Senses!

From 05 Oct 2011 to 01 Sep 2012

6 October - 2 September. This family-friendly interactive exhibition is aimed at children aged from six years, with special activities for pre-school kids aged from three upwards.

The sensory experience focuses on human and animal senses, and visitors will find that human senses, compared to those of animals, are quite limited.

The 40 sensory experiments include discovering how many frequencies you can hear and if you can recognise different odours.

Some of the questions that guests will be asked include: How well can you use UV light to find nectar like a bee, and can you match chimpanzees in finding the right berries, regardless of whether the light is good or bad?
