Access and Facilities

Disabled Access

We have disabled access throughout the centre and disabled toilets are also available. For groups please be aware that for health and safety reasons we are only able to accommodate 10 wheelchairs within the attraction at any one time.

We can accommodate small mobility scooters.

Free Carer Policy

  • One carer goes free for every disabled guest who purchases a ticket. You must pre-book online as long as you bring proof of disability with you on the day of your visit. Proof can be a Doctors note, a blue badge or something that states the disability. When booking tickets, you can add a free carer ticket to your booking by scrolling down on the ticket page. The carer will be admitted free on the day when proof of disability is shown at admissions.
