WE’RE CHANGING
Coming soon, TheZone at Jamestown’s Northwest Arena will be a 6,200 square foot, state-of-the-art indoor play space for toddlers through pre-teens that will connect sports with science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM).
The experience is designed by Jack Rouse Associates and Cortina Productions, renowned firms that have created immersive experiences and interactive digital displays for theme parks, museums, and sports and destination attractions worldwide. In addition to their collaborative work on the nearby National Comedy Center, their portfolio includes the Crayola Experience, LEGOLAND Parks, NASA Space Center Houston, Louisville Slugger Museum, the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, the Jackie Robinson Museum, and the National Soccer Hall of Fame.
CONNECTING SPORT, SCIENCE, FITNESS AND FUN

CULTIVATING A THRIVING COMMUNITY
Located in proximity to the Jamestown Riverwalk, TheZone will be centralized and accessible to local families, eager for great experiences for their kids and families visiting the Northwest Arena. An analysis by AECOM projects that TheZone will draw 45,000 visitors per year once well-established. Nationwide, children’s museums add $5.5 billion to the economy annually—in part, because each dollar in museum spending ripples out to create $3.66 in economic activity.
Now in the final stage of an $8.5 million capital project, the Campaign for TheZone seeks a final $1.5 million investment for the installation of TheZone’s fixtures and exhibits with a goal of opening in late 2023. Consider donating a monetary gift and be a part of TheZone’s Starting Lineup. Additionally, named gift opportunities exist within TheZone, ranging in value from $5,000 – $100,000. Pledges may be distributed over a five-year giving period.
