Used last year, can't see on website now whether or not Max Cards are still accepted.

I was able to use the Max Card as proof I was a carer and as such, my entrance was free. They also offered advice as to where quieter areas were etc. Staff friendly and helpful.

My son did still get overwhelmed, but we were able to find plenty of quieter areas, such as near the canons, where he could calm down.

---

Easy booking by phone using Max Card to access a discount to £8 per person for two adults.

Accessible venue with Changing Places facility.

---

Used the Max card for discounted tickets to Alton towers.

As a family of 3 and a carer needed, tickets are expensive and it's not something I could afford at full price.
It was absolutely incredible.

My eldest with SEN is a massive thrill speaker and the sound of her laughter and squeals of delight was just pure joy!

---

We visited the Ark wildlife and Dinosaur Park Easter Monday.

With the Max card we got a free child with a paying Adult but adult was able.to pay carer rate rather than full adult price still.

Had a lovely day but really isn't particularly wheelchair accessible, I use a powerchair myself and struggled. Lady on till didn't know what Max Card was but once I said free adult with child she checked a folder and found it in there and was quite happy to use it.

Staff lovely but definitely not disability friendly place, cafe was far too crowded with tables to safely get around in wheelchair, footpaths etc definitely not wheelchair friendly and even more dangerous for those with sticks , poor eyesight or unsteady on their feet.

Children would enjoy going again, but I wouldn't go again as a wheelchair user for my owns safety and wellbeing as my body was shaken and sore after.

---

I have used my card often to see what offers I can use locally for my son like Ark wildlife park.

The Ark was amazing for my son and he loved it.
A great family day out and in the village I grew up in

---

(LPCF Note - Not listed as a Max Card Venue but nice to see the review.)

Didn't know what max card was, but very interested in joining the scheme, and would like to know more details about it.

Lots of accessibility support inc Changing Rooms facility and wheelchair loan etc.

---

We visited Boston Bowl for my youngster's first bowling experience.
We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff.

They accepted the Max card and gave us a discount on our family session.
The facilities were clean and well maintained.

At the time we visited there were sufficient quiet areas for my youngster to regulate himself when needed. Can't thank the staff enough.

---

Went to the Bronte Parsonage in Howarth today, got in free with our Max Card.

My son is autistic & he was able to sit down in a chair in most of the rooms, after looking at what he was interested in.

He enjoyed trying on the hats in the costume area. It's a lovely place to go, Howarth is very pretty but also hilly with cobbled street so probably not great for wheelchairs.

You can park right near the Parsonage, parking is only £1.50 an hour.

---

We had a spontaneous weekend trip to Butlins Skegness at the end of half term and used our Max card to get a £20 discount.
We found the staff very accommodating of our sons needs and the setting as a whole. It would not suit every SEN child as it can be busy and you have to choose activities around your child's personal needs.

Our son loves the thrill of fairgrounds, swimming, lights and shows so we found when the quieter times were for these. We also used our accommodation for times when calm time is needed away from the crowds.
Then had ear defenders etc for any loud areas we found ourselves in! The venue does have ear defenders to loan out if you need too.

You just need to visit the Max card page to get your code before booking.
I've found Not all booking advisors know about Max Cards and may put you on hold to check first.

---

We went at Christmas (for their special Alice in Wonderland' Christmas display.
I provided some feedback at the time on the Lincs carers forum FB page as I didn't realise this existed.

The Max Card made it brilliant value for money.

We went after Xmas so crowds were gone and our two autistic/adhd children weren't overstimulated and had time to process everything in their own way. It was a great day out and actually made our Christmas

---

Visited while on holiday.
Excellent discount, free child with full paying adult (max of 2)
Very steep site, unsuitable for buggies and wheelchairs.
Not too busy even in school holidays, quieter areas around the animals.

Lots of animal talks, sea lion show was good but very busy.
Limited toilets, disabled needed to ask for access.

Nice soft play with lots of interest in it, useful for sensory seeking, not too busy around 3pm.

Animal enclosures very good and good viewing of animals, just a shame about the steepness of the site, hard on little legs!

---

We spent a few days in Margate this summer.
Our ASD Daughter (age 14) loves fair rides. She has additional learning difficulties and needs adult support.

We chose a less busy time to visit Dreamland and showed the Max card. One career / adult could go free on any ride she needed support with.
We never needed to use the toilets on this occasion however they did have one disabled that I noticed.

The staff were friendly but not overly knowledgeable and because she looks older we find ourselves having to explain the need for adult support much more then when she was younger.

---

At Elsham Hall using the Max card we get a child free with a full paying adult.
Lovely place, lots of space, no big crowds. There are toilets in a few locations.
Staff are very friendly.

We don't stay very long, just have a walk round and play in the park, feed the fish, so only having to pay for the adults is great otherwise it would be a bit too expensive for us.

I would definitely recommend to other parents.

---

We got one child and one adult free entry to Eureka in Halifax.

Would definitely recommend our 7 year old loved it , all staff very friendly.

---

Free entry for 2 adults and 2 children.
We paid extra for a tour of the Ross Tiger which was well worth a visit for £2 each, but is only accessible by steps, and some of which, are very steep. Tour guide really knowledgeable and patient with all ages and abilities. Really interesting tour.

Online it states 1 free drink however this is not available. They apologized and said they have tried to get this removed from the Max card website several times but to no avail so far.

Toilets fully accessible and clean.
SEND packs available on request if required.

We visited during school holidays and it wasn't too busy so crowds not an issue.
Our children did comment on some of the smells around the venue but you could quickly pass though these if an issue.
Cafe clean and quiet. Staff were really patient when the children took time to decide what to order!

Over all a lovely place to visit if you are interested in fishing or local history. We will definitely return as both adults and children had a lovely day.

---

We got a free carer/adult ticket with the Max card.

This farm is also one of the more reasonably priced ones local to Lincoln making it a really good option.

It's a great place with lots of options for moving your body and lovely animals to feed.

---

Free carer

---

We were able to get a reduction in the booking price for Haven. This gave us a bit extra to spend on our holiday.
There was no problem with the booking.

As our chap borders on ADHD it was great to be able to go swimming most days to let off steam.

There was lots on site to occupy him too.

---

Enabled us to book a holiday that gave us a bit of discount that we were able then to spend on other things.

---

Upon showing the Max card a carer gets in free. This was a saving of £28.50. It is cheaper to book online.

Parking can get very busy and there is a walk to get the the cable cars. There is disabled parking. Due to the nature of the attraction , there are steep areas.

Even though it was busy, we were able to skip the queue because our autistic children find queuing overwhelming. Also, whilst the cable cars seat 6, again, even though it was busy, we were allowed a car to ourselves.

We were given an additional Accessibility Map, which covers sections for Autism and learning disabilities, blind and deaf visitors, and wheelchair users. This map indicates quieter areas, accessible paths, where all disabled toilets are etc.

Staff are extremely friendly, inclusive and autism aware. We had a lovely day and would definitely recommend to SEND families, being mindful that it does get busy.

---

I visited York and several places accepted the Max card, Jorvic, York Mister, they were amazingly supportive and accommodating allowing us to turn up and queue and making all reasonable adjustments.

It wasn't an issue and made the day fully accessible

---

We had free entry for 2 adults and 2 children to Jorvic Viking Centre.

When I presented the Max card, the staff member asked if there was anything we needed to make our visit easier, but we had everything we needed.

We booked for 10:45 but weren't sure we'd make it, so were able to switch to a later time via their website.

---

Up to 4 family members go free so fantastic discount and staff were very helpful.

We were offered a sensory bag with headphones and a traffic light system with red, amber and green based on whether my son wanted to interact with staff. We were also asked if he was ok to queue.

Lots of other places in York with discounts so great to visit with other attractions.
Would highly recommend!

---

We have used our Max Card in York at Jorvik Centre, York Minster, York DIG, and Barley Hall, and each visit has been a really positive experience.

The card gave us easy access with no waiting times, which made outings much smoother and calmer, financially it was a huge help as my son with ADHD loves history and we were able to visit more places without worrying about the cost.

All of the venues were SEND accessible and the staff were fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive.

At Jorvik, we were even given a sensory bag, which really helped my son stay calm and focused during the demonstration before the ride.

My son really wanted to visit the famous Ghost Shop in York, but there was constantly a long queue, and despite trying, it just wasn’t possible for him to manage the wait. We decided to ring the shop and explain that my son has a disability and struggles with queuing, and that we also have a Max Card. The staff were incredibly understanding and kindly booked us a slot so we could walk straight in, with only our family in the shop at that time. This made the experience so much easier and more enjoyable, and my son was absolutely delighted to be able to look around calmly and even purchase a ghost to take home.

Overall, the Max Card has made family days out more enjoyable, affordable, and inclusive, and I would highly recommend it to other parent carers.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have a max card

---

We used our Max card for our Legoland trip.
Easy to book, Max card was accepted with no issues.

Legoland was great for SEND, the sensory rooms are lovely and really helped regulate when needed.

We had great interactions with staff who were great at communication with our autistic child.

---

Free carer visit with disabled person.

Provide sensory packs few of charge, including ear defenders, and two fidget toys, free of charge.

Has quieter green areas to sit on and lots of fairy lights are used throughout. Are characters in fancy dress (which upset my children) but staff are extremely knowledgeable and would understand rapidly if a child was unsure and give them space.

---

(LPCF Note - Not listed as a Max Card Venue but nice to see the review.)

We used our Max Card over the summer at Lincoln Zoo.
I paid a carer rate so it saved us a couple of pounds.

---

We’ve visited twice now. Only pay concession for myself and they allow Freddie (SEN) and his brother free.

They advise any issues or any quiet space required to let them know. Really can’t fault them at all

---

Easy to book.
Wasn't too busy and I would recommend to other parents to go on a weekday.
Staff very knowledgeable.

---

Highly recommend Lincolnshire Wildlife park.

Very accessible and friendly staff.
Discount applied was paid for 2 concession rate and children were free which made it more achievable for us to get the kids out.

---

Fantastic place if your child is a bird/animal lover.
Plenty of places to sit down and rest. Wheelchair accessible to all areas including shop, toilets and cafe.
A great day out

---

Fantastic discount so it's very good if you have to leave after a short time as you're not wasting lots of money.

Great place and lots of animals to see, however be aware that the parrots are very loud and squawky which my boys were not keen on so ear defenders are a good idea.

All in all I would definitely recommend.

---

My son went in free and I paid concession price. We had a lovely day.

We was told any issues to just speak to a member of staff.
A lovely day out

---

After asking at reception I only had to pay for 1 out of 3 of us to enter Lincolnshire wildlife park. The venue was brilliant.

Mostly level walk ways so suitable for wheelchairs and buggies. Lots of benches around the park to stop for breaks also.

Various animals to view along with a map provided for those who need to know where they are going. Staff extremely friendly and any help needed they would help if they can.
Will definitely be going again as my son really enjoyed it.

I'm unsure what the toilet facilities are like as we didn't use them and the road leading to the park is extremely bumpy so I would be careful driving along there but otherwise a brilliant park and worth the travel to see the smile on my sons face.

---

Visited using Max Card first time Easter Sunday. Very easy to use, I got a discount too. Daughter free.
Quiet outside areas, 2 disabled toilets available. Spread out areas, calming. Nice playarea. Different seating areas around the park.

Go around at your own pace. My eldest also autistic has been volunteering at the park.(part of her uni course) Staff have been helpful, kind and understanding when she has needed time out.

Plus checked she was OK before doing a task. I feel the park from my experience has a good understanding of autism.

---

Lovely day at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park. It's much bigger than when we last visited and you could comfortably spend 2-3 hours here with the various talks.
Packed full of parrots but there were also various other animals, including the four beautiful Bengal tigers.
The Max Card got both children in for free with the two of us adults being charged the concessionary rate

---

Great day out.
It has also recently expanded so more to do, little shop and charities type store in the park.

---

Fantastic offer for MaxCard. Children for free and adults at concession rate.
Staff on front desk knew immediately the offer with the MaxCard and processed without any explanation which makes it easy to use straight away.
Easy parking, lots to look at, mostly outdoors (so not too crowded or overwhelming) and a great day out.

---

My children and myself visited the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park for the first time.
We used our Max card and the children were free and my ticket was discounted. This was excellent value for money.
We used the restaurant too - food is simple eg. Hot dogs, burgers, jacket potatoes etc. My children had a hot dog each and advised they enjoyed - I had a vegan burger which was okay.
We also bought food for the birds and meerkats (4 bags for £7).

The toilet facilities were okay and baby change facilities available. There is also a changing places facility for those who require this facility.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day, and our highlight was feeding the parrots and other exotic birds - there is a couple of walk through areas where you can feed the birds and one landed on my son’s head which he found hilarious.
We shall definitely be visiting again soon.

---

Carer went free.
Substantial grounds with walks and play areas within various areas.

Disabled toilets, but can be far away dependent upon where you are in the grounds.

Free bird shows with tickets and highlight of children's holiday, seeing the birds fly. Seating areas have seating reserved for people with additional needs.

Can buy discounted tickets to other local attractions, such as Ratty Miniature Railway when purchasing ticket.

---

There is so much to do!

It's hands on so my VI son was able to access and understand the resources. Despite it being the summer school holidays it did not feel crowded.

We spent about two hours trying all of the activities multiple times. Even Grandad go involved!

---

Discount received, visually impaired loves the whole attraction, the interactive areas really help him feel involved.

The toilets are clean and accessible.
The staff interaction is brilliant and the resources are well thought out.

---

Myself, 20yr and 15yr daughters both autistic went to National train museum over Easter.
This was free.
The Wonderlab: The Bramall Gallery we used the max card. Myself and younger daughter were free, eldest daughter paid £7.20. Brilliant area, toilets clean, all accessible activities, well thought out. Definitely worth a visit.

---

Wonderlab inside the Yorkshire Railway Museum was a fabulous activity for the whole family.
Various science based concepts that the kids thoroughly enjoyed, including what I can only call a life sized marble run.
There were live science experiments being carried out regularly and various timed shows.
The max card gave us 50% entry so we paid £18 for the 4 of us. Great value for money activity.

---

Brilliant venue.
Very accessible.
Able to take your time around the areas.
Very helpful staff

---

Not sure if this is the correct name, but we asked our son where he wanted to go in Skegness and this was his choice.

For those who love nature this is a real treat.
Wheels chairs and pushchair friendly with low down view windows

---

We visited Normanby hall there is the splash park, a park, buildings to look round a museum and woods that have little streams in.
A cafe for those that want to eat out or you can take a picnic.

Max cards holders can visit for free as a family.
My children enjoyed the splash park and the woods.
In the museum they could colour in pictures downstairs and look around the museum upstairs.
There were disabled toilets and baby change plus ladies and gents which were clean.

---

We have used the Max Card on a few occasions, usually Normanby Hall and Whisby Nature Park.
It’s definitely helped us out by cutting the cost on some family days out - it’s a great opportunity provided by LPFC!

---

We had a Max Card from North Lincolnshire council and would like another we used it all summer every year at Normanby hall.

It has excellent workshops for children, summer fares and my son likes to walk the dogs and watch the deer.

---

We attended as a family on the Country Faye day and having the max card entitled us to all to free entry which meant we could afford to buy lunch and coffee at the event.

Well supported event, fantastic play area for the children for all ages, accessible toilets but they could do with some updating. Some of the locks on toilets were broken. Some new cabin toilets had also arrived which were under renovation.

Great amount of space to get away from the crowds and noise.

Would definitely recommend a trip over and will be visiting again.

---

A fabulous day out! Staff at the entrance gate were knowledgeable about the MAX card, and let us know how busy it was (it was actually a quiet day!)

The staff inside the museum area were very friendly, trying to engage the children with the activities they had set out (colouring and crafts.)

The site was clean and tidy, as was the toilets. Lovely play park area - will be visiting again this year!

---

Lovely day out plenty of walks, activities in the house, some nice views and sensory aspects in gardens.
Ice-cream on summers day.

---

My partner took my son to a trampoline Park in Nottingham last year whilst I took my daughter to her cheerleading competition

My partner was able to use the Max Card for discount.

---

Rang beforehand and spoke with manager.
He didn’t know of max card - potential new venue to add?
He was wonderful and helpful. When we arrived with my son we received a discount.

We have been many times previously (pre max card) and the staff have always been understanding, helpful and friendly.

---

We used our Max card, summer 2025 at pleasure beach which got my daughter an unlimited wristband at approx 1/3 off the usual price, costing around £19 in the end.

She did not need the toilet whilst we were there so I can't talk about the facilities.
But the staff knew what a MaX Card was and applied the discount no questions asked.

We had a lovely afternoon. The unlimited wristband avoided meltdowns and confusion.
She made a friend also on the spectrum whilst there and the inclusivity made a huge difference.

The discount enabled me as a carer to afford her a good day out as I've not been in paid employment since my daughters struggles.
As we know its a fulltime job! Thank you

---

We visited here on holiday and I didnt have any evidence such as DLA letter but they accepted my Max card as proof of disability and we got a carers discount and child's discount for my deaf son.

We all had great day, going on all the rides.

---

No longer accepted for the Max card

---

Miniature Railway, 45 minutes to an hour journey time. Can sit indoors, outdoors, or outdoors with a roof. Seats are bookable, to avoid stress of finding somewhere to sit. Trigger warning of sulphur smells with steam trains!

Carer went free. Cafes at each end station, parks at each end station, disabled toilets. Have to book train times on purchasing ticket, but staff extremely friendly and will help accommodate where possible.

---

A small museum housed in the old police station/prison building in Ripon. There is a Police Box (TARDIS) at the entrance which was a bonus.
Staff were very welcoming and 1 adult and 1 child were admitted for free on production of the Max Card.

There was a discovery trail for children and we could explore all the old prison cells. My son loved trying on the real uniforms and he found the exhibits very engaging.
It is a historic building and so naturally a little cramped and there is a first floor accessed via a stone staircase.
However, a modern lift has recently been installed to improve accessibility.

There is a small gift shop at the entrance with a nice range of reasonably-priced souvenirs.
We spent about 90 mins exploring the museum and combined it with a visit to the nearby Ripon Minster (free admission) which also had a fun children's discovery trail.

Lightwater Valley theme park (carers admitted free) is a short drive away.

---

10% discount obtained.

My daughters absolute favorite place to go, so much interaction with animals and never too busy.
Massive plus is the guinea pig handling.

Over the summer holidays and half term breaks they put on more activities such as feeding cows and pigs, donkey/horse handling.
Meet the African giant snails and rabbits.

---

Only had to pay for my daughter, I got in free.

---

I was able to use the MAX card as proof that I was a carer.
This is not listed on their website, so I was pleasantly surprised.
This was a saving of £15.50, children are free anyway.

There is a lovely park, with a variety of equipment, which is suitable for up to 12 years. The toilets are at the other end of the airplane hangers though.

There are quieter seating areas in the park, in the hangers and in the gardens. There are grass verges where you can sit and watch planes take off.

The cafe can get busy, but unless there is a special event on there is a larger room, still with seating but more room for children to move around. The hangers themselves are spacious and the museum offers free trails.

The sculpture gardens are beautiful, with paths suitable for pushchairs/wheelchairs. There are ponds and a lake to watch out for.

---

Great place.
Staff very helpful enjoyed the inside and outside areas.
Very accessible

---

Accessible venue, friendly and helpful staff and also has an outdoor dinosaur display.
The cafe is good, overlooking the boating lake and has soft play area too.
We enjoyed this and it was something that we were able to access as a family!

---

It was long time ago but we got 20% discount although we needed to ring day earlier and let them know that we coming and we will be using max card venue was very good.

---

We were able to take the family and grandkids for a day out at reduced costs.

---

Used it here the staff where lovely and very helpful as never used it before.

Money we saved was amazing, the staff also knocked off a little more due to the knowledge my son knew about the place lovely place to go when it's raining and can stay as long as u like

---

Carer went free.
Lovely, small museum. Like walking through the stories. Gentle scenes, but lights do change to show day/night. Can get crowded, especially on a rainy day. Have options on tickets, to include live show or not, which was beneficial to our family, as they would not tolerate the show.

Are disabled toilets, but all toilets have three in one sinks, where you are given soap, set time of water and hand drier. Can't avoid this even in the disabled toilets.

Distressed my sensory child who can't tolerate hand driers and upset my OCD child as they could not wash their hands for the amount of time they wanted to.

---

It was about a 2 hour drive from Lincoln to the Think Tank Science museum in Birmingham, but it was worth the visit.
There is parking at a multi storey and then a couple of minutes walk from there. We (2 adults, 1 child) got in free with the Max card and everyone was very helpful.

We spent 3 hours there, but they recommend up to 5 hours to see everything. We saw people there in wheelchairs and it all looked to be accessible with spaces to get through and lifts to each floor. There were toilets on each level too, I believe, including disabled toilets.

My son is autistic and he didn't like Level 2, so we didn't spend long on that floor. The ground floor (Level 0) is great for learning about the Industrial Revolution, James Watt and inventions and there are many old vehicles to see.

There's also a cafe on this level (about £12 for sandwiches, a latte, Coke and crisps) and one in the Mini Brum area (Level 3). Level 1 is all about making things - out of glass, wood, etching, etc. Level 3 is the place for little ones to go - Mini Brum is fab with play areas for doctors, beauty, building, canal boat, etc. Even though my son was older than the suggested age, he enjoyed it and no one minded him being the oldest child there at 13.

There are things to get stamped in Level 0 and my son enjoyed collecting them. We all had fun in those big card things you photograph where you put your faces through. There are so many fun interactive things, you'll find something to do for any age.

The outside science garden is fabulous, we spent about an hour there. You may get wet with the water play! Another tip, we arrived midday Sunday and were straight in, but when we cam out at 3pm, there was a long queue. There's a very big gift shop too, but it does include some cheaper souvenirs. My son got a small cuddly monkey for £7.

---

We (two adults and two children) visited 'Thinktank Science Museum' in Birmingham. We pre-booked online selecting the Max card option and presented the physical card and booking email when we arrived.

The venue has a great social story on their website, which we viewed before we went - this is always helpful for my children, who can feel anxious in new places. There is a quiet room available upon request (something we didn't use but was good to know of).

There's a useful map on their website, if you want to prioritise which part to visit first. It was not busy the day we went, possibly due to Lincoln and Birmingham having different October half term dates.

My children enjoyed the venue a lot, especially the outdoor science garden which is very hands-on and lots of fun. This venue was clean, accessible and had friendly staff.

The money we saved alleviated our concern, that we might pay a lot of money to visit and end up leaving abruptly should either of our children experience distress or overwhelm from the environment, noise, crowds etc.
A great place for fans of STEM and a positive experience in every way.

---

Not used the Max Card as never really understood how and where to use.

---

We have used the Max Card in a few places without any problems.

We do find that it is not well advertised and takes a bit of searching to find out whether it can be used - but love it when we can!

---

Lovely experience at Castle Museum.
Staff friendly.
Great day out.

---

Up to 4 family members can visit for free which is fantastic.

My son loved all the history and we spent a good couple of hours here.

Staff were very friendly and helpful and very aware of the Max Card but we didn’t ask for any SEN specific help on our visit.

---

I've used my Max card for a few venues, particularly in York.

Without the discounts given I wouldn't have been able to afford to take my children, so I'm really grateful.

Thank you all so much.
I would recommend everyone getting a Max Card.

---

Totally free for 2 adults and 2 children.
Great time had for approx 90mins/two hours. Two sections, the Victoria streets and 60s/York prison.
My two daughters really enjoyed the Victorian area, where there were various shops to view from the outside and some enter.

---

We were given free admission and the venue was fairly quite anyway so we didn't have to ask about quite areas.

---

We got free entry for a family of 4 to York Minster using our Max card saving £36.
This meant we could visit a venue that we weren't sure our sons would cope with and not have to worry about the cost.

The staff knew about Max card and happily passed us through without any problem.
We did have to queue outside, but we didn't need to ask for support with that on this visit, so chose not to.
There is ramp access.
The toilets are a long walk from the entry door.

The only issue we did have was a staff member asking what disability our assistance dog supports whilst we were stood in the queue with a number of other visitors within earshot.

I emailed to complain and they have since assured me all front of house staff will have updated training and their disability policy will be updated accordingly.

---

Myself, 20yr daughter and 15yr daughter, both autistic.
Spent a few days in York over Easter. Max card accepted easily and quickly at York Minster.

All three of us got in for free.

Very easy to use, staff available around the building, plenty of areas to sit in quiet (check service times). Very interesting in the lower part of the Minster.

---

The discount was great, free admission for the whole family. This means no stress about whether you might have to leave for any reason, and easy to re-enter. We just showed the card at the desk and could walk in. There isn't any information on York Minster's website about Max cards, which made us a little nervous, but we had no issues.
There are guided tours but these are optional, we chose to wander at our own pace. There is also an optional charge to climb the tower, again we didn't try this.

There are toilets, but no food or drink available.
Some parts are wide open and easily accessible, there are other parts like the crypt that are down stairs and more crowded, but there is accessibility information on the website to look at beforehand.

The Minster is beautiful to look at, in the undercroft there is also some information on renovations and the previous remains it was built on.

---

Took myself, my daughters 20yr and 15yr both autistic. Over Easter, used max card, so free entry for all 3 of us.

The garden is lovely to walk around but on a slope, lots of benches around to sit on outside. Inside there are quiet areas, lots of areas with activities spread over a couple of floors to join in with.

Staff around, relaxed atmosphere, calm areas to sit in younger children's quiet area with books. Calm museum to visit.
