Changing Places and adult changing

A Changing Places toilet is a larger accessible toilet with an adult-size changing bench and a hoist, built to a published UK standard. An ordinary accessible toilet is not the same thing, and neither is a baby-changing table. This guide sets out which parks on this site publish an adult changing bench, a hoist or a room they call Changing Places, in the park’s own words, and where we found nothing. It is desk research, not a visit report. We have not inspected any room, and it is not medical or safety advice. The park decides what is available on the day.

In short

Only a minority of parks publish anything adult-sized. Only 28 of the 87 parks on this site name a bench, table, hoist or care room. The rest mention only ordinary accessible toilets, baby changing, or nothing.
Eight parks use the words “Changing Places”: Efteling, LEGOLAND Windsor, Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, Chessington, Paultons, Dyreparken and LEGOLAND Billund (as a heading). Even then, hoist type, load limit, bench size and sling rules are often missing.
Several parks describe a bench and hoist without the label, for example Blackpool, Drayton Manor, Flamingo Land, Liseberg, Kolmården and Disneyland Paris. We do not call these Changing Places rooms, because the parks do not.
In German-speaking parks the term is “Toilette für alle” (Europa-Park, Tripsdrill, Heide Park). Europa-Park’s English page calls it a “Toilet for all”.
Sling rules differ. Efteling, Paultons, Drayton Manor and Flamingo Land say to bring your own. Blackpool asks for your own harness. Liseberg says it does not provide one. Kolmården says it lends a harness. Most parks say nothing.
Access is by RADAR key, a code, a key card or staff. Check the arrangement before you rely on the room.
A companion restroom, family room or baby-changing table does not tell you that adult care is possible. Many US parks publish only those.

Changing Places, adult changing and “toilet for all”

We use each park’s own words, because the labels are not interchangeable.

Changing Places: a UK-standard room with a hoist, a changing bench and space for a wheelchair and helpers. We list a park under that name only if the park uses it. We have not checked any room against the standard.
Adult changing facility, hoist room, changing room: the park describes some equipment but does not claim the standard.
Toilet for all (“Toilette für alle”): the German-language term for a similar room. The parks that use it give less detail than the UK parks.
Adult changing table: a table only. It may or may not be height-adjustable and does not mean a hoist.
Accessible or disabled toilet, companion restroom: a toilet with space for a helper. Not an adult changing bed.

Parks that publish a concrete changing room

“Not stated” means we did not find it on the pages we read, not that the park has none. Dates are when we opened the page. Where a page refused our request, the cell says so and we have kept the profile’s dated claim.

These profile findings were recorded on 1 or 2 October 2026 and not all were re-opened for this guide. A park may have published something since. If you find it, tell us.

USA, Canada, Australia and Asia

These parks’ pages, as we read them for our profiles, publish no hoist and no adult-size bench, or mention only companion restrooms or baby changing. Several name a quiet room or companion restroom, which is not the same thing: Canada's Wonderland, Carowinds, Cedar Point, Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Over Texas, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, LEGOLAND California, LEGOLAND Florida, SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Sesame Place Philadelphia, Universal Studios Hollywood, Galaxyland, Warner Bros. Movie World, Dreamworld, Universal Studios Singapore, Ocean Park Hong Kong, Hong Kong Disneyland, Shanghai Disney Resort, LEGOLAND Dubai, LEGOLAND Malaysia, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, Yas Island parks. For most of the Six Flags parks (Canada’s Wonderland, Carowinds, Great America, Over Texas and Fiesta Texas) our profile records that no adult changing facility is published.

Where parks disagree with themselves

Chessington places its adult changing room in Shipwreck Coast on one page and in Wild Woods on another. Our profile records that the two pages also disagree on the Ride Access Pass information hub.
Alton Towers uses “changing places” for four locations on its help centre, while Merlin’s accessibility page names one Changing Places room and two smaller “Spaces to Change”. Do not treat them as interchangeable.
Tivoli lists its ceiling lift and reclining bench but says access was temporarily closed for construction, so the one published adult room may not be available.
Bobbejaanland lists a care room in Wondergarden, which our profile records as closed for a rebuild.

Planning care breaks, not only changing

Our care and rest planner compares seventeen parks on adult changing, care rooms, quieter spaces, first aid, medication storage and equipment hire, including each park’s sling and key steps. Use it with this guide, then confirm the details with the park.

How to plan

This is our planning advice, not a park rule.

Find the park’s own wording first. Look for the words Changing Places, adult changing, hoist, care room or “Toilette für alle” on its accessibility page and its guide.
Ask what equipment, exactly. A hoist can be ceiling-mounted or mobile. A bench can be fixed or adjustable. A UK label does not answer sling, load or size questions.
Sort the key before you travel. A RADAR key may be lent for a deposit (£10 at Chessington and Thorpe Park, £20 at Alton Towers), but stocks are limited. Bring your own if you have one. Some parks use a code, a key card or staff instead.
Bring your own sling or harness unless the park says it lends one. Only Kolmården says it lends a harness. Efteling’s hoist needs a sling with four to six loops.
Find the room on the map or app when you arrive, and note how far it is from the rides you plan.
Have a back-up. A room may be closed, locked or out of order. Ask what the park does then, and where the nearest first aid post is.

Questions worth asking the park

Use our ask the park page for the wording, or send these as they are.

Is there a toilet with an adult-size changing bench and a hoist, and what do you call it?
Where is it, how far is it from the rides, and is the route step-free?
Is the hoist ceiling-mounted or mobile, what is its safe working load, and what sling does it take? Do you lend one?
What are the bench’s length, height and whether it adjusts?
Is it opened with a RADAR key, a code, a key card or by staff? Is there a deposit, and can I reserve a key?
What happens if the room is out of order or closed?

Official sources

All opened on 2 October 2026 unless marked.

Not re-opened: the Alton Towers help-centre page and the Dollywood page both refused our request (HTTP 403); Kings Island, Universal Orlando and Grönalund could not be re-read, so their claims come from our profiles.

Each park profile has detail this guide leaves out, such as ride restrictions and transport. See also the care and rest planner, sensory and quieter days and getting to theme parks with assistance.

Park policies and website pages can change. Where a park gives conflicting information, ask it to confirm which applies to your visit. Spotted something out of date? Tell us.
