Questions parents ask
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- The guided tour lasts approximately one hour, with additional time to explore the other exhibitions in the museum. Tours run on the hour throughout opening times.
- Can we bring a buggy, and will it work with children of different ages?
- We haven't confirmed whether buggies are practical here. The museum has an interactive tour option for visitors with poor mobility, and staff have received autism awareness training to support children with different needs.
- Is there a café, or should we bring our own food?
- The museum café is currently closed to the public, though it can cater for groups by prior arrangement. You may wish to contact the museum to discuss options for your visit.
- Do we need to book in advance, or can we just turn up?
- Individual visitors can turn up during public opening times without booking. However, guided tours run on the hour, so you may have a short wait depending when you arrive.
