    Sensory Bags allow children to explore, discover, imagine, create, and learn while engaging many of their senses.

    These are available to loan from the main ticketing desk upon arrival for SEN/SEND children and visitors who may need to take time out from the full experience of the National Space Centre and the exhibitions. 

    Please return the bags after use so we can continue to offer this to other visitors who need them.
