This is an opportunity to explore the science centre if you, a friend, or a family member has additional needs...or perhaps you just prefer to visit without the crowds

On selected dates we schedule a quiet session...

We cannot guarantee the noise level of other visitors, but these dates are chosen because there will not be any large pre-booked groups on site:

The beginning of September is generally a Quiet Month as the new academic year commences...

--- why not schedule your September Quiet visit from 8th to 12th when no large numbers are expected!
