Helpful Family Tips:
There are baby changing facilities in our toilets on site. Please ask a member of staff for directions to the nearest facilities.
Pushchairs cannot access all buildings, so you might want to bring a baby carrier. To go underground children need to be able to walk independently.
Pssst. Don't forget the dog!
Dogs are welcome across the entire museum site and The Count House Café, with the exception of the underground mine.
We provide drinking water for them at various places across the site. And with the South West Coast Path running right through our site, there is plenty of walking, sniffing and tail wagging to be done.
Assistance dogs are welcome across the whole site without exception.
