The crew at the Beardsley Zoo installed an "able table" in an effort to become more accessible to all guests.
The new feature can be found at the picnic patio in front of the Peacock Café.
It allows guests of all abilities to comfortably sit alongside family and friends.
"Its important for it to be here because it allows accessibility for everybody. Parents with kids with strollers, people with wheelchairs, walkers, anyone with mobility issues can sit at the table. The Beardsley Zoo gets upwards up to 250,000 visitors a year and every single of them can sit at the able table," says Able Solutions director Debbie Williams.
The table also features a custom wildlife mural that celebrates the zoo's animals.
