Hands-On Harley Davidson Exhibit now Open!
Get ready to hit the road this summer with the latest Discovery Cube Exhibit Hands-On Harley Davidson! Engineers and motorcycle enthusiasts alike will enjoy interactive activities to learn about safety and engine parts while also conducting experiments to see what happens when you throttle-on, lean into a curve or descend a mountain road. This educational traveling exhibit illustrates science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts through a one-of-a-kind experience that lets visitors Dream It! Build It!... and Ride It!
Dream It
Machines in Motion: As a design engineer, learn how acceleration, speed, friction and gravity affect a motorcycle in motion. Conduct your own experiments to see what happens when you throttle-on, lean into a curve or descend a mountain road.
Go Global: Choose a motorcycle tour using an interactive world map to learn about your bike’s mechanical systems, solve math challenges and see fantastic destinations.
Gear Up: Step into a pretend dealership and select and interactive video to learn about the riding gear that will keep you safe, warm… and dry!
Build It
Motorcycle Mechanics: Learn about engine parts and how they work together to create a smooth and safe ride. View real motorcycle mechanics hard at work in a dealership service department.
Build-It Bay: Amazing kid-sized motorcycles inspired by a real Harley-Davidson® Road King® let you build your dream ride using interchangeable custom motor parts and accessories, including seats, mirrors, tail pipes and engine components.
Custom Shop: Style your ride with magnetic flames, Harley-Davidson® logos, saddle bags and a personalized license plate!
Ride It
Safety First: Role-play as a motorcycle-riding community service officer, complete with a “see yourself” monitor, and videos that help you learn about traffic safety, hand signals, and preparing for a trip. Helmets, pretend gear, service officer decals for your bike (and flashing lights!) are included.
Let’s Ride: A first-person riding experience, including a throttle to control the speed of your bike, working turn signals, costumes, audio effects – and the wind in your face – complete the ultimate ride experience!
Off-Road Recreation: A multilevel play space, created with real Harley-Davidson® motorcycle parts, accessories and sounds, complements the pretend dealership.
