Overall Rating
Excellent
We went by car and parked in the carpark beside the discovery centre which is free for blue badge holders. The V & A museum is opposite the train station. Flat entrance into the museum then everywhere is wheelchair accessible. Theres a lift to the upper floor where the exhibits are. The main gallery has plenty of room to move around in a wheelchair but I found a lot of the exhibits were too high for me to see. Theres a leaflet for children (and some adults) to look for stamping points and this encourages you to talk about the exhibits. Theres a cafe on the ground floor and a restaurant on the 2nd floor. Very good accessible toilets. The main museum is free but theres a charge for visiting exhibitions. We took 2 hours , including lunch, to go round the museum .

Good
We didn't actually interact with any staff but they seemed helpful and friendly
Additional Information
It only took me 2 hours to go round the V & A and this included lunch so I would recommend combining the V & A with something else if you're making a special trip to Dundee.
