Visitors will engage in a variety of experiences that will put their human ability, capacity, drive and motivation to the ultimate challenge. The question is, do they have what it takes? They’ll test their balance on a high line, then keep the adrenaline going with a parkour course. And if they’ve got a need for speed, they can dash through a virtual race or take flight and pilot a wingsuit in a simulated adventure.
And don’t be fooled. Although many may believe that certain sports are exclusively reserved for daredevils and thrill seekers, “Extreme Sports: Beyond Human Limits” demonstrates that such activities require an elite level of technical skill, high intelligence and quick decision-making abilities.
Everyone’s invited to explore the creativity, innovation and evolution inherent in these bold activities. Come check out the exhibit today. You may even learn more about your self-motivation, discover a new passion, and develop a deeper sense of adventure.
“Extreme Sports: Beyond Human Limits” is included with general admission to Orlando Science Center and free for OSC members. Experience the new exhibit and then stay to explore four floors of wonder and discovery. Plan your visit and get tickets today at OSC.org/visit.
