Autism-friendly Day Out With Thomas

We recommend visitors with sensory processing differences use the time between 9.00am and 10.30am to enjoy the activities within the museum grounds when crowds and queuing are at their lowest.

These activities include visiting Thomas’s cab, mini train rides, jumping castles, Imagination Station and face painting.

Parents and carers of children and visitors with autism or with sensory processing differences can enjoy:

Option to wear a badge to help event staff recognise when extra assistance may be required.
A quiet space in a less busy and less noisy area of the museum grounds.
Additional resources such as a social story and day planner will be sent to registered guests prior to the event to help you prepare and plan for your Day Out With Thomas.

Additional support is provided on Friday 19 May:

All sounds turned off inside the museum between 9.00am and 10.30am.
Ability to request a quiet space inside the train during your train ride with Donald (please contact us with your booking details so we can ensure you're allocated accordingly).
