Science Mall, Floor 3

Floor 3 is home to two exciting new additions- MindWorks and Alice in Wonderland!

Magic meets science in the ‘MindWorks’ zone where you will find mind-benders of all sorts like the Vortex tunnel, Ames Room and the Phantom Hand! Take a walk through the Vortex Tunnel and experience what affects your balance - guaranteed to get you in a spin. Visit the Ames Room and instantly transform into a towering giant or little person. This optical illusion, which has been used in films like the Lord of The Rings Trilogy, is created through a trick of perspective in a distorted room. The Phantom Hand is a very striking illusion as you become convinced that you can feel a rubber hand being touched just as if it were your own.

Fall down the rabbit hole and enter our new fantastical exhibition- Alice in Wonderland. Is seeing really believing? How do our brains make sense of the world around us? Curiouser and curiouser!

As part of our 10th anniversary we are bringing back the award winning Alice in Wonderland exhibition! Youngsters can explore the science of illusion through the wonderland of Lewis Carroll’s classic book.

Enjoy the Hall of Doors, scramble through the Rabbit Hole, see the pool of tears, have a tea party and lots more!
