Our bodies are incredible! But let’s face it, they can also be a bit yucky.

We can make all sorts of slime, mucus, mess and gas. But have you ever wondered why?

Discover why noses get snotty, why skin can become spotty and what happens to our food — from the first bite to its final exit.

Yucky You is packed full of fun facts and interactive explanations, guaranteed to make you go both WOW and EWW!

Location

Science Theatre

This is where we really bring science to life in front of your eyes.

Take a seat in our 90-person tiered auditorium, where our engaging presenter will show you some incredible experiments.

Depending on the show, they could involve ferocious fire, crazy chemicals, exciting explosions or ridiculous rocket launches!


Please note that we are able to accommodate 2 guests in wheelchairs per show.
