Most areas within the Museum (including some toilets) have wheel chair access, and lifts and ramps connect all floors. One toilet in the Museum is equipped with an adult changing table.
Our Air Raid Shelter has wheelchair access. Our Evacuation carriage can be fitted with a ramp for standard, manual wheel chairs but we apologise that this Victorian carriage does not have a wide enough turning circle for motorised wheel chairs. (At the present time both these areas are out of use).
We also apologise that wheel chair access to the footplate and tender of Caerphilly Castle Locomotive during We’ll Meet Again is not possible. Alternative interactive activities will be provided.
Please always make us aware of any wheelchair users at the time of booking or before the day of your visit, as arrangements need to be made in advance for Evacuation Experience and aspects of We’ll Meet Again.
Yes. There is always a first aider on site when STEAM is open to the public.
