Tackle the Fear Buster Challenge:

Get to the “root” of your fear of the dentist with dental hygienists (we promise they will be gentle!)

Walk through a narrow tunnel in a dark room before the walls collapse. What else may be lurking in the room??

Go up in an 85-foot lift, courtesy of United Rentals.

You’ll feel no pain (we promise) as an acupuncturist inserts a needle in your arm.

Encounter a pit bull (available for adoption) and find out how these dogs can be misperceived.

Try to speak in front of a crowd of strangers.

Pose for a photo with some spooky photobombing friends.

Nibble on bugs.

Pet a bull snake.

 Combine your own mixture of “vomit” and dare your friends to touch it.

And in the Goose Bumps! The Science of Fear exhibit, try to resist a shock, attempt to fall backward or see if you can withstand a sudden surprise.

Experience all Exploration Place exhibits.

Nibble on snacks.

Conduct electricity with a Tesla coil.
