Let's get gross! The human body can be a little nasty

SLIME WEEKEND: Aug. 30 - Sept. 1

Splat! We are celebrating Labor Day Weekend, and the final days of the Grossology exhibition, with the slimiest time ever. At LSC’s Slime Weekend, you can enter our Mystery Slime Lab and create your own slimy concoction to keep. Your group or family may also be chosen for Slime Time—a live show at which somebody will get slimed big time! We’ll have gross and icky presentations throughout the day, including the Sneeze Machine and Eat a Bug (which is exactly what it sounds like). All Slime Weekend activities are included with admission.

The Grossology Exhibition

Barf, boogers, body odor—blecch! The bodies we walk around in all day can seem really gross. Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body shows us the scientific reasons behind the human smells, sounds, and feelings that are all a part of life.

Learn how bacteria cause stinky body odor. Dodge a snot ball while you explore why we sneeze or have a runny nose. See how gas builds up inside you, causing you to burp! Understand why farts don’t all sound the same, then conquer a climbing wall that’s covered in warts, blemishes, hairs, and other features of human skin.

This exhibition is filled with interactive challenges, games, and larger-than-life models that really make the grossness of daily life a lot of fun! Based on Sylvia Branzei’s popular Grossology book, this experience offers a big dose of gross as well as a ton of fascinating science information. Don’t miss it!

Grossology is included with your admission ticket to LSC.
