Family visit essentials
Useful expectations and practical guidance in one place

What children can see and do

Expect exposed elevated walkways, stairs and access towers rather than an indoor child museum. Expect the family experience to use the same visitor route as the general visit unless the current programme advertises a separate workshop or guided session.

Age guidance

No general child age is stated; suitability depends on comfort with exposed elevated walking.

Practical information

Assess heights, stairs, weather and walking confidence before booking; supervise children closely throughout the route. 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. Check the official admission channel for family prices, dated capacity and whether children still need a zero-price ticket.
