With a lot of emphasis on human emphasis this place jas made a good effort through real like human models. Must have invested a lot but Its not really for children

It was a great experience, I was a little concerned it may be a bit like a freak show but not at all, very informative and interesting. The whole theme of health and happiness was also nicely done, not too cheesy and it was uplifting. Also thank you to the staff for being really helpful in sorting us out after I made a mistake with the ticket booking.

I saw this exhibit in Las Vegas a few years back and it was fantastic. I expected this one to be “more” being that it was a permanent display. I found it much smaller than expected.

Super interesting museum! Welcoming staff! Truly an experience to have for those interested in the human body. The visit was made with my nurse cousin and myself; we enjoyed it and spent 2 hours and 15 minutes inside. I highly recommend it++++

Both of the gents at the ticket office were so kind and lovely, we visited from 12pm on 10/06/2026 and they were so welcoming. The exhibits were beautiful and lots of fun, sad there’s not a wee sciencey gift shop as I’d have nerded out!
Dear guest, Thank you for the amazing review. We are really happy to hear our team at the ticket office made you feel so welcome and that you enjoyed the Body Worlds exhibition. It’s great that you had fun exploring the displays during your visit. Kind regards
When we first entered the place seemed small and feared I would be disappointed but this was quickly dispelled. When these real human bodies were originally displayed there was some controversy that it took away human dignity. I found it gave a wonderful insight into the working of the human body and the things diseases did to your body. The process of preserving is fascinating. A great insight into the workings of the human body.
