Practical advice for arranging your visit
- To gain the most from their visit children should be closely
supervised. We suggest a ratio of 1 adult per 10 children.
- We suggest that you bring a maximum of 90 children on self-led
visits. It will be useful to split into smaller groups of 30
and stagger entry by around 10 minutes to avoid bottlenecks.
- Disabled parking and coach access to the museum is from The
Grove entrance into Stewart Park.
- A visit can take from 2 hours to a full day. The museum offers
free admission for teachers prior to their class visit to aid
planning.
- To prevent bottlenecks in the reception area please arrange
for small groups to visit the shop at separate times during
your visit.
