Join us for a self guided tour of The MAD Museum. This offers a captivating and multi-sensory experience that aims to inspire our visitors through the marvels and examination of intriguing inventions. From flying mechanical birds to clever clocks and witty characters, they can watch, interact, and be inspired by the mechanical creations on display. They can also engage in activities such as building marble runs and learning about engineering and physics principles.
It’s fun, it’s quirky and very interactive!

Accessibility at the entrance:
The MAD Museum’s entrance is well lit and there are no steps in this area. Visitors can either use the staircase or utilize the lift to access the museum.
The lift can be found at the far wall of the museum’s entrance (white lift door with a silver, pull handle). The lift carries one wheelchair user/ push chair at a time. There is a clear audio announcement in the lift and the buttons are labelled with braille text.
The lift will bring the user out into the museum’s shop and reception area.
Accesibility throughout the museum:
Visitors enter the museum on the left of the reception desk and exit through the gate on the right (facing the desk).
The museum is situated entirely on one floor, no ramps or steps are present in the museum.
Everyone can move through the museum at their own pace and spend as long as they wish in any particular area.
The Museums environment:
There is a good contrast between the floor (light grey) and walls (navy blue) in the museum. Clear surfaces such as glass and plastic casing have contrasting markings on them. Clear signage (colour contrasted, large lettering and pictograms) are used throughout the attraction.
No natural light is present, spot lights illuminate everything throughout the museum.
There are several seats dotted around the museum at appropriate intervals and the museum’s cinema room also has seating
