The Museum District's underrated gem: in the Amazing Body Gallery you can walk inside a giant brain and heart, watch how your skeleton moves as you pedal a bike, and measure your own heartbeat. Almost every exhibit is hands-on, so the 7-year-old asks nonstop questions and even a 2-year-old can push buttons and watch lights come on.
