Useful expectations and practical guidance in one place

What children can see and do

The platform route climbs 330 steps to 66 metres and ends with panoramic and augmented-reality interpretation. 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

The page prices children aged 6–17; no separate minimum climbing age is stated.

Practical information

Under-sixes enter free, but adults should judge whether children can safely manage 330 steps; bad weather or crowding can close the climb. 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.
