Discover the wonders of science through your senses with over 80 hands-on interactive exhibits. Whether you are a child or just a child at heart, Sensation has something for everyone. With friendly explainer staff on hand to help you get the most from the centre, Sensation is a real experience for the whole family.
See our live science shows including the amazing Science-On-the-Spot demonstrations, which show how everyday household ingredients can be used to amazing effect. Budding surgeons can even try their hand at keyhole surgery.
Journey into the future as you meet the robots of Roborealm and learn how robots use sensors to interpret their environment. Then step into the Mindball Arena to experience the future of cybernetics for yourself. Mindball is a two-player challenge, where competitors sit opposite each other and compete to move a ball using nothing but their brain waves.
After spending time exploring the many exhibits throughout the centre, you will no doubt have worked up a healthy appetite. You can enjoy a snack and some much needed refreshment in our award-winning Infusion Cafe, which Proudly Brews Starbucks Coffee. Light lunches and healthy options are available.
With so much to see at Sensation make sure you allow around three hours for a visit!
