All the time

Our popular Sensory Room is a quiet space to play and explore with sensory toys, projections and lights. Take a pause as your little one enjoys fibre optics, a bubble tube, a light table with coloured shapes and a projector. We also have engaging light-up orbs and cubes, large soft shapes, wipe-able matting and a sofa to rest and relax on.

In our Front Room (Ground Floor) we have highchairs, free squash/water and heating facilities for milk/babyfood. With no pressure to leave, this is an informal relaxed space looking out onto the quayside where you and your family can sit and pause during your visit to Baltic. There’s also free tea/coffee for the parents/carers/guardians.
