Family Fun Zone: Relaxed Session

This bookable relaxed session is for families with members who are neurodiverse (for example, people with autism spectrum conditions or sensory processing difficulties) and need a quieter, calmer environment to explore the Family Fun Zone with fewer crowds. Try out some experiments, play, make, meet scientists and engineers and enjoy a story.

Most Family Fun Zone activities will be open, and there will be shows on the Family Stage. You can meet scientists, join in with experiments, play games and do arts and crafts. The Family Fun Zone has trees for shade, grass to play on or spaces to sit and relax.
