We know that a typical visit to Esplora Interactive Science Centre can be quite challenging for those who feel overwhelmed with loud sounds and bright lights. That is why, at Esplora we have the Sensory Friendly Hours where we will be adjusting the ambiance inside Esplora to allow neurodiverse children and adults to explore Esplora and fully enjoy everything that we have to offer in a peaceful atmosphere. Our team are trained and will always be on hand to support parents and caregivers if ever needed.

From our reception desk, you can ask to borrow a Sensory Bag which includes items such as sand timers for turn-taking, visual aids, fidget toys, sunglasses and ear defenders. These items are available any time at Esplora to help make your visit more comfortable and enjoyable.

During the Sensory Friendly Hours, we will provide a map which highlights areas of our exhibition floor.
