Location: 1515 Hermann Drive, Houston
The Museum of Health & Medical Science is a relatively new addition to the Houston museum scene, having opened in March 1996, but has already hosted over one and a half million visitors since then. When you step into the museum, the first thing you notice is a giant mouth complete with huge, boulder-like teeth. The mouth beckons to be explored, and you stroll down the esophagus into the Amazing Body Pavilion, the centerpiece of this hands-on education in health and wellness.
The Pavilion is a larger-than-life walking tour of the inner workings of the human body, featuring a 10-foot-tall walk-through brain, interactive kiosks with more information about the human anatomy, and a massive 27 ½ foot intestine. Three Fantastic Illusion presentations communicate health and wellness information about the lungs, heart and brain through convincing audio and video.
Guests can watch a skeleton ride a bike, test their hearing, and try their hand at several safety demonstrations. After you have walked through the whole body, visit the peaceful Sensory Garden.
The By-You City is designed for kids under age seven to learn about the environment’s impact on their health through fun presentations, puppet shows, and hands-on activities.
