Watch a replay of the 1954 miracle mile where John Landy and Roger Bannister both broke the four minute mile barrier. The kids will like the Participation Gallery which features hands on activities like a treadwall, arm wrestling machine, and a device to measure your running time over 14 metres. Other exhibits include the Rick Hansen Gallery, Terry Fox Gallery, Hall of Champions, and First Nations Gallery. Any child who plays a competitive sport would get a kick out of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. The younger ones might still enjoy the Participation Gallery.
Sports bring out emotion in people.
All you have to do is watch the soccer fans in Europe. You can feel the agony of defeat and the thrill of victory as you look at the pictures and videos of B.C.'s famous athletes. It's good for children also to see how other people handle winning and losing. It helps them to realize that they are not the centre of the universe. Open seven days a week from 10 am to 5 pm.
