Adventure Gallery

Inside the 1,300-square-foot gallery, guests will learn about the creative engineering that enables extraordinary feats like climbing the highest mountains and exploring the deepest oceans, as well as awesome activities from airplanes and roller coasters to skydiving and rock climbing.

Max Flight: Full Motion Simulator

$8 for members | $10 for non-members


Sharp banks, sky loops, and screaming dives await you on Max Flight: Full Motion Simulator. Riders will choose one of the many roller coasters, interactive movies, or passenger-controlled flight simulations and then hold on tight!

Kinetic Climber is currently closed pending renovations

The Kinetic Climber, installed by renowned climbing wall manufacturer, Eldorado Climbing, is an out-of-this-world adventure! In this 30-minute experience, you will don a harness, put on a helmet, and push yourself to your limit on 9 unique climbing challenges. 

The towers are designed for multiple climbers of all ages and a wide range of abilities to enjoy exciting challenges from rotating pegs and swaying poles to a tipping ladder with missing steps. Climbers will ascend up to 26 feet in front of a large bay of floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy the science center's epic view of downtown Nashville.

The Kinetic Climber features a state-of-the-art magnetic auto belay system to enable guests to safely climb whether they are an expert or a novice and does not require a climbing partner. Read more about the safety and technology of our auto belays aquí.

Please Note: We're experimenting with brand-new, floor cart activities so Kinetic Climber is currently inaccessible.

The programming in this space will continue to change so you can have a new experience with every visit!

Adventure Gallery 

Wary of heights? That's okay! There are a series of interactives throughout Adventure Gallery that explore the creative engineering that enables extraordinary feats all while keeping your ... feet ... on the ground. 

Soak up a 25 feet tall topographical mural featuring a section of the Smokey Mountains by local artist, Nathan Brown, and explore the deep connections between engineering and adventuring at six new hands-on stations.

Adventure Gallery and the Kinetic Climber signify the next round of permanent improvements to Adventure Science Center as part of the larger Beyond 75 initiative to create an unparalleled science center for Middle Tennessee and beyond. 

A variety of exhibit sponsorship levels are available upon request by contacting Chief Development Officer, Joel Abramson, at jabramson@adventuresci.org.
