Asylum in Melbourne isn’t wheelchair accessible and involves crawling and confined spaces. Its jump scares also mean it may not suit anyone with a pacemaker. The Collins Street team can suggest an alternative.
From Flinders Street Station it’s a few minutes’ stroll up to the Collins Street venue; if you drive, there’s street and paid parking around the block.
