In the Me And My Body gallery, Scoot the robot will help you discover how your body and your senses work. Step inside a giant mouth to find the wobbly tooth, play pinball digestion and learn how joints and muscles work by riding the skeleton bike!

In the Living and Working Together gallery, you can visit the Town Square. Here you can take out money from the Eureka! Bank, do the week’s shopping at the mini Marks & Spencer shop and help deliver the letters and parcels from the Post Office. You can even fill up the car with petrol at the petrol station!

There’s also Our Global Garden which introduces children to nature. It’s home to Gordon The Garden Gnome who stars in his own cartoon series on BBC TV’s Cbeebies.

And especially for the under fives, there’s a giant sensory sound gallery and Desert Discovery, a magical desert themed experience.
