Miniature Worlds
Experience the world as an explorer one centimetre tall.
Miniature Worlds lets you experience everyday places from the incredible perspective of an explorer just one centimetre tall. Explore towering forests of grass, ride drifting dandelion seeds through the sky, stand beside a giant butterfly, watch a robin bathe in an enormous bird bath, and feel the power of a lawn mower passing safely overhead. Along the way, discover fascinating facts about plants, insects, birds and the natural world — how bees pollinate flowers, why spider webs are engineering masterpieces, how seeds travel on the wind, and how tiny ecosystems support life in your own garden. Combining science, nature and imagination, it is an immersive reminder that sometimes the biggest discoveries are found in the smallest places.

A few things to look out for as you explore Miniature Worlds.
Bees pollinate around three quarters of the crops we eat — a single bee can visit thousands of flowers in one day.
Weight for weight, spider silk is stronger than steel, making webs true engineering masterpieces.
Dandelion seeds create a ring of swirling air above their parachutes that lets them drift huge distances on the wind.
