Test your record-breaking skills at Science of Guinness World Records exhibition
An interactive exhibition is giving people the chance to test out their record-breaking skills.
The Science of Guinness World Records™, currently stationed at Kansas City’s Union Station in Missouri, USA, is fun for all the family.
Visitors can take part in a host of challenges, testing their reflexes, brain power and dexterity to see if they’ve got what it takes to break a record.
Operated by Science North in partnership with Ripley Entertainment, the exhibition helps people understand how their body reacts, focuses and endures in different scenarios.
And visitors could even have the chance to officially break a world record in an attempt overseen by a Guinness World Records Adjudicator.
