About
Relaxed Mouse Tales is a session aimed at families who may require a quieter environment to enable them to participate. This could include autistic visitors, visitors with adhd, learning disability, anxiety or other medical conditions which mean sitting or concentrating for long periods of time without moving; or coping with larger groups of people can be difficult.
The session will be most suited to participants who are learning at an age of 7 or under. There will be an interactive story, and songs followed by some simple exploratory play experiences which relate to the story theme. There will also be an opportunity to feel a museum object.
This ticket will include early entry to the museum before general opening hours.
