SEN schools and groups are welcome to visit the museum at any time. Once a month we also host a Wonderlab day for SEN schools to get a quieter experience.
On these days we reduce the capacity of Wonderlab and extend the age range so more pupils can benefit from the quieter environment.
Alongside the gallery, we also offer priority booking for the Wonder Show, a 20-minute interactive show. This will allow us to tailor the content to meet your pupils’ needs.
You can also book onto other school shows, however these will be open to all school groups so they may be busier.
