International Tennis Hall Of Fame Museum
Interactive, educational experiences abound throughout the new museum! Tennis aficionados can test their knowledge of the sport on a five-foot touch table at which they can stand at either end and “serve” tennis history questions back and forth to each other. The “Call the Match” exhibit offers visitors the chance to record themselves taking on the role of broadcast luminaries.
