In the Philipszaal , these are rows 1, 2, and 16. We’d be happy to assist you! Please contact us by phone at 040-211-11-22.

Do you use a walker or mobility scooter? Feel free to ask a Parktheater staff member to help you during your visit.

There are also special wheelchair-accessible seats available in all auditoriums. You can watch the performance from your wheelchair. Wheelchair-accessible seats can only be reserved by phone at 040-211-11-22.

Hearing amplification

All auditoriums at the Parktheater are equipped with a hearing assistance system, the Phonak Roger system. This system is available to people with hearing impairments, whether they use their own hearing aid or not, who simply wish to have hearing assistance during the performance. The hearing assistance devices can be af at the box office before the performance begins.

Carefree enjoyment with Celebrate life (65+)

More and more elderly people are reluctant to arrange their own theater visits. Stichting Vier het Leven (Foundation Celebrate Life) organizes cultural activities where everything is arranged for carefree enjoyment. Volunteers pick up the elderly (65+) at home and together they go to a theater performance. Contact Vier het Leven at www.4hetleven.nl or call 035 - 524 51 56.
