If you ever wanted to know MORE about the amazing U.S. Space Program, you’ll be over the moon about the US Space & Rocket Center in nearby Huntsville. Operated by the government of Alabama, this enormous hub of all things space has been called “Earth’s largest space museum”. Within the vast halls and exhibit spaces of the Center, you can see items from the infamous Apollo Program, interactive science exhibits, Space Shuttle exhibits, aircraft and rockets.
The US Space & Rocket Center is set among land carved out of Redstone Arsenal just beside the beautiful Huntsville Botanical Garden. From here, you can take a tour by bus of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, try out the Apollo Virtual Reality simulator, G-Force Accelerator, or Flight simulator—and that’s just the beginning. Space Camp programs for kids, movies and shows, the I.D.E.A.S. Lab, Scuba experience, and even Family Astronaut Training.
It’s a galaxy’s worth of fun, learning and entertainment. We love being so close to so many great neighbors here at Oakland Springs in Madison.
