Under 6's at Explore

These are some of the exhibits we think children under six will particularly enjoy.

Throughout Explore there are blue footstools for children to use. Explainers in purple shirts are available on the floor to answer any questions during your visit.

Explore is divided into four zones over two floors.

Ground floor

Your amazing brain is on the left-hand side of the ground floor as you enter Explore.

Jumping skeleton
This exhibit is near the entrance of Explore. Make the skeleton move by poking his brain.

Tunnel of senses
The Tunnel of senses contains activities specially designed for children under six.

Smell-o-film
This exhibit is in a booth near the window. The film shows the journey of a fly with "smell horns" allowing you to smell the fly’s journey. Can you guess what each smell is?

Feel my tummy
This exhibit is near the babies at the back of Explore. Stand on the coloured square and put your hand on the dummy mummy’s tummy. What can you feel?

Before birth
Life size models from one month to nine months gestation for children to hold

Move it is on the right hand side of the ground floor as you enter Explore.

Waterworks
Lots of watery activities - from locks and boats, to a giant hamster wheel to lift water.

Bernoulli Blower
Children can play with a floating beach ball.

Arch bridge
Near the back of Move it there are two arch bridges for children to build together.
