Touch, listen, explore secrets of human body in Darabad of Tehran
Among the tourist attractions in Tehran, there is a fascinating scientific museum known as Human Park, located in the Darabad neighborhood.
Human Park holds the distinction of being the largest of its kind in the Middle East. It provides visitors with an immersive glimpse inside the human body. Each section of the body, along with the exhibits they contain, has been carefully designed under the supervision of experts in the field. It appears that this park drew inspiration from a similar concept established in the Netherlands.
The entire park is ingeniously shaped to resemble parts of the human body. Upon entering, visitors pass through the mouth, and from there, all the internal organs are displayed sequentially. The exit is designed to represent the end of the intestines, creating an experience akin to being swallowed by a giant human. This imaginative layout offers an excellent opportunity for children to explore and become familiar with the anatomy of the human body in an engaging way.
The human body representation is presented in vivid 3D form. This three-dimensional visualization, combined with audible sounds corresponding to each body part, greatly enhances children’s understanding of both the structure and the functions of the human body. A unique aspect of Human Park is the interactive nature of its exhibits: as visitors approach or touch certain body parts, the exhibits respond accordingly. For example, touching the nose hairs triggers the sound of sneezing. The section dedicated to the heart and its blood vessels is particularly impressive, where 3D sound effects mimic the flow of blood and the heartbeat, creating a captivating atmosphere.
Exploring the inside of the human body in this way offers a fresh and intriguing experience for people of all ages. However, photography is not permitted inside Human Park. Instead, professional photographers are available to capture attractive photos of your visit, ensuring your memories of the park are well preserved.
Within the Darabad museum complex, Roya Park is another noteworthy tourist attraction. Additionally, the Iran Wildlife and Nature Museum, located nearby, is a fascinating destination well worth visiting. The complex offers several facilities and amenities, including a café and a 6D cinema. Inside Human Park itself, on the second floor, there is a uniquely themed café called Dr. Land, designed like a hospital.
At Dr. Land, children have the delightful chance to wear medical clothes and immerse themselves in the experience of being a doctor while learning about various medical instruments. Since Human Park is situated in Tehran’s Darabad neighborhood, nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts can also take advantage of the nearby mountains and valleys, making it possible to combine an educational visit with outdoor adventures.
