Hi, Probably about 15 to get from the platform to the concourse and about 5 to get to the main exit to street level. The Natural History is AMAZING and well worth visiting. Have a great time.

Sorry, I ate at the museum.

We spent about 2hrs going around when it was bust and saw everything we wanted but some people may want to spend a bit longer on some exhibits.

Yes there is

Nothing was closed on 3rd Nov 21

Just to confirm it is fully accessible, with a lot of lifts. The vast majority of the flooring is accessible / smooth, totally stepfree inside too. They also lend wheelchairs (cloakroom).

Yes it is- its very quick and it tries to mimic what a store would feel like during the earthquake- but its obviously going to be a pale version of what it was really like. Still, an interesting experience for someone who has never been in one ( but I have been in two real ones and believe me its a lot different than the simulator feels.)

Yes, you can take in a DSLR camera and you will most definitely need a camera if you visit. Due to COVID-19 I have a feeling that the museum will not be open although I would seek advice on this online. I am unsure about lockers if I am honest, I usually go with a backpack or a bag which is searched on entry but I never have thought to store it.

Thank you so much, it was my son who asked :-)! I was very amused when I saw the communication.
