The closest accessible bathroom can be found by entering the Crown Entertainment Complex through the entrance next to Spice Temple, located towards the end of the Festival. There are accessible doors which will open for you.
Once inside Crown, turn left to get to the lifts. Take the lift to the basement level where all bathrooms (incl. accessible bathrooms) are located. To get back to the Festival on Crown Riverwalk, take the lifts back up to the ground level.

All of our exhibitors, volunteers and staff will have maps and can show you where to find the accessible bathroom.
