Why do our hearts race, our knees shake, and our bodies sweat when we are scared? This exciting exhibit, exploring the universal emotion of fear, is sponsored locally through a generous grant from the Leo Goodwin Foundation.
Through fun, interactive challenges, guests can experience fear in a safe environment and discover the science behind their physical and emotional responses. The 6,000 square-foot exhibit includes immersive environments and full-body, interactive experiences that allow guests to test their own fears and rate their physiological responses. Leading scientists and their current research on the neurobiology, physiology and psychology of fear are also featured throughout the exhibit.
