Enjoy a comfortable environment for kids and adults on the autism spectrum and visitors with a variety of access requirements.

On Sensory-Friendly Sundays in Spring, our new exhibition (James Cameron, Challenging the Deep), our submarine HMAS Onslow, and activity areas will be open extra early for a quieter experience and modified to suit people on the autism spectrum and with a range of differing abilities.

Our trained staff and volunteers will be on hand to facilitate creative activities.
