About the event
Discovering the Space Age
Planetarium Show & Rocket Launch
Step back in time and experience the incredible story of humanity’s first steps into space. The planetarium show Dawn of the Space Age will transport you from the launch of Sputnik to the monumental lunar landings. This immersive, staff-favorite experience brings history to life like never before.
In the planetarium, we will also discuss the current space race between the United States and other nations as they strive for a presence on the moon. This engaging conversation will provide a unique perspective on the future of space exploration.
After the show and discussion, enjoy a popular hands-on activity—rocket building and launching! Design, build, and launch your own lightweight foam rocket that can soar over 100 feet high. Test your agility by trying to catch it as it descends!
