Accessibility info
Accessibility information for Bringing Research to Life
This area is accessible for everyone to enjoy. It's great sensory fun. You can see all the displays. You can hear them. They’re low down so you can touch them too. If you need a sensory backpack or a wheelchair, just book one before you visit.
Some of the exhibits are in a darker environment. Give your eyes time to get used to the dark. If you use British Sign Language, it might be difficult. Don’t like noisy or dark or smelly places? We’ve got a special map to show you where they are. You can borrow ear defenders from the Welcome area, Bio:Space, Science Theatre and Science Live too.Â
Ask us for anything you need. We’re here to help you have fun.
