Whilst even in 2025, there is a long way to go when it comes to accessibility at UK attractions, real progress has been made. Perhaps as importantly, the internet makes finding accessible attractions easier than ever before. Scope’s website has a brilliant section dedicated to helping those with disabilities find suitable days out. Here, Lifestyle & Mobility present 3 of our top 10 picks, for various tastes and needs.

For Family Fun – Paultons Park

Tourism for All highly recommends Paultons Park in Hampshire as a good choice for family days out. One reason for this is that all areas are accessible to disabled users. Nearly all paths there are flat and tarmac-surfaced – particularly useful for more lightweight powered mobility vehicles, if one or more family members uses those. Additionally, multiple rides include specifically adapted sections for wheelchair users; and there is substantial provision of disabled toilets.

For Dinosaur Lovers – Lapworth Museum of Geology

There’s a lot of dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages around, but, being in Central London, the Natural History Museum can be quite crowded both inside and out. Thanks to AccessAble, we’ve found a great alternative suggestion. Also, it’s a good option for those living further from the capital. Fully disability-accessible, Birmingham’s Lapworth Museum of Geology has some impressive dinosaur fossils of its own, and much more besides.

Want to get an idea of what to expect on a visit to Lapworth? Then check out the impressive Allosaurus fossil in the image to the left. For an accessible and educational day out in the West Midlands, it gets the seal of approval from Lifestyle & Mobility for sure!

For the Arts – LEVEL Centre

Nestled away in the scenic Derbyshire countryside, LEVEL is a unique treasure

It was purpose-built in 2008 as an accessible creative space. Open all year, LEVEL offers an extensive programme of visual art exhibitions, interactive digital installations and creative events. These events are suitable for all ages. Much of the work on display at the centre has been produced by or with disabled artists.

As you would expect, LEVEL is extensively equipped to meet the needs of disabled visitors. Key features include level access throughout multiple disabled parking spaces, a mobile hoist, hearing loop, designated quiet space and disability accessible toilets (plus a disabled shower facility). Essential carers get free entry. Though, as mentioned, most of what’s on at LEVEL is free to visit.
