College Basketball Experience

Written by Matt Rosenfeld
The College Basketball Experience is a unique activity for visitors to Kansas City.  It is located within the Sprint Center downtown and allows visitors to try their hand at various basketball games, from a full-court matchup, to trying to sink as many 3-pointers as you can within a 1 minute time limit and more.  This makes it fun for people of all ages. (Definitely come wearing comfortable shoes!)

You can also compare yourself to some of the great college basketball stars, including your jump, your wingspan, your height, even your shoe size. In addition, on another floor, you can view the history of collegiate basketball in America, as well as view the College Basketball Hall of Fame.

This interactive museum also gives aspiring sports reporters the chance to "call the highlights" and, reading from a teleprompter, to be the sports anchor during some of the best college basketball games. The experience is recorded and you can e-mail it to yourself for free - a great souvenir of your trip.

We spent about an hour and a half here, most of the time spent competing against each other in games sections. This is a fun museum, and a great rainy day museum for children and families.
