Pretend you're on a field trip

Remember when you were a kid and you went to science museums to view really cool exhibits?

So whether you like gross anatomy or are just a kid at heart, it might be worth checking out. Passes are $11 for students and seniors, $10 for kids ages three through 12 and $12 for everyone else. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day except Sunday, when it opens at noon.
