If your kids haven’t been to the Discovery Center downtown lately, now is a good time to schedule a visit.
During the coronavirus shut down, the staff at the Discovery Center worked diligently (and creatively) to update several of the activities and exhibits, and you’re going to want to check them out.
They’re especially excited about this quarter’s exhibit, Astronaut Academy, opening October 3 and closing January 2.
“We worked with several outside agencies, including Lockheed Martin, to put this wonderful exhibit together,” says Exhibit Supervisor Kate Messenger. “There are various hands-on activities that focus on the past, present and future of space travel and exploration.”
The exhibit includes a scaled model of the Orion space capsule, a replica of a portion of the International Space Station (that the little ones get wheeled through to get a feel for what it might be like to be on the ISS) and an area to send their own golden record.
