Join us at the Science and Industry Museum for a family-friendly session in their “Operation Ouch! Brains, Bogies and You” interactive exhibition.
“Journey through an ear canal covered in gooey wax, squeeze past sticky snot and plunge headfirst into the incredible world of our senses. … From sight to sound, mini medics and curious kids can get stuck in to sense-sational science through interactive games, challenges and fun facts guided by videos and illustrations of Operation Ouch! hosts Dr Chris, Dr Xand and Dr Ronx.”
Entry to the exhibition will be between 2pm and 2:30pm, and you can stay for as long as you like once inside. Please arrive between 1:45 to 2:15 pm to sign in with our team before entry.
Please note that paying members of the public may also have access to the exhibition during our stay.
Siblings without SEND are also welcome to join.
Please note that you’re responsible for your own children’s safety during the session.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must remain responsible for your family’s safety and well-being during the event. Please ensure that your children are supervised by a responsible adult at all times during the day.
