We turned up to the American Museum with no idea of what we'd find and we were all truly impressed (including our autistic boys). The whole site is around 125 acres, and features an arboretum, children garden and play space (big thumbs up from the boys for the rope swing!), a kitchen garden, bamboo forest, spectacular viewing points and a woodland walk.

For a family friendly weekend that's also accessible for autistic/adhd children the city of Bath is a fun and rewarding choice.
