In light of the current government shutdown, we want to show our support and appreciation to those impacted. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is proud to offer 50% off general admission for all furloughed government employees and their families. This discount will be available for one week only, ending on October 13. That means admission is just $15 (regularly $30) with a valid government ID! Come explore the wonders of space and science with us!
