The Giant Heart: An Interactive Tour

Take a virtual tour like never before. Learn more about your giant heart by exploring our Giant Heart!

What does the heart do? What is it made of? Where does the blood flow? 

And did you know? You can take your heart rate using just two fingers. See how it varies when you are relaxed vs. when you are more active. Plus, open and close your hand to demonstrate our beating hearts—our science educators will explain why while our hand muscles may quickly tire out, our heart muscles likely won’t.

I’ll eat it! I’ll think about it! NO WAY! 

With a game show feel, live from their home kitchens, our science presenters offer up some of the newest “trends” in synthetic biology-based foods—from vanilla flavoring made with yeast to meat grown in a lab. Learn why some of these foods you would consider eating, while others are a hard pass, in a card game guaranteed to stir up some tasty conversation.
