Useful expectations and practical guidance in one place

Practical information

Family activities are normally dated, cost €6 per participating child under the published SMA tariff and may operate outside ordinary walk-up conditions. No additional family facility should be assumed from the family programme alone; check toilets, step-free access and pushchair storage directly if they affect the visit.
