Long Island Children’s Museum is getting ready for a rip-roaring, snorting and hacking good time this summer as it welcomes this wildly popular, “science-in-disguise” exhibit.
Based on Sylvia Branzei ‘s best-selling book Grossology, the exhibit features 17 interactive stations designed to teach you the good, the bad and the downright ugly about runny noses, body odor and much more.
Sophisticated animatronics and imaginative exhibits explain to kids how and why their bodies produce mushy, oozy, crusty, scaly, stinky things that many people think are gross.
