Welcome, Astronaut!

Your mission begins now.

Report to Astronaut Briefing to prepare for launch, then make your way through the Science Center as you complete astronaut training, engineer a lunar rover, uncover the stories behind our historic telescopes, and take on hands-on challenges inspired by real space exploration. Collect stamps in your Mission Log as you complete each mission, earn a prize, and cap off your journey with immersive planetarium shows that transport you from Earth to the far reaches of the universe. Recommended for kids and families.
