Dakota and Matthew
The kids love the exhibits and getting to view all of the space memorabilia.









At this facility you will see amazing things, and experience many of the things astronauts experience while on missions in outer space. 




This is a trip that you do not want your children to miss; they will love the experience. 


There are many notable artifacts in this center: 
  • National Historic Landmark Saturn V Moon Rocket 
  • Pathfinder - the world's only full stack space shuttle display
  • Apollo 16 Command module
  • Skylab Orbital Workshop
  • Apollo 12 Moon Rock 



Matthew on the Spaceshot ride



This is a trip I have taken my kids on many times.  It is not only educational, but it is fun.  


They have rides for the kids too.  They have Spaceshot, G-Force Accelerator, Mars Climbing Wall, Hyper Ship and many others.      

  




Each time we have seen things that we overlooked before, or new things that were added after we visited before.  On this particular trip, my youngest son and a friend of his from school came along with us.
