Family visit essentials
Useful expectations and practical guidance in one place

What children can see and do

Expect walking and seasonal conditions rather than a permanent indoor children's space. 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 fixed age band is stated for the whole venue. Match the visit to the child's interest and attention span, and check dated workshops for their own minimum age or school-year requirement.

Practical information

Supervise children near steps, edges, water or delicate plants and check seasonal opening before travelling. Useful confirmed facilities include Mapped wheelchair access; consult the amenity details for limitations and exact access. Confirm the current session or activity at arrival even when general admission is free.
