At The Strong National Museum of Play, the Field of Play exhibit brings to life six core elements of play: anticipation, surprise, pleasure, understanding, strength, and poise. Step into an interactive world to test your abilities and discover how play shapes, enriches, and transforms our everyday lives.
Explore the vital role play serves in human development, learning, and creativity. Dive into these hands-on activities to test the elements of play for yourself.
