Ele the Elephant uses a hearing aid to help them experience all the amazing sounds around us, while Wise Eyes the Owl’s glasses allow them to see the colours and shapes that make up our day.
Join our FeelGood Friends as they help your little ones explore the senses of sight, touch, taste, hearing and smell through stories, songs and games.
Sessions will take place on set Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the holidays at 10am. They are free to attend for anyone with a full museum ticket though due to the nature of the event capacity is extremely limited and booking is recommended.
To keep everyone safe, these sessions and our Sparks! play area are only available for children younger than 5 years old. Please note a full museum ticket is required to access this experience (Sparks! only tickets are not valid). Follow the link to book your museum ticket and add this free workshop to your basket as part of the checkout process to secure your place.

Access to the museum
We want everyone to enjoy the museum. It is fully wheelchair and buggy accessible, entry is free for essential companions, and we welcome assistance dogs (and our team are more than happy to arrange a bowl of water for hard-working thirsty dogs – please just ask).
The museum offers quiet openings on the last Sunday of each month from 10am–11am when the lights will be up and the sounds down. You can download a copy of our gallery map, which includes some sensory information and other details here.
You can find more accessibility information by visiting our guide hosted on
Visit Britain’s website.
