Dawnosaurs

Neurodivergent children and their families have the opportunity to explore the museum before anyone else and enjoy activities around different themes.

Dawnosaurs is a free event for neurodivergent children, including those with autism, ADHD, Tourette’s, OCD and other sensory processing difficulties.

Enjoy the Museum, free from the hustle and bustle of the general public. You’ll have access to a wide range of galleries and activities supported by and led by our experienced, neurodivergent-aware facilitators.

This event is best for children aged five to 15, and siblings are welcome.

It’s essential that you book a free ticket online. Tickets are released for each event a few months in advance.

The themes for this year’s Dawnosaurs are:

Saturday 10 October – Jurassic Dawnosaurs: Creatures and Currents Saturday 5 December – Fossils and Dinosaurs

Tickets for each date will be made available six months in advance.
