At Ease early opening: Armed Forces Day special

This Armed Forces Day, enjoy a relaxed early opening of the Museum where families with additional sensory needs can experience the galleries in a quieter environment.

From 8.30am to 10am, our galleries will be open early for families with additional sensory needs. Select interactives will be turned off, noises and lights turned down, and a quiet room will be available for downtime.

Our friends from Zoolabs will also be around for a relaxed handling session with their camouflage critters.

Explore the Museum further with sensory backpacks that enhance the experience with tactile aids.

All visitors to this special early opening will be sent a visual story in advance to provide an idea of what to expect on arrival. Please note that the Museum opens to the general public at 9.30am, with the galleries opening at 10am.

Zoolab session is available as part of your ticket for the At Ease early opening.
