Best time
Visit on a rainy day when outdoor activities aren't possible — the museum is specifically designed as an excellent indoor alternative and provides a contained space for kids to burn energy.
Visitor tip
The calm room is a valuable feature for sensory-sensitive children — reviews highlight it as one of the key exhibits, so plan to include it in your visit if your child needs a quiet break from more stimulating activities.
Visitor tip
Supervise older children closely as the space is large enough to lose track of kids, but this also means it accommodates families well without feeling cramped or overwhelming.
