The Roald Dahl Children's Gallery — Attraction in England

This was a fantastic day out with my 8 year old son. I was pleasantly surprised by how much there was to do. We thoroughly enjoyed the science exhibition which housed lots of hands on experiments, suitable for all ages. There were large magnets, electrical conductivity, centrifugal force and many more to play with. There was a museum of Buckinghamshire history, which was small, but well put together showcasing a range of finds from the county. A darkened sensory room (probably better for littler ones). The Roald Dahl gallery was brilliant. My (autistic) son was a little freaked out by some of the noise machines and dark spaces in here, but overcame this once he interacted with the exhibits and realised it was a lot of fun! Outside the café was a seating area and they'd filled the garden with stuff for kids to do. Water play, sand, musical instruments, a giant marble run.

I could not be happier with our experience at The Roald Dahl Gallery! We had a little bit of trouble getting here as we don’t live near. When I rang the Roald Dahl Gallery and explained the situation (Sam) Was very polite and understanding on the phone and happily still showed us around when the gallery closed. I came here with a 6 year old boy (Wilf) who has autism and also non-verbal. The support they give him when we walked in was brilliant. They have sensory bags which provide sensory toys and headphones and more. The engagement and communication Sam gave to him was so lovely even if he didn’t get a response.

I really recommend this for anyone. Sam really made our day and showed a lot of loving and...

Celebrated a child's birthday party here recently. A great day with lots of happy kids coming out the other end. The party room was spacious and well arranged for 15-20 kids with parents too. Kitchen and dedicated toilets just around the corner, a little dated, but clean. A quick trip between the room (in the museum, many kids quite enjoyed the walk through) and the gallery and the magic really started. The kids absolutely loved it. Parents bemused that they never knew it existed and how great it was. Staff were lovely all round and very helpful throughout. An...
