American Comic Book Heroes: The Battle of Good vs. Evil

Produced by Strong National Museum of Play®

Grab a cape and leap into a world of superheroes. Explore seven decades of amazing characters who have struggled mightily against evil in the comic-book cosmos while inspiring kids’ imaginations and play.

Look up in the sky! Gigantic statues of Superman™, Spider-Man™, Batman™, Iron Man™, and The Incredible Hulk™ loom overhead.  Journey through the golden age of comic books via radio and television broadcasts, video games, original 1940s radio scripts, and early comic book art.

Go hands-on at Super Powers School where everyone becomes a superhero.

  • Super Strength: Step into the laboratory to absorb the “gamma rays” that will enable you to pick up a massively heavy object.
  •     
  • Super Memory: Observe a series of flashing lights and train your brain to repeat back the correct sequences.
  •     
  • Super Balance: Walk across a steel beam high above the city and look down upon spectacular views.
  •     
  • Super Flight: Hold on tight as you maneuver through an aerial course.
  •     
  • Super Reflexes: Play Whack A Foe and sharpen your reaction times.

Don’t miss your chance to capture a super smile! Have your picture taken as you fly across the sky or scale the buildings of downtown Rochester.
