Conduct a review with guidance for exits at attractions to skip gift shops — 9 signatures. Status: open.
We want the UK Government to commission a review and publish national best practice guidance, encouraging visitor attractions – where physically feasible – to provide an alternative exit route so families don’t have to go through gift shops to leave.
Many families enjoy a day out at visitor attractions yet are often forced through gift shops on the only exit route. This can pressure parents – especially those on low incomes or with neurodivergent children – when kids ask for things they cannot afford and become upset; it spoils the end of a lovely day. We believe families deserve a choice – this is NOT about banning gift shops, just asking for an alternative exit where feasible, helping those with sensory overload or who need to leave quickly.
