Admission

Humans first walked on the Moon fifty-five years ago! Today, rockets are already beginning to bring passengers on their first flights to the Moon. In Moonbase: The Next Step, you’ll learn about efforts to establish a permanent, scientific outpost on the Moon. With extreme temperatures and radiation, reduced gravity and toxic dust, all 230,000 miles away from home, it will push our technology, our bodies, and our minds to the limit. We have already taken the first steps . . . but what will it take to continue the adventure?

Recommended for ages 9+; 21-minute show plus Q&A. Advance reservations are encouraged.
