FAQs
A typical school visit lasts at least two hours, giving students plenty of time to explore the experience at their own pace. Visitors are welcome to go around as many times as they like and are free to stay until we close our doors.
The experience is non-linear, so no one journey has to be the same, which is the beauty of the experience; a true self-exploration of an alternate world.
We do however recognise this is sometimes tricky when trying to organise large groups and have accessibility maps available to help determine meeting points.
There are no limitations to the size of group, other than we allow up to 70 people into the experience per 30 minutes to manage the flow effectively, so if your party is larger than this we would have to stagger your entry.
We offer a number of free places for accompanying adult, that apply to both school and home ed groups. See the ratio split below.
- Nursery and EYFS: 1 Adult to every 3 children
- KS1 (Years 1 to 2): 1 Adult to every 6 children
- KS2 (Years 3):1 Adult to every 6 children
- KS2 (Years 4-6): 1 Adult to every 10-15 children
- KS3-KS5 (Years 7 to 13): 1 Adult to every 15-20 children
- 1 to 1 assistants: Free
- Additional Accompanying Adults: £9.75 ex.VAT
