Science can be fun, but also gross.  This new exhibit will address some of the grossest science subjects, such as what blood is made of, how loud a burp is and the identification of animals by their waste.  Visitors will explore the world of creepy crawlies, gross smells and stinky science.

This exhibit is sponsored by Marion Rotary Duck Derby, Ocala Electric Utility, and the Discovery Center Foundation.

General admission to the Discovery Center is $8 per person or $28 for a family of four. Annual memberships are also available for individuals and families.
