    Family Day Out - Wet Day

    Venue accessible and a few disabled parking spaces. Lots of distance to cover if you are limited in walking. I wouldn’t recommend using the main cafe as staff weren’t very cheery or helpful and most of the menu items were not available. The cafe by the IMAX was a thousand times nicer and great staff. There are a lot of exhibits which require you to be physically mobile (ie exercise bike, chair to sit in, wonky floors/rooms, winding wheels etc). Was great however seeing family partaking and to be able to join in the kids excitement of seeing the results. Science theatre show was amazing and would definitely recommend.

    Not sure if I'll be back.

    Travelled via car. Arrived and found a disabled space close to entrance but make sure you leave earlier incase you have to wait for one as it was really busy. I'm a wheelchair user and paths were easy to maneuver on. Staff were dotted about at the entrance but were no where to be seen after. It was extremely busy and kids everywhere which you would expect but if your sensitive to noise I would suggest leaving this one out. Seen a lot of sanitise stations which you will need. A lot of cool things on show but not sure if I'll be back.
