Kansas City has a lot to offer for the whole family. I really didn’t know what to expect during my first visit. I knew that Kansas City was known for bbq but I discovered that there is a whole lot more!
Hoops dreams brought to life at The College Basketball Experience
If you are a basketball fan, you will definitely want to check out The College Basketball Experience in Kansas City, Missouri.
So what makes this experience so great?
Because EXPERIENCE is what you will do!
This is not a museum, it’s a place where you experience college basketball through interactive play and exhibits.
The College Basketball Experience is a 41,500 square ft basketball playground on two floors. I would highly recommend that you dress accordingly for your 1st visit because you will most likely get a little sweaty if you choose to play…..and let’s be honest, it’s WAY more fun to play!
The College Basketball Experience houses the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Visitors will enjoy a trip down memory lane with sights and sounds of some of their favorite college basketball teams.
I added this giant Michigan mural for my family members who are die hard Michigan fans.
This is not a typical museum experience which is why it’s called The Basketball Experience. During your visit, you can focus on specific basketball skills throughout both floors of the building.
Practice your slam dunk, beat the buzzer, and more.
You can also learn more about the college players and envision what it would be like to fill their shoes.
The lower level of The Basketball Experience offers lots of additional play as well.
You don’t have to be a big basketball fan to enjoy The College Basketball Experience. If you are a big basketball fan, you will never want to leave!
