Nina's Science Lab
The Neurons had a host of fun experiments to help guests discover their senses in Nina's Science Lab at Alton Towers.
The lab was full of contraptions and gizmos that put your senses to the test, as the Neurons guide you through weird and wacky experiments for all the family. Whether discovering the lab's plasma ball, tickling your taste buds or even putting in a long distance call without a phone, Nina's Science Lab was a treat for all your senses
Nina welcomed guests to her lab via conference call, after which guests could roam through the five areas, each dedicated to a different sense. In each area, one of the Neurons guided guests through a series of simple and fun experiments to teach fun facts about the human body as you put each sense to the test.
Attraction History
An opening day attraction of CBeebies Land, Nina's Science Lab took over the former Education Centre at the entrance of Old MacDonald's Farmyard.
An Education Centre had operated here since the early 90s, though the facility only rarely opened up to the general public (such as during special events, such as Scarefest). With the arrival of Nina's Science Lab, this was the first time the facility was consistently open to the public, though it likely still served educational groups during school term time, as part of the park's educational commitments.
Nina's Science Lab opened for the final time in 2018. After this the facility was standing but not operating for many years until 2024, when it was transformed into a Sensory Space, to improve the accessibility of CBeebies Land.
