We have all heard about what an amazing thing the human body is, but just how much do most of us know about its workings? This family museum will surprise most visitors with its extensive use of audio, video, holograms, and medical technology to provide a graphic view of human physiology.

This was a wonderful activity to spend with the kids on summer break. I had two 8 year olds and a 10 year old with me and they were all enjoying the walk through the human body and the who done it exibit. Not an all day affair, but its a wonderful way to spend a few hours in the afternoon.

An excellent place for all ages! It was extremely fun for all of us. The exhibits were very educational. They have at certain times a scientist come out and give a lecture. Ours was on the eye being dissected. The instructor was wonderful. She held my children's attention and it wasn't that bad! I recommend this attraction to EVERYbody!
