Bodies
Ever walked through a pair of lungs, or seen a supersize brain? What would happen if you turned a body inside out? (spoiler: it’s messy). Your body is unique, one of a kind – test it, embellish it, look after it.
Gallery highlights:
• Can you beat our giant brain games?
• Are you Yeh / Meh / Nah?
• Do you dare open the Fear Door?
• What's your personal best?
• Do you Move right, Sleep right, Eat right, Think right, Train right?
Check out the Innovation Lab for insights into the super tech that helps us look after ourselves

Homes
Think differently about the everyday! What is it for, why is it made like that, how does it work, would I do it differently? What makes a home, and what makes your home yours?
Don't miss:
• Enter by the door or through the cat flap!
• Dial it up, or turn it down on our giant smartphone energy app
• Engineer a staircase to a spaceship or across a sea of lava
• Be a bathroom DJ and design your own toothpaste!
Plus lots more...
Nature
What does our environment teach us about ourselves, our purpose, and our connections to each other? Can nature inspire new ways of living and provide solutions to the big challenges we all face?
Make sure you:
• Hug our heartbeat trees
• Power up a turbine; energise a seagull
• Check out who eats who?!
• Get up close and personal in the Nature Den
• Climb the giant tree
Explore the Inventors Shed and discover amazing stuff inspired by nature
