SynDaver (Synthetic human body) 

Cyndi, our SynDaver (synthetic human body), and our knowledgeable staff will help to answer your questions about the human body, how it works, and how to keep it healthy. SynDaver features complete and functional muscular, skeletal, circulatory, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems – all made from materials that look, feel, and respond just like live tissue. These hour-long experiences explore different systems of the body through a series of experiments and dissections. 

How to Book a SynDaver Program:

Community Program – $500 for 2 hours
All Ages
Reserve our SynDaver for your special event! Participants will get to interact with our SynDaver to learn more about the human body.
