All groups will have access to toilets at the start and end of their session. Access to toilets outside of a group's two hour time slot is unavailable.
FOOD & WATER
Due to health and safety regulations, we do not allow excursion groups to eat or drink within the building. We do not presently have water bubblers available for students to use. Students may bring water bottles if required.
We recommend visiting one of our neighbouring parks to snack before the commencement of the tour and to eat lunch after. As there are no suitable spaces on-site for groups to eat or wait pre or post their excursion, it is advised visiting schools ensure to plan alternative arrangements in the case of extreme weather conditions.
In addition, students are not permitted to make any purchases from our café. For older students, there are a range of food options off-site in the area
