We took our Scouts’s and cubs they absolutely loved it
MoreDisplays were extremely interesting. The history of the space race was great as was all the rocket capsule displays. I was disappointed with the planetarium show about the black hole. The girl doing the orientation had a whiney voice that was difficult to listen to. The entire presentation was oriented to elementary children. I do not recommend it at all. But the museum was extremely interesting and I really enjoyed it.
MoreI had no idea there was a space museum in Huntsville, AL.If you get the chance, this is a must see!We did the adult combo which included an interactive planetarium show. Excellent:)Staff is very knowledgeable & willing to answer questions & talk about US Space:)Rockets, rockets & more rockets! Interactive exhibits for all.Rocket park is amazing.Highly recommend!
MoreVery cool and great place to take photos. Great to take the whole family and nice interactive activities for kids.
MoreThis is an awesome museum with so much information. It’s all done well and the docents are very knowledgeable. We saw many children groups and families there with plenty for them to see and do. They have something for everyone.
