Days out for children with additional needs and disabilities When a child has special needs or disabilities it can make certain activities more challenging and not always suitable. We’ve pulled together this round-up of SEND (Special Educational Needs & Disabilities) days out to help you find something suitable for your family. If you have any ideas to add email wolverhampton@raring2go.co.uk Hollybush Garden Centre & Aquaria Bee Wild Soft Play runs regular SEN sessions every month offering a gentle environment with reduced capacity, no loud music and a warm welcome from the team. Look out for new returnable SEN boxes to accompany your visit to the garden centre & aquaria to be launched soon. www.hollybush-garden.com Wild Zoological Park Many of Wild’s animal encounters and educational shows can be tailored to suit guests with varying sensory, mobility, or communication requirements.
