Step into the world of Chicago sports at the Chicago Sports Museum, where fans of all ages can immerse themselves in interactive exhibits, skill challenges, and a vast collection of memorabilia. Located in the heart of Chicago, this 23,000-square-foot museum celebrates the city’s legendary teams and athletes through high-tech experiences and rare artefacts.
Begin your visit by testing your athletic abilities against Chicago’s greatest. Try your hand at throwing a curveball with Cy Young Award Winner Steve Stone, measure your vertical leap against Michael Jordan, and compare your wingspan to Scottie Pippen. The museum’s body-tracking technology lets you shoot hoops with Scottie Pippen, take on a quarterback challenge with Bears legend Richard Dent, and more. Explore cases filled with game-worn memorabilia, championship rings, and even try on a replica of William “Refrigerator” Perry’s Super Bowl ring.
Delve into the Forensic Sports exhibit, where you can examine a CT scan of Sammy Sosa’s corked bat and study the evolution of baseballs. In the Fan Zone, stand beneath the basketball hoop from Michael Jordan’s iconic 1998 NBA Finals shot. Discover the stories behind famous curses and superstitions, including Cubs lore and the infamous 2003 playoff foul ball. The Hall of Legends invites you to compete in custom virtual reality games, from home run contests with Frank Thomas to Windy City sports trivia.
Don’t miss the city’s largest collection of 2016 World Series memorabilia, featuring David Ross’ Game 7 catcher’s gear, Kris Bryant’s cleats, and Addison Russell’s grand slam ball. The museum is a playground for sports fans, offering a memorable experience that blends hands-on fun with Chicago’s rich sporting heritage.
Your visit ends in a central location, perfect for exploring more of city centre Chicago or enjoying a meal at the adjoining restaurant. Please check the museum’s calendar for occasional early closures due to private events.
