Overture Theater
Become part of a larger-than-life theatre experience, surrounded by five video screens showing the spine-tingling sights and sounds of the greatest moments in Western Pennsylvania sports.

Racing
Get an up-close look at the Indy 500-winning car from local racing legend Chip Ganassi and explore the region’s auto racing, horse racing, cycling, and track and field history. Kids can hop aboard a pint-sized powerboat ride, create their own Olympic medal, or measure their leaping ability in the long jump.

Golf
Try putting Oakmont Country Club’s famed “church pew” sand bunkers and learn about local heroes Arnold Palmer and Carol Semple-Thompson’s incredible careers through artifacts, U.S. Open videos, and an interactive game showing the evolution of modern golf equipment.

Baseball
Step back in time with a 40-foot, two-story mural depicting
Forbes Field as it looked during the seventh game of the 1960 World Series. Explore the Hall of Famers from Pittsburgh’s Negro League teams – the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords – and uncover un-told stories of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ five World Championships. Kids can try their hand holding legendary bats from Pirate greats, listening to audio clips of Pittsburgh’s legendary announcers, or learning about venerable Three Rivers Stadium as part of a touch-screen interactive.
