This was a nice experience. There was a tour guide. She was fun but did forget some names but made it funny. There are different areas of the entire visit which are in different buildings. There is a cafeteria which the food was good and service was even better. There was lots to view.
You couldn't ask for a better place to take your kids! They have so much to see and learn, but even more to do! There are videos, movies, hands on exhibits, and actual artifacts from old space missions. And Space Camp is worth every penny. I've been twice so far, and I have every intention of coming again!
Good exhibitions. Nice presentation of the ISS. They have a walk-in replica of the ISS. The rocket building was absolutely impressive! They have a nice souvenir/gift shop.
The reason for the 3 stars is due to the fact that the IMAX theather is in really deplorable conditions. Many seats are torn out, with the seat surface gone and exposing a BIG portion of the internal foam of the seat. The foam was all nasty, thus presumably they have been torn for a while.
If it wasnt for the bad IMAX theather, my rating would have definitely been higher.
Had fun. Took dozens of photos. Saturn 5 was there in all its glory. Tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful
Such an exciting place w so many interactive exhibits, space camp, rocket park, and the Saturn V moon rocket five feet above you in the museum.
50th Anniversary of the LUNAR LANDING!!
Awesome day!
Great fun for the whole family. A treat for our state.
A must see. Interesting displays, a bus tour, very knowledgeable guides. A rv park on the grounds and a few blocks from the Botanical gardens. Cost is about what I expected.
Interesting, lots to explore even with restrictions related to COVID.
Growing up in Huntsville, it can be easy to lose site of how historical and awesome the US space program is. We Space & Rocket Center never fails to impress, with Museum artifacts and displays dating from the 1950s to present. It truly is amazing to see some of mankind's most dazzling and gigantic engineering projects on display in full size. A wonderful opportunity to provide inspiring and mind-boggling education for the whole family.
The place is great. Just needs a bit of a paint job!
This is the Huntsville land mark. Restored Saturn V rocket is here. Space Camp is here. They fire our 4th of July fire works here. It is a museum covering historical achievements and future plans of the US space program. Visitors must visit here.
This is a great place to take adults and kids! Lots to do and see.
Had a great time there! Wonderful place for the family
It's a great experience if you're interested in space and the history of rockets.
Easily noticeable from road in normal traffic. A huge exhibition centre covering entire history of flight and space. Highly informative and educative. Many interactive exhibits. Requires more than one day to really imbibe all the information. Has movies, simulators, etc related to space and rocketry. Has a full size space shuttle. Accepts debit and credit cards. Excellent for children. Has free parking lot. It is a very enjoyable experience for the whole family. Has an excellent cafeteria.
Really cool place to visit. The Saturn V rockets are massive by themselves. They have an sprinkling of other missile/rockets to look at and a ton of hands on things for kids of all ages. They have a variety of movies and experiences for an extra cost. If you have a child interested, they offer space camps a couple of times a year.
Great fun for the family. The rocket ride was fun, we did it 3 times. Told Gabriel and he made sure we watched a different movie each time.
Great place. Dont forget to attent Planetarium seans.
Great place to learn rocket science and technology and engineering.
Always a great time. One of the best museum stores I've seen.
Helpful, friendly staff and fascinating exhibits,. It's geared towards kids, but even for an engineer who grew up around the Smithsonian it's worth several hours. Cool events in the evenings, too, especially the planetarium. Outdoor displays are a bit threadbare.
Incredible visit. Lots of shows and things to see and touch. Super thur night dinner. Tours were very informative. Fun for all ages.
Great fun rides and learning about the space program and so much more!
The Saturn V building is incredible. I hope they can get donations to update some of the older buildings as this is something we should all be proud of.
Great museum with wonderful exhibits. Only downside is you have to travel outside between buildings. It was raining the first part of our day and HOT the second half, so be prepared according to the weather.
It is really fun to look at all the space stuff. There is a ride called the G force and it is awesome.
Lots of history and space stuff. Had lots of fun here
Fantastic museum and the campground is very reasonable, I would not hesitate to return. I had a great time.
Great displays indoors, outdoors they have let the displays get run down and rusty. If you have children, a must visit. If you are older and your children have moved out, get ready for a wake up call.
A fantastic monument to America s space history, present, and future, the U. S. Space and Rocket Center is an essential visit for any true fan of space exploration.
Nestled in central Huntsville, you can t help but be drawn to the iconic Saturn V replica that commands the local vista more than the mountains created by nature. The museum features an eclectic mix for everyone, with static displays, interactive exhibits, guided tours, a cafe, gift shop, an IMAX theater, and more. They even have kennels located just out the main entrance so your pup can safely relax while you channel your Inner Astronaut.
Huntsville isn t necessarily on the beaten path for many people, and it s not necessarily a destination city on its own. But the US Spacecsbd Rocket Center is well worth the trip - you won t be disappointed!
Nice place to be. Kids are thrilled with many things to play and visit. Food inside is pricy though. There is water cooler to refill your water bottles.
Pretty fun! Lots to look at and fun rides! Took more than 5 hours to see everything!
Everyone was amazing. Staff answered all of my 4 year olds questions about rockets and space. They had so much patience with him. He already wants to go back for another visit!
Wonderful place. All aspiring kids and even adults with interest in space should go. Very well preserved and maintained.
Awesome grandson very pleased with great memories for a lifetime
Cool place but planitarium was broken which was not so cool. One of the things I traveled from Tennessee for but oh well.
There for Space Camp and had my mind blown with the amazingly kind nurses, crew trainers, and guest speakers. Not to mention the sprawling campus! They have separate buildings for Aviation Challenge and its rides like the Centrifuge. Worth a trip when you get a chance to.
Great place, lots to see and do. Stopped in on the way to the beach, realized we need to plan a whole day around it to enjoy the place properly.
I do ever enjoyed our trip to Huntsville Al. Every child should visit the U.S Space and Rocket center.
If you like rockets then you need to see this place! I only had a couple of hours but could have stayed much longer.
Icon of Huntsville and a place to see some of the most significant history of mankind
We had fun with our 2yr old. Overall really nice for all ages.
It was definitely worth a visit. Lots to see and learn with interactive displays and attractions. Massive gift shop but quite expensive.
Rundown, pretty much wasted entrance fee.
Only one hall of exhibits and one running ride.
Worth every nickel what a great experience to see what America did &can do again.SOON it put ppl.to work
Very big museum. We couldn't get it all done on our trip. It deserves a revisit. Lots of hands on for the kids.
I went here on an school trip from Australia, the activities and education were all good, my only complaints are that the rooms were really really bad, and the food was not up to the quality that it should be, but other than that pretty good camp.
It brought out the kid in me. There for sure is something for everyone in the family. I mean it's a freaking space center, what's not to love! I highly recommend the IMAX feature, truly inspirational, and educational. Staff are super friendly, and the veteran scientists answering guests' questions were just amazing.
P.s. don't forget to ask for student discount if you're a student!
This is the most informative "museum" I have ever been to. Walking up you read the info on the planets which gets you in the mood. There is a wonderful room with inventions created near or at the site. There were so many wonderful things. Then there is an area for children with science and math exploration exercises. The rest of the place is filled with so much information it took me 4 hours to get thru it. I love this place. It is also the home of Space Camp. See it, you won't regret the time spent if you are a space nut.
A Very interesting and important part of our Nations history... could spend all day there..BUT THEY WOULD NOT HAND OVER THE SPACE SHUTTLE KEYS OVET TO ME...TOLD EM I'VE BEEN HIGHER THAN THAT THING FLIES..HAA HA HAAA...
Very cool static displays as well as awesome space artifacts to be seen. This is the history of our space program.
Rocket City, some place I've wanted to go to for years. I'm disabled now for a triple spinal fracture. Some things like this just help you feel better. I wasn't able to see the entire facility but loved every inch of what I was able to visit. I have one suggestion and that's to offer Free mobility devices to those who request and require them. I would have loved to have seen the entire facility.. Thanks for a great afternoon..
Excellent, love everything about the museum, would definitely go back and see it again.
This is a very cool museum! The Apollo Exhibit was up during our visit (there were several spots at this exhibit that said "coming soon" or that had the ramps closed, seemingly for some form of construction? which made seeing all of the features hard bc we were utilizing a double stroller). The rest of the museum was stellar (pun intended). My husband and or oldest daughter loved looking at as much as we could before it was nap time for our 2 kiddos. I took away 1 star bc EVERYTHING is so expensive. We arent stingy people but man the souvenirs were very pricey. We will be going as often as we can before our daughter turns 4 bc after that we wont be able to afford going as a family.
The center was very cool. However, the signage needs updated. Since stuff is closed due to covid, the planetarium was hard to find.
Great time! COVID-19 risks minimized as much as possible.
