Entertainment and Activities in America's Cup Port

This is a multimedia museum / exhibition dedicated to the history of the America's Cup. It is basically a dark room with four projection cubes on which you can watch coverage of 4 most notable periods of America's Cup history in a dramatic collage of costumed drama and archive footage: the first race between America and the British Squadron, the J-class yacht era of 1930s, the loss of the Cup by USA in 1980s and the recent triumph of Alinghi.

You could sign up for having a go at sailing an America's Cup yourself. The ACC booth will take your reservation and you will later turn up to meet the rest of your crew (public like you) on a replica of a 32nd America's Cup boat. You will hear a lot about how the boats function and have a go together to make it work in a controlled environment.

This is a pool with remote control replicas of the 32nd America's Cup boats, where you can have some fun with trying to get the boats move. It is a very educational experience since you have to learn how to control the sail and catch the wind.

The future is here. During the 32nd America's Cup you can try out a vehicle which is sure to replace the bicycles in the not so distant future as a clean "pedestrian transport". This compact two-wheeled platform with a steering bar cobines minimal electric energy with gravity forces to develop considerable speed. You just need to lean and it moves through the change in gravity centre. There will be a small polygon where you can have a go, and you can also participate in an hour-long guided tour of the America's Cup Port where you won't only become adept at controlling these things, but also find out a lot about the America's Cup and the Port.

This is a short installation where you answer some questions on a laptop and determine where your personality would place you in an America's Cup Team. You will also receive a laminated certificate-card to hang on your neck, which will state that "you would be qualified to be X" and then you can pretend you are someone important. You could also demand to take your place on the boat in ACC Experience (see above)

To impress friends back home you could make a photo of you at the wheel of an America's Cup boat, or at the grinder, or at the sails. Naturally, not real. But looks like real. Almost.

The City of Valencia also promises to put on events and concerts during major publc days. They will take place in the amphitheatre, right before the giant screen area. We will update once there is some information, but keep asking at the info points in the Port.
