This relaxed session is for autistic visitors, visitors with learning disabilities or sensory and communication disorders, along with their families and carers. Or anyone else who feels they need a quieter experience of the museum. If that's not you, please visit after 10am.
You can also enjoy a free 15-minute planetarium show - sign up at the Welcome Desk on the day (limited capacity).
