NBA Experience for 6 yr old?

[MrsTski]

Not sure if this is the right forum, but has anyone taken their younger kids to the NBA experience? My two older boys can't wait to go, but I'm wondering if my 6 year old will be "big" enough for the attractions. He does enjoy basketball, but currently shoots on a lower hoop. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

Finally made it over to the NBA Experience last week, I only went in because they are giving CM free entrance for them and up to 3 people, my DD works at DHS.
Anyways, if he likes basketball he'll find a couple of experiences he'll enjoy. The dunk area you can lower the basket, also the "angry birds" side might be fun for him. Other than that I'm not sure.There's a dribble school side, can he dribble? that might be fun for him to do

I took my son who was 6 at the time (he's now 7). He enjoyed the room where you can lower the rim. They also have video games and other activities. He will enjoy it

I think he will enjoy it if he likes basketball. Most of the attractions are designed for guests of varying heights.

It is an extra cost and if you have park tickets I wouldn’t do it for a 6 year old. My 16 year old nba fanatic did it last month and loved it. He was there for 4 hours. If was definitely worth the value for him. But he did miss out on some park time. We had 7 days at the park so missing a half day wasn’t a big deal, but I would weigh that out.

My boys 13/9 loved this place!! They have lots of the basketball shooting games typically in arcades and have 3 of the little kid ones. The slingshot game is fun for all ages/abilities. The dunking photo experience can be lowered. They also have multiple stations setup for NBA Live that my kids could have played for hours! If he likes basketball, he will love it!

You can go out/in as many times as you want during the day. So we got there at opening, played for several hours, had lunch and saw a movie and then went back to play more. I thought we got our money’s worth. If you’ve done the college football hall of fame experience, it’s just like that.

Thank you all so much for the help! We are not doing any Disney parks this trip (just a short 4 day get away), so thinking we'll all spend some time at the NBA experience!
