Doze under Dippy Review

"Me and my son attended the 'doze under dippy' sleepover at the museum. I had seen it advertised for a while and had the opportunity to attend and I am so glad that I did. It truly is such a unique and magical experience and the staff really do go above and beyond to make it all special for the children. The staff could not have been any more accommodating, you could see how passionate they were about offering good hospitality and it really showed. We got to see some really interesing parts of the building that usually we wouldn't, and there are lots of different activities. Highly recommend and thank you so much." - Mia, Google Review
