Red Kite Days Review
I parked at media city multi story car park and arrived ahead of our slot. They are half hour slots. The main room is on a loop of around 60 minutes so my advice would be to arrive maybe half way through the slot and then it will get less busy and you can stay for the whole loop.
There is the sunflower room you can walk in and out of as many times as you wish and the drawing class at the end was fun for all ages.
Plenty of restaurants to choose from before or after.
My son is 11 and he tolerated the hour and he loves art so this is probably suited to children no younger than 10 at a push if you planned on staying for the whole hour. There are benches in the hall.
