Retractable walking sticks in the parks

TeeKayDawn · 5 Jun 19, 07:24 AM

Does anyone else use a folding walking stick to the parks and is there any problem taking them through security
I’ve already checked the airports and they are allowed through there but struggling to find info for the parks.
I don’t use the stick all the time only when I get extremely tired but don’t want to carry a non-folding with me all the time.
TIA

I used one last time we went in 2015. No problem at all. When we went on rides I just older it up and put it in my handbag. I saw lots of people with walking sticks not sure if they were folding. A couple of times going through security they checked it, But very pleasant and asked if I could stand Ok whilst they did it.

My sister uses one along with a scooter so she can manoeuvre on and off rides and through restaurants. She's never had a problem with it.

I also use a signal cane that folds as find I only really need it out if its very busy or getting dark and there's never been a problem with that either although security once asked if it was my lightsaber which made me laugh!
