11am  Start making sense

We all know about the 5 senses, right? But what about some of the other senses? Explore our senses including some you might not have thought of, and think about how our brain makes sense of them.

Nerve cells, or neurons, are the basic units of the nervous system. The human body contains billions of neurons the brain alone has more than 86 billion. neurons make up the brain alone. To understand a bit more about how neurons work, we’re going to make a model of one!

Children must be accompanied by a parent or carer at all times. Most suitable for children aged 7-11 years.  Younger siblings will be able to join in with some adult support.

You will find us on the First Floor. You can take either the lift or the stairs!
