Relaxed Opening Hours Day at Dynamic Earth


Edinburgh’s Science Centre and Planetarium is offering visitors an extraordinary opportunity to explore the wonders of our planet in a calm, sensory-friendly setting. 

 

Dynamic Earth’s Relaxed Opening Hours Day on Wednesday (November 6) will provide an inclusive environment for all visitors. Designed for those who would benefit from a more relaxed visit such as those with Additional Support Needs (ASN), but open to everyone. 

 

The sessions prioritise sensory comfort through sensory adjustments without compromising on the overall Dynamic Earth experience. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or solo, Relaxed Opening Hours Day will create a welcoming space for everyone to experience the wonder of Dynamic Earth.

 

Dynamic Earth’s approach encourages visitors to learn and explore at their own pace, giving everyone the chance to fully enjoy everything this world-class science centre and planetarium has to offer with:

 

· Reduced Visitor Numbers Throughout the Day: Allowing for a quieter, more comfortable experience across all exhibitions.

· Altered Lighting and Audio Features: Adjusted lighting and sound create a softer environment throughout the attraction, from our entrance to exhibitions.

· Trained Staff in Disability and Neurodiversity Awareness: Dynamic Earth’s team is equipped to support and assist all visitors, ensuring a respectful and supportive experience.

· Subtitles on All Videos & BSL Interpretation: All videos include subtitles, and the 3 pm planetarium show will feature British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation for enhanced accessibility.

· A Wide Range of Sensory Aids: Sensory bags, social stories, and sensory maps are available to guide and enhance each visitor’s experience. 

· Flexible Admission: Enjoy the freedom to visit Dynamic Earth’s tour and planetarium at a relaxed pace, allowing visitors to choose their best experience.

· Designated Quiet Space: A dedicated area is available for visitors to recharge during their visit.

 

In addition to the November date, Dynamic Earth will host another Relaxed Opening Hours Day on 24th January.
