SEN Stay and Play is exclusively for children under 5 years only. Booking is essential to guarantee your child’s place. Adults do not need to pre-book their place. Please note all children must be accompanied by a maximum of two adults.
Siblings over five are welcome to come along free of charge but the focus of the activities is with the main group of children.
After SEN Stay and Play you can find the rabbit in Parkinson’s Yard, tunnel in the Technology Gallery or visit our Victorian Gallery. Watch out for the cute canaries, the ponies in our Pony Discovery Centre and if you’re ready for a ‘pitstop’ there’s Caphouse Café or visit the Adventure Playground and bring a picnic.
