To say we love the Challenger Space Center would be an understatement but there is no adjective to really describe how much we enjoy visiting this great museum!
The volunteers, the staff, and the sponsors have created a mecca for science and space lovers. And even if you aren't that into space and science, you will find something interesting and enjoyable to see at the center.
My son attended their Space Camp this past summer and it was very professionally done. He went on two space simulations where they got to go to Mars and the International Space Station. He got to learn how rockets are made and actually shoot them off on the roof of the building. He learned about solar energy and made a solar box to make smores. It really worked! He had an absolutely blast and is looking forward to going back this summer.
We loved the program so much, we had his birthday party there and did a space simulation. All the kids had a great time and still talk about it today!
We recently went to a workshop with actual NASA Astronauts who shared with us their personal videos and experiences in space. It was amazing!
I can't say enough great things about the Challenger Space Center and I hope you will go check it out sometime soon!
