- Exhibit Design
The London Children's Museum was designed with accessibility in mind. Eight exhibits extend over a single floor with clear pathways. A LULA lift provides access to the mezzanine. Most exhibits are fully accessible and include learning opportunities for every visitor. If you have any questions, please contact us.
- Quiet Rooms & Infant Care
The London Children's Museum has a quiet room and an infant care room available to visitors. These spaces are open to visitors who would benefit from a private space to care for their children, engage in prayer or meditation, or just take a moment to themselves.
- Sensory Friendly Evenings
Monthly Sensory Friendly Evenings offer children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), physical or cognitive disabilities, or sensory processing considerations, and their families with a quieter museum experience. With extremely limited attendance, Sensory Friendly Evenings turn down the noise, crowds, and stimulation of a typical day. Sensory Friendly Evening admission is free and registration is required.
Sensory Friendly Evenings are supported by the Sifton Family Foundation, as well as Dr. Robert and Joan Boyce in loving memory of their daughters Ann Marie and Holly Leigh Boyce.
- Adventure Backpack
Adventure backpacks are available to sign out at the London Children’s Museum’s front desk. This backpack includes noise-cancelling headphones, transition timers, a printed copy of our social story, and visual supports.
