Adults can learn and discover new things at our center, too!

Our planetarium shows offer an immersive experience that transports you to the stars, while our museum provides a plethora of knowledge that is sure to teach you something new.

This is a hidden gem! Not a high-budget operation, but my kids had a blast here! We all thought the space shuttle tire was cool, and enjoyed watching the tour of the ISS. The kids especially loved the room with the giant foam blocks and they built their own space station. We also loved the planetarium and interactive exhibits in the second building. There was plenty of information to read and take in for adults and kids. We spent four hours here, and we totally got our money’s worth. My kids love building and space, though, so I imagine most families would probably be satisfied after about two hours.
