    Time Out New York Kids / Issue 31 : Apr 15–May 15, 2008

    The Sports Museum of America opens in NYC

    The downtown Sports Museum scores a home run.

    By Dan Avery

    All these mementos of athletic glory may have your kid itching to achieve major-league greatness. If so, wind up your family’s visit at “Dreaming Big,” which shows how several sports legends got their start. Displays include then-nine-year-old Jeff Gordon’s go-kart trophy, Jason Kidd’s first-grade basketball jersey and Billie Jean King’s report card (with high marks in phys ed), as well as archival interviews with a three-year-old Tiger Woods and elementary-schoolers Venus and Serena Williams. “What’s great is that so many of today’s heroes caught our attention early,” says Schwalb. “You can actually track their evolution as sports stars.” Be sure to snap a photo of your babe before you leave. You never know: The Sports Museum of America might need it someday.

    The Sports Museum of America opens Wed 7.
