These full-body, 'life-size' sports interactive exhibits teach the basic science and technology of sports—balance, trajectory, center of gravity, momentum, transfer of energy, and more. Read about these exciting exhibits, then come and try them out for yourself!
You-Yo – Become a human yo-yo on this 25-foot-high arch with a three-foot flywheel mounted at the top. Whisk yourself high in the air and soar with the help of kinetic energy. Wouldn't you like to become a yo-yo?
Go for a Spin! – Experience rotational physics first-hand as you vary your body position to control your speed on a spinning platform and relate it to ice skating or gymnastic skills.
Bounce! – Launch yourself 20 feet in the air on a bungee-harnessed trampoline. Put physics to work as you flip, twist, and spin. Sponsored by Giant Eagle.
Big Hockey – Test your reaction time and motor skills as you play on the world's largest 'bubble hockey' table. Sponsored by Highmark.
Hoops Vision – Try your hand at making baskets—but when looking through optical goggles that flip your world upside-down!
High Cycle – Ride a counter-balanced unicycle across a beam 20 feet in the air!
Coaster Physics – Go for a spin (literally!) in a full-motion, 360-degree flight simulator that takes you on a ride on Kennywood Park's beloved "Phantom" roller coaster.
