Editor’s verdict
A useful option for intergenerational inclusive play with sensory elements in the museum grounds. The main reason to choose it is a rare all-ages, all-abilities playground that fits naturally into a museum visit, while the main planning caveat is outdoor location means midday heat and rain can shorten play even though the museum itself is nearby.
