Future astronauts explore the Martian surface at KidSpace in the Davidson Center for Space Exploration. Young explorers slide across the Red Planet’s rocky surface, “lift off” in the capsule and test their logic skills at the game walls. This play area is for children up to 46 inches tall

Young astronauts are able to crawl around in the International Space Station (ISS)! Buckle up and blast off – gently – to the moon on our Lunar Lander simulator. Dream of docking the command module to the ISS. Crawl into the rocket and picture being launched to the moon. This simulator is for children up to 54 inches tall. Must be accompanied by an adult.  

What does a rocket launch really feel like? Three, two, one, liftoff!

Biergarten is back! Bring your friends and family to the Davidson Center for Space Exploration on select Thursdays from Aug. 4 through Oct. 27 for Huntsville's favorite German Biergarten. This evening in the Saturn V Hall features a festive atmosphere, authentic German cuisine, drinks and live music. Entry is $5 for each guest over the age of 5 with food and drinks available for purchase. Want to skip the register line for food? Opt for the Autobahn pass for $25, which covers your entry, meal (1 entree and 2 sides) and a non-alcoholic beverage of your choice. This is a family-friendly event. We hope to see you for this one-of-a-kind event. Where else can you enjoy a schnitzel under a Saturn V rocket? **Alabama Department of Public Health regulations stipulate that only service dogs are permitted inside the Davidson Center for Space Exploration during the event.

This interactive space allows visitors to become engineers as they work on design challenges featuring a selection of activities that inspire students of all ages to use critical-thinking skills to solve problems and realize they, too, can be inventors.
