The kids loved the interactive aspect, I loved the overview of each sport. I do not think I would have spent the money for a regularly priced ticket, the Goldstar pricing made it affordable, it is a bit overpriced.
Intersesting; informative; knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great activity for adults and kids (10 and up)!!
A lot of sports are covered, so it will take some time if you want to see every exhibit. The staff were great- very friendly and engaging, adding to the experience. I'd love to go again.
From sports fans looking for some flat-out fun... to moms and dads who want entertainment and enrichment for the whole family... to coaches and teachers who seek education and inspiration... the Sports Museum of America is designed to excite and delight the fan and athlete in all of us. And they're committed to providing a rewarding experience for people of any age, gender, ethnicity, nationality or ability.
With more than 600 artifacts, 1,100 photos, and 20 original films within 19 galleries, you can choose to experience highlights of all sports in 90 jam-packed minutes or immerse yourself for hours in the great sports stories that touch us all so deeply.
SmA also features more than 2 dozen mechanical and computer interactive exhibits putting you in the middle of the action of your favorite sports - whether it's feeling the sensation of an incoming, 120mph slapshot from the hockey goalie's perspective, stepping on to a simulated NASCAR racetrack with cars screaming by on floor-to-ceiling screens, feeling the pressure on an NFL official to make the correct call on the field, exploring Cisco's virtual "ballparks of the future" kiosk, or comparing the weight of the baseball bats used by Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey, Jr., and Ichiro Suzuki.
At SmA, innovative exhibits engage and entertain families and fans of all sports - redefining what a museum can be.
The museum is the proud new home of the legendary Heisman Trophy, college football's top honor, first awarded in 1935. The Gallery will present the history of the award, define the attributes that make a Heisman winner, and pay tribute to Heisman winners past and present. At the center of the gallery, visitors will be able to admire and touch the original Heisman Trophy, and can cast their votes for the next Heisman winner.
They'll also be housing the Billie Jean King International Women's Sports Center, including the first ever hall of fame dedicated to women's sports, the Women's Sports Foundation International Women's Sports Hall of Fame. Here, outstanding female athletes, coaches, and those who inspire them will finally receive the tributes they deserve. In the center, a showcase of Billie Jean King's life-long vision, you will follow the path of mind, body, and soul to learn what it takes to be a female athlete.
