Join us this Spring Recess for our annual Astronomy and Space Week!


Do the Space Shuttle Shuffle!
To celebrate the history of the Space Shuttle and National Astronomy & Space Week, come join us and learn about how the Space Shuttle contributed to space exploration! After exploring the museum’s Space Gallery with authentic pieces from the Space Shuttle, young visitors are invited over to the Family Activity Area to create their very own make-and-take Space Shuttle Craft! Take a walk through the Solar System to see some of the missions NASA has sent off Earth and leave a message for future explorers. Finally, young visitors can learn the new dance phenomenon sweeping the Nation, our Space Shuttle Shuffle!
