Family Fun Zone

Prince's Gardens

Families with neurodivergent members (e.g. people with autism spectrum conditions or sensory processing difficulties) can book onto a quieter, calmer exploration of the Family Fun Zone with fewer crowds.

Most Family Fun Zone activities will be open, and you can meet scientists and engineers, join in with experiments, play games, sing songs, enjoy stories and do arts and crafts.

The Family Fun Zone has trees for shade, grass to play on or spaces to sit and relax.
