Prepare for Brain Games 2018

We are delighted to announce the date of Brain Games 2018 has been set for Sunday 18 March 2018 from 11am-4pm (doors open to the public at 10am) at Cardiff Museum, on Park Place.

Neuroscience fun

From sensory illusions and inflatable Brain Domes to ghost hands and ‘DIY Brain Surgery’ workshops, this free interactive day showcases the power and mystery of our most vital organ – the human brain!

With more than 3,700 turning out for last year’s event, Brain Games is filled with fun and educational brain-related activities, featuring everything from Super Stem Cells to messy crafts and new additions such as a ‘Giant Genes’ building game.

Activities are pitched at children aged 7-11, but everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy taking on our challenges and your friends – you may even win neuro-themed prizes whilst learning about the wonders of your brain!
