The Team Up! Explore Science & Sports exhibit will amaze children, families and groups by testing their abilities in sports such as basketball, football, baseball, tennis, soccer and even extreme sports like snowboarding. Children will also learn principles of geometry, physics, force and friction in a way that is both intriguing and relative to their favorite sports. Team Up!, sponsored by Baylor Medical Center of Frisco, offers fun and learning for the whole family.



Team Up! and Amusement Park Science are supported in part by Dallas Social Venture Partners.
