Mon 9/5 @ 10AM-5PM
Throughout the summer, visitors to the Great Lakes Science Center had the opportunity to explore the science of sports in the exhibit Sports Arena — how bodies can do amazing things such as run marathons, do multiple mid-air somersaults like Simone Biles and win Wimbledon at the age of 34 like Serena Williams.
The exhibit features interactive exhibits where you can test your own speed, endurance, strength and agility, and learn ways to perform even better. You can play green-screen soccer, volleyball, hockey or basketball with actual athletes; try a 10-meter dash against a friend, a dinosaur, a cheetah (the fastest land animal) or images of Olympic runner Jackie Joyner Kersey; walk an competition gymnastics balance beam; see how long you can balance on an electronic teeter board; test your dancing skills; find out how diet contributes to performance; and even learn what it takes to be a judge.
Sports Arena‘s last day is Labor Day so you’d better hurry down. It’s free with regular admission.
