Join us this February half term for a sense-sational programme of free hands-on family fun inspired by our brand-new blockbuster exhibition, Operation Ouch! Brains, Bogies and You.
Discover the spectacular superpowers of animals in our lively new science show Wild Senses. From bees to bats, see how curious creatures use their incredible senses to survive and thrive in our world.
Learn more about how some of our favourite furry friends explore the world. Put your own senses to the test and see if you can sniff out the fun like a dog in our sensory trail.
Join our expert Explainers at our Tasting Station and discover how bees taste and smell. Hang out in our Bat Cave and learn more about these nocturnal creatures, and get crafty and make your own bat to take home.
