Interactive gallery inside Buckinghamshire County Museum featuring hands-on science exhibits inspired by Roald Dahl stories. Open weekends and school holidays. Sensory bags available and staff widely praised for exceptional additional-needs support.
π Funzaroo Verdict
Best for Dahl fans aged 4-12 and families with children who have additional needs - the staff support here is genuinely exceptional. The gallery itself takes around 30 minutes, so pair it with the adjoining history museum and playroom for a full outing. Pay at the door, no advance booking required.

βOur little boy is currently obsessed with Roald Dahl and absolutely loved this interactive museum experience. Its not large and we were only in the Roald Dahl section for about 30mins but the adjoining history museum and cafe was great too.β

βI could not be happier with our experience at The Roald Dahl Gallery! We had a little bit of trouble getting here as we donβt 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 didnβt get a response. Sam Chose to stay behind to show Wilf around ,let alone he didnβt have to as it was closing time. I couldnβt be more happier with the experience we had and how lovely staff are here. I really recommend this for anyone. Sam really made our day and showed a lot of loving and support. Thank you Sam!!β

βVisited with young family. Lovely welcome from informative and pleasant staff. Roald Dahl museum was lovely with loads of hands on and interesting things for children to investigate. We paid at the door. Went on to the museum which is situated in the same area but a different building. Lots of interesting information. There was a Star Wars Exhibition, Children's dressing up, a lovely embroidery exhibition, some interactive exhibitions and a lovely playroom for the children, full of toys to play with and explore. Very enjoyable .β
