Gastronauts

Astronaut

Step inside a giant, hands-on gut model and explore what goes on inside your digestive system! Compare a healthy gut to one that’s inflamed due to allergies, infections, and other triggers. As you walk through, you’ll get to ask questions, discover how immune cells respond, and see firsthand how the body works to keep your tummy on track. This interactive experience offers a fascinating peek at the science behind our insides—because understanding your gut health is nothing to digest lightly!
