Do you know that in one day your heart will pump all your blood around your body about 1000 times, or that every 30 days your body produces a totally new outer layer of skin? Answers to these questions and more are revealed in Body in Action.

Experience the human body like never before – crawl through the nasal passage and see how well your lungs perform, or slide down the oesophagus, venture through guts and learn what happens at the other end! Blood, skin, and bones are explained, muscles are put to the test and senses are challenged.

This entertaining and educational family exhibition explores the way our bodies work in colourful and exciting ways. As part of this exciting journey of exploration, Body in Action also provides puzzles and problems to solve.

Guaranteed entertainment for the whole family, Body in Action offers an amazing journey of discovery through the human body and is a must-see this winter. Birthday party packages available - imagine the fun!
