Overall Rating
Good
Easy access to the park and the building, with plenty disabled parking right outside the building. The museum is set up well and plenty of room round most exhibits. There is a room set up (like a room) though I never attempted that to look into it. There are three levels and all accessible by lifts, though one of the lifts to the 1st floor was out of order with no signage to advise where the other lift was.

Accessible Toilets
Average
Plenty of accessible toilets at the main entrance and once in there is enough room to manoeuvre and turn scooter with a three (or more) point turn. Was clean and tidy with the standard grab rails. The main issue is the actual access, the doors are very heavy and have a tight hinge on them, I wasn't able to open the door on my own, luckily a gentleman opened the door for me. This seems to be an issue with new museums, it looks like the accessible toilets have fire doors on them.
