Upper Body Strength

Learn more about how different challenges in PowerPlay affect your cardio, lower body strength, flexibility, upper body strength and balance.

Upper Body Strength

• Grip It: Measure your grip strength and record this measurement using their Kid Card.

• Blast Off: Crank hand pedals as fast as you can to race flying superheroes across the exhibit.

• Adventure Course: Run through a course of climbing and crawling activities along padded, sloping surfaces! Slap each hand whacker along the way and record the level you achieve.

• Mt. Boulder: A climbing wall with three challenge levels measures how far you’ve climbed and tests your grip strength, reach, flexibility and coordination.

• Power Course: Grab a scooter and use your upper body strength to push or pull yourself along this wheelchair accessible course.

• Power Tower: Climb, jump and leap your way through the Power Tower, a three-story climbing structure in the middle of Power Play.
