NSC Tourist Information.

[BadFish]

two weeks until me and my boy (7) come over for a few weeks. As some of you know he has Aspergers and we have had a whole lot of trouble with him refusing to come and getting anxious and upset by the mere mention of our trip.

The good news is that over this weekend he has opened his mind to the idea and becoming very excited about certain aspects of the trip. Mainly the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum, The Tower of London, Stone Henge and seeing The Albion. We leave on New Years Eve and I am keen to keep the excitement going until then.

So I am turning to NSC for ideas of things to do and see in Brighton and London (maybe a little further afield) that I can keep up his enthusiasm with.

Loves dinosaurs and most animals, very interested in the history of England, i think the age of everything is going to blow his mind!

Nothing too gory or scary.

Castles: Hever, Bodium, but not Arundel IMHO.

The British Museum is awesome too.

Newhaven Fort-

Edit: Forget it, i didnt know it closed for winter

Castles - suggest Leeds or Bodiam as nearest that are good - you could combine Bodiam with Battle and 1066 etc

Most of it was built in the 19th century except the central keep; it's all done up like a theme park and it's £25 to get in.

Having said that, I see people on tripadvisor rave about it so i guess whatever floats your boat.
