The exhibit has more than 20 interactive displays and games and uses sophisticated animatronics and imaginative exhibits to disclose the good, the bad, and the downright ugly about runny noses, body odor, and much more. The exhibit is based on the best-selling children's book Grossology by Sylvia Branzei.
