My 16 year old son and I visited Bodies because he is interested in going into the medical field. I thought it was laid out very well, with each body system separate and distinct. It was amazing to see the real body parts and organs. We enjoyed reading about each system and learning about each. We also found it interesting... More

But my wife being a nurse loved it. It was very interesting to see what makes up the human body especially when real bodies have been used for the display. However if you have a week stomach some of the displays wont help. It was interesting to the the display on the lungs and the affect smoking has on them.... More

Every room was so interesting! One of my favorite parts was when you get to do an experiment with your brain, trying to move a ball! There's a lot to look at and a lot to learn!

My second visit. First came here in 2007 with my kids, and now returned with my husband an interventional radiologit. The whole thing was so interesting, and the anatomists are so talented. The exhibit that totally blew us both away was how they had what appeared to be two people holding hands. On closer inspection one was a whole skeleton,... More

It is truly a must see. It is not a horror show, or a side show, but a very informative display of how our body's work. As I stated, No words can describe, and it is a MUST SEE.

Recently went with a school group to see the Bodies Exhibit with a school group in NYC near the South Street Seaport. Confusion getting and they couldn't find our 20 reservations. Went upstairs and the individual rooms were VERY warm. A young child passed out and was sitting with his mother with ice on his head. ALL rooms were very... More

Went here as my partner is a nurse and is interested in anatomy. I am at times squeemish but went anyway. An interesting exhibition, which I would have enjoyed more if I hadn't read the stories behind the bodies prior to going. I did enjoy looking at the bodies and they present them well. I opted out of the foetus... More
