## About

Located in downtown Indianapolis's White River State Park adjacent to the NCAA national headquarters, the NCAA Hall of Champions is a dynamic two-story interactive sports museum celebrating collegiate student-athletes across 24 sports. In the dead of winter, when outdoor sports fields are frozen, the Hall of Champions offers a fantastic active indoor arena where kids and parents can test their athletic skills. On the second floor, visitors step onto a nostalgic 1930s-style retro gymnasium floor to shoot basketballs at varying hoop heights, compete in a downhill snow skiing simulator, test their reaction times at interactive digital kiosks, and throw footballs or pitch baseballs in sports simulation cages. Hands-on trivia challenges, video displays, and equipment exhibits provide engaging entertainment for all ages while burning off winter energy.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Fully ADA compliant building with wide double doors, smooth terrazzo flooring, and a large elevator connecting both exhibition levels; stroller-friendly lobby.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated lobby with bench seating, quiet media viewing alcoves on Level 1, and spacious family restrooms equipped with infant changing stations.
• Age Suitability: Exciting for youth and adults of all ages; toddlers enjoy shooting mini-hoops while older kids and teens love the digital simulators and sports challenges.
• Sensory Tips: Active, energetic sports environment with squeaking sneakers, bouncing balls, and arena sounds; quieter historical and academic exhibits on Level 1 offer lower stimulation.
