Date of visit: February 2025
I have experience of challenges around: a hidden impairment, moving around and understanding.
Overall Rating
Good
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.

Staff
Good
Staff article desk were very helpful and informative. After that there wasn’t many staff around that were noticeable.
Additional Information
Got very warm and stuffy the further/higher up the building you went which became unpleasant. Must not be good in the summer.
