Sports Hall
Get moving!
Put your athletic prowess to the test and understand the physical and mental demands it takes to become a great athlete. Inside the Sports Hall, you’ll discover that every field, court, track, and gym is a hands-on science lab. Get into the action by throwing a football, shooting a hockey puck, turning cartwheels and more — while a high-speed camera captures it all for you to analyze when you’re done.
Put your feet to the test
Think you’re faster than a T. rex or a cheetah? What about NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes? Step up to the starting line and get ready to run.
Think fast
You have two general types of muscle fibers: slow-twitch and fast-twitch. Put your fast-twitch muscles to the test in the Reaction Time exhibit and see if you can beat the high score.
Keep your body in peak condition
Understand the exercise, diet, and training habits of athletes and how you can apply the same techniques to your own lifestyle.
