  • Amazing small museum for space, science and technology lovers. If you’re looking for a day out with your kids or new home schooling information about moon landing, space shuttles, satellites, mars expeditions and more, you’re right here. They offer great content and interactive games for kids of all ages. It’s a small museum and you will need maybe 2-3 hours to go through all things, but it’s worth it!
  • A great little experiential space museum that's fun for all! There's a ton of great historical displays, plenty to touch and manipulate, and cool things for kids like a space craft room or a Mars rover Lego mindstorm robot driving room. Can easily spend hours here, and it's a great price
