Get ready for a journey from the Moon to Mars! Visitors can explore the wonders of space through interactive displays and hands-on activities that bring the cosmos to life. Step inside the spacecraft, play with gravity, and navigate the surface of the Moon and Mars. Learn what it takes to live on these distant worlds, from space suits to rovers. Take on challenges like navigating craters, launching rockets, and even trying on a space suit to imagine life beyond Earth. Kids can build their own space station, explore a Martian landscape, and discover the tools astronauts use for exploration.
For the opening weekend of “Moon to Mars,” we have fun activities planned to celebrate the arrival of this traveling exhibit. These are drop-in programs; each takes approximately 10 minutes and are yours to keep.
- Blast Off! Launch into fun by making your own flying Orion spacecraft.
- Red Rover, Red Rover! Flex your engineering skills by building your own moving Mars rover.
