Game on, Pittsburgh! The all-new Sports360 exhibition kicks off with a Family Tailgate Celebration on Sat., Dec. 13 — and you’re invited to be among the first to experience this 9,500-square-foot, high-energy adventure that puts your body and brain to the test.
Bring your team spirit and curiosity to Kamin Science Center and discover how science, technology, and passion power every play. From what you eat to how you move to the thrill of the fans, Sports360 takes you inside the world of sports like never before.
Sat., Dec. 13
10 a.m.–5 p.m.
Sports360 is the largest long-term exhibition at Pittsburgh’s most visited museum — and it’s packed with interactive experiences that put you in the center of the action. Explore four immersive zones that reveal the science behind athletic performance, from training to game day and beyond.
Before you hit the field, step into the Prepare zone to get your mind and body game ready. Discover how nutrition, hydration, sleep, and mental focus impact performance. Learn why what you put into your body matters just as much as the training you do. Suit up and explore the material science behind sports gear — how innovations in design and technology keep athletes protected, agile, and performing at their best.
Get ready to move! The Practice zone features four immersive simulators that let you dial in your focus and fine-tune your technique across five different sports, including baseball, hockey, football, soccer, and basketball. Hold your form, test your skills, and see how consistent practice sharpens precision, speed, and coordination.
Now it’s game time. Step into the Participate zone and feel the rush of competition — whether you’re in the action or cheering from the stands. Fans and amateur athletes alike can discover the power of Pittsburgh fandom, explore the sights and sounds of a city that bleeds black and gold, and learn how teamwork, psychology, and community make sports so powerful.
Think you’ve got what it takes to go pro? Step up to the challenge in the GoPro zone, where you can test your speed, agility, and strength in a mini-NFL Combine — or drive a virtual Zamboni to resurface the ice before the big game. These full-body, high-energy experiences reveal the science of reaction time, balance, endurance, and power — all the elements that make elite athletes excel.
