Overall Rating
Good
It was fairly easy to park, get in and get around the museum.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Overall, the museum is a good experience as it is fairly easy to get in, to get around, to see the many exhibits, and to find a loo or get some refreshments. We particualry liked the height of the various interpretation boards as they were easy to read and even had space under them so you coukld wheel up close. The lifts were spacious enough for one wheelchair at a time so we did it in relays.
Parking & Transport
Good
Parking was fairly easy with dedicated Blue Badge bays a short distance from the rear entrance to the museum. The route from the parking was level and easy to negotiate as a wheelchair user.
Accessible Toilets
Average
The accessible toilets were varied. The one we used on the Lower Ground floor with the changing bench wasn't great as there was very little space between the bench and the loo which made moving aorund with a wheelchair / powerchair difficult. That said, the loo on the main floor was very good with plenty of room, it was clean and bright and light.
Staff
Good
Staff were very helpful in giving directions when we weren't too sure which way to head for.
