PEZ BOOTH #p82
Wanna have a blast? Stop by the Cosmosphere’s booth to check out original consoles from Historic Mission Control from NASA'S Johnson Space Center. Take a selfie with “Steve” our life-sized astronaut or say “cheese” with our astronaut photo cut out. Find out how much you weigh on the Moon or Mars with our amazing planetary scale! Spin to win fun prizes – you could win a wild and crazy ride on our Multi-Axis Trainer – it simulates the disorientation one would feel in a tumble spin during reentry into the Earth's atmosphere! Whoa! Plus, did you know a lot of these activities are just a small example of all the fun and exciting things you can experience in Cosmosphere Aerospace Camps – available for second grade to high school and beyond. Check us out at cosmo.org!
What is the Cosmosphere you ask? The Cosmosphere International SciEd Center & Space Museum includes a collection of U.S. space artifacts second only to the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, and the largest collection of Russian space artifacts outside of Moscow. This unique collection allows the Cosmosphere to tell the story of the Space Race better than any museum in the world while offering fully immersive education experiences that meet the Next Generation Science Standards and introduce students to the power of wondering—asking the critical questions that lead to discovery. The Cosmosphere also features the Carey Digital Dome Theater offering documentary showings daily and recently-released feature films on weekends; the newly renovated Justice Planetarium and Dr. Goddard’s Lab, where visitors experience live science demonstrations daily.
