What do a giraffe, a frog, a shark and a robin have in common? They all have a skeleton. More than that, they all have a backbone: they're vertebrates. Visit the Museum of Zoology for a day of free hands-on activities inspired by skeletons. Explore our temporary exhibition 'Growing a Backbone: The Rise of the Vertebrates'. Follow our skeleton trail to take a closer look at the amazing animals on display. Handle real bones and see what they're made of. Play with puzzles and stories, and find out how skeletons grow. PLUS make your very own 'Book of Spines'
Free. No need to book.
Butterfly has lost her eggs and needs your help to work out where she’s left them.

You might even be rewarded with an egg of your own at the end!
Self-led trail. Children must be accompanied at all times. Standard Garden admission applies for adults.
