Animal Grossology at the Pacific Science Center

"Oozing with disgusting science and interactive learning games, Animal Grossology contains solid science and introduces it in a way that makes kids giggle. You may think leeches are pretty gross but they're used after some surgeries to assist in the healing process. Did you know that cows are one of the gassiest animals on Earth? Learn why the dung beetle is nature's living pooper scooper and why scientists are studying slug and snail slime production for clues in treating cystic fibrosis."

A new exhibit, Animal Grossology, recently opened at the Pacific Science Center. While it's not my sort of thing, I know lots of preteen boys (and some girls too) who would love to learn about all things icky and gross. In fact, when the PacSci held the original exhibit, Grossology, hundreds of thousands of people visited.

You and the kids can try out interactive exhibits like Dung Ball Rally, the Slime Game, Chew Chew Express, and Stupor Fly. Also, check out the IMAX movie Animalopolis.

Animal Grossology is free with admission to the Pacific Science Center.
