Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body

About

Just the press release for this exhibit makes us shudder. Chances are, though, kids are going to go bananas over a place with a burp machine. It also happens to be educational, but we won't tell. Take a "Tour du Nose" to explore 10 nasal features, including how your snout acts as an air filter, a smell sensor and a mucus producer. Play the pinball game "Gas Attack" by scoring off bumpers dressed up as food items that cause gas. Mimic the buildup of acid indigestion by causing the "Burp Machine" to release a giant belch. Explore the role of the kidney in a virtual reality experience in "Urine: The Game." Take a ride on the GI slide, climb a large-scale replica of human skin, and discover other mysterious ways your body's biology does what it needs to in order to keep you healthy.
