    Incredible accessible changing/bathroom facility

    As a part of the MND Scotland Research Team I visited Dundee Science Centre to view it as a venue for an engagement event our team was planning. The entrance was a ground level and in close proximity to the car park which included accessible parking spaces. The cafe and prism space which we viewed for our event was spacious with an accessible bathroom close by. We were particularly impressed by the accessible changing/bathroom facility which was located round the corner from the cafe.

    Fun Accessible New Updates

    Level access science museum in the city centre of Dundee, they’ve updated the ground floor of the centre and just reopened at the end of June 2021. I was invited to have a tour around Dundee Science Centre and it was closed to the public the day I visited so my review can’t reflect on the busyness of crowds.
