In PowerPlay, children play an active role in determining and understanding their physical ability and performance, and in doing so will gain lifelong tools to assess themselves.

PowerPlay engages children and families in physical challenges and related activities that prompt them to increase, or continue, their physical activity, no matter what their present physical ability.

The exhibit provides a safe environment for children to test their physical skills, and to help them develop an awareness that regular physical activity is essential to their health.

35-foot high power tower climber by Spencer Luckey spans three levels.
