Kids ages 3 and up can roar into a kid-sized motorcycle dealership and engineering lab in a one-of-a-kind experience that lets children — and adults — Dream It! Build It!… and Ride It!
The traveling exhibit, Hands-On Harley-Davidson, opens at the Long Island Children’s Museum on Saturday, June 23 and runs through Sunday, Sept. 2.
At the show, visitors can explore a pretend motorcycle dealership while learning about the people, places and process that make a community work and using activities that promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) themes.
This interactive exhibit provides hands-on opportunities where kids can hit the road and explore U.S. and international touring routes; become design engineers, learning how acceleration, speed, friction, gravity and other laws of physics that affect a motorcycle in motion; work with friends and family to create a custom motorcycle using interchangeable parts; and experiment to see what happens when a rider throttles, leans into a curve, or descends a mountain road.
Hands-On Harley-Davidson was created by Milwaukee’s Betty Brinn Children’s Museum in collaboration with the Harley-Davidson Motor Company.
The exhibit is free with museum admission.
The Long Island Children’s Museum is located at 11 Davis Ave. in Garden City.
