Relaxed SENdays
A relaxed day for disabled visitors and their families
What’s relaxed about it?
Low visitor numbers:
We’ve heavily restricted ticket availability on these days, so our galleries will be much less busy than usual.
Flexible timings:
We want these days to work around you! Which is why – although we do ask you to select an arrival time – we are flexible if you happen to get here a little earlier or later than your slot.
Chill Out Room:
Need some time out away from the main museum? Just ask any of our Enablers (the people in purple shirts with “Eureka! Science + Discovery” written on them) for access to our Chill Out Room.
Ear defenders:
You can borrow a pair of ear defenders for free from our Information Desk (by the admissions tills) – subject to availability, obvs.
Fully accessible venue:
Including lifts and a Changing Places loo.
Trained, supportive staff:
Our whole team are trained in disability awareness, and we really want you all to have a great day out. Just ask us if there’s anything we can do to support you 🙂
Do I have to pre-book?
Yes please! All visitors must pre-book, even if you are an existing annual pass holder. There will be a very limited number of tickets available on this day!
Upcoming SENdays:
Sunday 15th September
Sunday 8th December
SENdays will be more frequent in the future!
We’re working hard on hosting SENdays far more regularly. Until we’re in a position to do so, please know that everyone at Eureka! Science + Discovery wants you to have the absolute best day ever. We’re here to help, so if you need anything, just let us know!
Feeling like you need a break? Just ask any of our friendly staff to point you to our chill out room.
Need a sensory bag to make your day smoother? You can book one out from the Hub.
Our Changing Places facility is conveniently located in the Ferry Terminal.
Pick up a sunflower lanyard from the Hub to let us know you might need a bit of extra help.
Ear defenders are available at the Hub too, to keep things nice and quiet.
If you need a wheelchair, we’ve got one you can borrow. Just ask!
Our staff are fully trained and ready to assist you. Enjoy your day, and remember, we’re here to make it amazing!
