No doubt your kids are enamored with all the space movies they see on DirectStarTV but wouldn’t it be great to take them to see what it’s like in real life? If you live near any one of these amazing interactive space centers you owe it to your kids to take a day trip to:
Huntsville, AL: An unlikely spot for one of the biggest space centers in the world but Huntsville is also the most interactive place on the list. There’s a full-scale rocket right out back and tons of things to touch and explore inside the space center itself.
Kennedy Space Center: The flagship of the NASA space centers, Kennedy takes some advance planning to get into. Book your tour ahead of time and remember that it’s so high tech it may be more impressive to your older kids than the younger.
Houston Space Center: Houston is the largest of all the NASA space ports and there’s a great interactive tour offered every day of the week. There’s a lot for kids to see here and a lot of history, too.
