A hands-on, larger-than-life journey through the wonders of the human body
Step inside a giant ear, dodge sticky snot, and venture into the brain in this interactive, family-friendly exhibition. Inspired by the hit TV series Operation Ouch!, go on an unforgettable journey through the senses. Mini medics can explore touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste through hands-on challenges and games.
Highlights include a giant eyeball to poke, a smell library to test your nose, and a nerve signal chain reaction. Hosted by Dr Chris, Dr Xand, and Dr Ronx, it’s a fun-filled dive into human biology.

This means that there is a lot of scaffolding and areas that may be closed, including the Power Hall and the 1830 Station and Warehouse, but there is still plenty to enjoy on your visit, from permanent galleries to temporary exhibitions and holiday activities.
