Amazing Backyard Adventures is a family-friendly exhibition designed to encourage budding young scientists to 'see the unseen' in the natural world found right outside their door!.
Take a journey inside a magnified backyard lawn and find out how it feels to be smaller than a blade of grass. Use special lenses to take a look at the backyard through the eyes of a dog or jump on board the flying bee for a bees' eye view of the garden.
Or delve into the mechanics of the swing, slide and see-saw before exploring the 'frog eat insect' world of the interactive pond.
This hands-on exhibition is suitable for families particularly with children 8-12 years.
