How long should I allow?

A typical visit is 1 hour 30 minutes.

Is it suitable for children?

A good family option when the pace is kept flexible. Allow breaks and supervise children closely around water, traffic, walls or crowded areas.

Main public areas are generally on paved or maintained surfaces, but kerbs, crowds, gradients and individual venues may still create barriers. Confirm specific step-free needs locally.
