Why not grab something in the area before your visit? Then you can learn and have fun without getting distracted by your rumbling tummies!
Why not have a birthday party at the museum! You can book a combination of the musuem, a movie, and a fun science class - and of course a party room!

Give them a call to check the accessibility of the exhibits if you have any questions!
