Visitors will be able to design and launch their own  rockets, observe a variety of astronomy-focused stations, and learn about forces and friction with hovercraft rides (Mondays through Thursdays only).

Space Week activities are included with general admission or membership, unless otherwise noted. 4D theater and planetarium shows are an extra $5 each.
