With Easter weekend just around the corner the holidays are well underway for many families<\/a> across Greater Manchester.<\/p>\n But with two weeks off school, it can be tricky keeping the kids entertained. It\u2019s particularly challenging now that the weather has turned with the Met Office forecasting rain and cloud for the week ahead.<\/p>\n Luckily there\u2019s lots of things you can do across Greater Manchester that don\u2019t rely on the weather<\/a>, including fascinating museums, shows and workshops.<\/p>\n Museums are a great option when it comes to keeping kids occupied while encouraging them to learn new things and Manchester has lots to choose from, including one with a new exhibition.<\/p>\n This Easter<\/a> the Science and Industry Museum is taking a deep dive into our bodies\u2019 senses at Operation Ouch! Brains, Bogies and You exhibition.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the second collaboration with the popular BBC show, having launched in February. It follows the last exhibition which was about \u2018Food, Poo and You\u2019 and promises to be just as interactive.<\/p>\n Kids can journey through an ear canal covered in gooey wax and poke around inside a giant eyeball. They can even be sneezed out of a giant nose – the exhibition may not be about poo this time, but kids will certainly love the more \u2018gross\u2019 elements.<\/p>\n The BBC show\u2019s presenters Dr Xand and Dr Ronx will serve as virtual hosts throughout the exhibition.<\/p>\n Children can even explore inside Dr Chris\u2019s brain, discovering how the senses work.<\/p>\n The exhibition includes a \u2018smell library\u2019 where you can sniff at different smells and compete with families and friends to identify them.<\/p>\n There\u2019s the chance to see some fascinating objects from the museum\u2019s collection, including a brain scanning \u2018Jedi\u2019 helmet worn by children over 40 years ago and coins that were touched by Henry VIII and given to sick people, believed to be a cure.<\/p>\n Tickets are priced at \u00a310, with children three and under going free. To find out more and book your tickets, visit the website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Alongside the exhibition, the museum is running free activities inspired by the theme of senses. This includes seeing how animals use their senses to \u2018survive and thrive\u2019 through interactive trails and workshops.<\/p>\n The Power Up exhibition is still running, which features more than 100 games consoles spanning 50 years, including classics like Pac-Man to modern virtual reality games.<\/p>\n A day pass costs \u00a38, or you can get an annual pass for \u00a315, giving access to the experience for a whole year.
