Sensory Friendly Sessions: Croc! Lost Giants to Living Legends
8.15am — 10am
This event is suitable for all ages
We’re turning the sound down and reducing visitor numbers in the Croc! Lost Giants to Living Legends exhibition to create a calmer, more relaxed museum experience.
These quieter hours are designed to welcome guests on the autism spectrum, and anyone who would benefit from a less busy, lower-sensory environment.
To help create this experience, we’ll be:
- Reducing lighting effects and turning off audio in exhibitions. All museum exhibitions will operate at lower sensory settings from 8:15am–10:00am.
- Limiting ticket availability in paid exhibitions and opening earlier.
- Clearly signposting areas with higher sensory stimulation.
- Providing a limited number of earmuffs and sensory kits, available to borrow from the Cloakroom on Level 2.
Croc! Lost Giants to Living Legends is a paid, ticketed exhibition with strictly limited numbers. Companion cardholders and children under 5 enter free (but still require a ticket).
All museum staff have received training in autism and disability awareness to help ensure an accessible and welcoming visit for everyone.
To book a Croc! Lost Giants to Living Legends session, visit the QTIX website and select your preferred session marked 'Sensory Friendly' from the available dates.
