Kansas rest areas

September 4 and five and September 14, 2012

All the rest areas that we stopped at along I-70 in Kansas worked well.

We parked in back not in a handicap spot but it wasn't crowded at all. There were two bathrooms just inside the back door where we entered one of them said accessible, but both seemed okay to me. There is plenty of space to get around and the table worked well.

Chick fil a and West Ridge Mall – Topeka, KS

September 14, 2012

Okay parking basic parking for a mall and was easy enough to get inside the building. We walked for a while before seeing the sign about the elevator which we needed to take to get to the food court on the second floor. We had to walk and drive for what seemed like forever down the long hallway to get to the elevator and then when on the second floor we had to go quite a ways to get to the food court. Next to the food court were great bathrooms especially the family room. There were many good tables in the food court area.

Zarda barbecue - Lenexa, KS

September 13, 2012

 

Parking was good and had to cross the traffic lane. Inside was okay didn't have a ton of space but was okay. The bathroom was difficult to get into. There were two doors and I needed help holding both at the same time with the person holding the doors where I needed to drive.  Once we figured out how to get inside the stall was not big enough to get in. Everything else in the place was just about average.

There were quite a few handicap parking spots all with good loading zone.  There was a water fountain that you have to walk past and go downhill for quite a ways to get to the door. One of the doors had a handicap button on it. When we bought tickets my mom asked if the tower was accessible the lady said yes there is an elevator and then 28 steps to the top, so I guess not for wheelchairs. Everything else had quite a bit of space around it and I could get to most places the bathroom was a little weird shaped but it worked okay.

Not Wheelchair accessible to top of tower, there are 28 steps.

Kansas City barbecue store Olathe, Kansas

This place used to be right next to Oklahoma Joe's a few years ago, but moved to the other side of the shopping center. It had two storefronts with plenty of space around everything.  one side of the place was lower but there was a ramp to the lower section.

Oklahoma Joe's Olathe, KS

September 13, 2012

There were a couple handicap parking places fairly close but with small loading zones and you had to cross the traffic lane in the shopping center. The bathroom was great and had a ton of space. Some tables were picnic tables and some seats that were up a step or two. However there were plenty of wheelchair accessible tables that would work except when we were there it was packed and about every table was taken. We squeezed into a table for 2 with 3 of us. The counter where you order was kind of high and you have to fill your own drinks

Comfort suites Kansas City Kansas

September 12 and 13 2012

 We stayed here a few years ago and it was very accessible so we returned. The elevator was a little worn since last time we were here. 

The handicap room was on the second floor. The handicapped room had two Queen Beds and a roll in shower and was very spacious. It had a ton of space for all of our stuff. The hoyer lift was able to go under the bed which was great and made life a lot easier.

In the bathroom the roll in shower was very good. The sink was okay to get under but there was no room to have someone next to me to help me brush my teeth or whatever else.

RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack -Mission Kansas

September 12, 2012

There were two handicap spots directly in front one was a van accessible spot. The parking spot was not flat and a little slanted which might not be ideal but it wasn't too difficult for me.  There was good spacing inside to get and our table worked great. The bathroom here is also good.
