Physiology

Physiology

Physiology will convey the importance of physical fitness with fun, learning activities. Visitors may strap into a tumbling gyro chair to selectively understand the circulatory system, g-forces and spatial disorientation. Heart rate monitors will display pulse rates, allowing checks of fitness and stress levels.

Please note – Guests must be 54″ or taller to ride in the gyro chair.
