealion show.
The guest recounted the alleged incident in a post on the travel review website TripAdvisor. At the time of writing, the visitor alleged that they'd complained to the "beautiful zoo" over the incident but was yet to receive a response. "I explained several times 'I can’t' until I was abused by other visitors and called selfish! Then, on the last time, the same staff member came back and explained that my seat is actually reserved for someone that needs it so I need to move!
A spokesperson for Blackpool Zoo responded with a statement which read: "For the majority of the year, the 12 spaces for our disabled visitors’ cars are sufficient and the area is rarely full. However, we do appreciate these can fill up on busy days such as during school holidays, and as such we block off additional spaces to be used if needed.
