Overall Rating

Good

Visited Rip It Up at NHM. Was able to park at disabled spot at Tower Restaurant but disabled parking is s limited. There is a walk to the main entrance where there is a lift. I do not use a wheelchair but a walking stick. All the entrances appear to be wheelchair accessible. A good idea are fold up chairs which you can carry or use as a walking assistant so you can sit down anywhere when you feel tired. This made the exhibit easy to navigate plus there was some seating. Very good disabled toilets with very unusually sanitary dispensers. There are lifts but they are very busy

Disabled Access In and Around

Good

There was disabled toilet signage. There appeared to be an nduction loops. Lifts were busy. Small portable seats are available which is s great idea

Parking & Transport

Average

Parked in disabled spot but there are very view available now. Access to museum is step free and there are lifts to upper levels

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

Very large toilet with grab rails . Also had a sanitary product machine which I’ve never seen in a disabled toilet

Staff

Good

Appeared ok. I did not have any problems

Additional Information

I was worried about going round the museum but there are seats and the portable seats are a great idea
