Disability access day

Lovely venue with lots of accessible resources. Lift can get very busy as central feature of venue. Fantastic environment that can be a bit over stimulating for autistic visitors, this is not a problem though as lovely staff, sensory backpacks, early openings and accessible sessions make the whole experience very inclusive. Took part in a lovely sensory story to the jungle today, was enjoyed by the whole family. My daughter was on the periphery but 100% included. Well done seven stories and a huge thank you!

Outstanding

Just been to Seven Stories again and each time I go a staff member makes sure we are included in all the activities. There is a changing table and mobile hoist on the first floor along with the shower that's always available. What a fantastic place to visit.

Fab museum - must visit!

Seven Stories is a fab museum - I loved it!! There is so much to do and lots of exciting exhibitions to see. The only reason I've given it four stars is because parking is fairly difficult and there isn't great public transport links.
