Nigel Nose-It-All (JPEG: 3.2MB)
Visitors activate this animatronic exhibit by pressing one of five buttons to learn about how their nose functions, including allergies, sinuses, snot trivia, runny noses, and more. In addition, microscopes at the exhibit's base feature slides of things that cause runny noses. The animatronic figure (over 9 feet tall) moves its head, arms, eyelids, handle, and a special snot ball that drops out of his faucet nose at various times during his presentation.
