The U.S. Space and Rocket Center<\/h3>\n

We had a fantastic day at the\u00a0U.S. Space & Rocket Center<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0in Huntsville, AL. My kiddos loved all of the interactive, hands-on exhibits. The Center actually has one of the largest collections of rockets and space memorabilia anywhere in the world so it is a great place to take kiddos and teenagers of all ages.<\/p>\n

In addition to the awesome, interactive museum, the U.S. Space and Rocket Center offers Space Camp and many other programs for children and families (Read more HERE<\/strong><\/em><\/a> ). My kiddos are actually in a 5-week program at Space Camp where they are learning to be astronauts and learning about Missions to Mars.<\/p>\n

About the Center<\/h3>\n

According to the Alabama Tourism Department<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, the U.S. Space & Rocket Center is Alabama\u2019s Number One Tourism Attraction. My kids were fascinated with all of the exhibits and attractions.\u00a0 We were told that we could see everything in about 2.5 hours, but we were there for 5 hours and the kiddos didn’t want to leave. I recommend comfy shoes!<\/p>\n

There are guided tours that run throughout the day, but my kids were so excited to see everything, we saw the museum on our own (at our own spastic, ADD pace). I would like to do a few guided tours on our next visit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Main Entrance<\/h3>\n

As we were entering the Center, we could see the Pathfinder with its\u00a0main engine nozzles, external tank, and its two rocket boosters.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below: One of the kiddos favorite things at the museum was the Mars Climbing Wall. This climbing wall has easier climbs on the left and the climbs get progressively harder as you move to the right of the wall.<\/p>\n

The kiddos have to wear close-toed shoes for the climbing wall. I recommend wearing tennis shoes (not cowboy boots like my daughter).<\/p>\n

Some of this area is not open to the public because the simulators\u00a0are reserved for the Space Camp groups. We were able to see the simulators from a platform or ramp area, we just couldn’t enter and use this area.<\/p>\n

The Space Shot allows you to experience a lift-off and\u00a0feel 4 G\u2019s of force. And once you reach the top, you can feel a few seconds of weightlessness. This attraction is included in the price of admission.<\/p>\n

There is a covered play area outside called Kid’s Cosmos Energy Depletion Zone. Once we stepped inside, we could see that this area includes a small space station play area and a mini\u00a0Space Shot.<\/p>\n

The Rocket Pod<\/h3>\n

The Rocket Pod<\/strong><\/em><\/a> simulator was a huge hit with the kids. We were the only ones in the simulator when we watched the video, but it can hold up to 20 people.\u00a0 This simulator moves gently as we watch a video, and the video we watched took us into space for an adventure\u00a0and back down to earth. (FYI – It didn’t make us sick and the operator told me that he hasn’t had anyone get sick from the motion of this ride.)<\/p>\n

In Review<\/h3>\n

I took a lot of pictures, but I honestly feel like they barely scratch the surface of all the things there are to do and see here.<\/p>\n

Our entire family loves this museum, and I highly recommend visiting the U.S. Space and Rocket Center as a family.\u00a0 It was a wonderful, educational experience for all of us.\u00a0 My kiddos used to dream of being astronauts and now they love to learn about space exploration.\u00a0 This was the perfect day trip for them, and we completely impressed with our experience here. It is well worth the trip and the cost of admission!<\/p>\n
