The Air Zoo Aerospace & Science Center is excited to unveil its latest immersive exhibition, Extreme Sports: Beyond Human Limits. Developed by Science North in partnership with the Ontario Science Centre, this high-energy, hands-on experience dives into the exhilarating world of extreme sports and the science behind pushing the boundaries of human potential. This dynamic exhibit invites visitors to explore the physical demands, mental resilience, and cutting-edge research behind some of the world’s most daring activities—such as wingsuit flying, parkour, ice and rock climbing, and free diving. Through a series of interactive stations, multimedia elements, and engaging challenges, guests of all ages can test their physical and mental abilities, hear inspiring stories from real-life extreme athletes who have conquered high-risk environments, and learn from scientists, innovators, and rescue professionals working on the front lines of these sports.
From soaring heights to frigid depths, and across rugged, ever-changing terrain, Extreme Sports reveals the discipline, focus, and calculated risk-taking that define these remarkable pursuits. “Extreme Sports is a high-octane exhibit that blends science with adventure,” said Seth Welton, Marketing & Communications Manager at the Air Zoo. “It’s an unforgettable experience filled with inspiring stories, groundbreaking research, and interactive fun for the entire family.” The exhibit is open now through October 31 and is generously sponsored by Outfront Media.
