Many attractions also offer this opportunity for free, but there the principle is that the first person in need receives a wheelchair, i.e. there is no advance reservation.
Table Rock Welcome Center, for example, has 8 chairs, Floral Showhouse and Butterfly Conservatory have one each. Marineland offers wheelchair rental for a fee, which can be found at the Aquarium Dome.
