The Children’s Science Explorium is taking you and your family on a guided tour of the Kennedy Space Center!

 The CSE Edventure Team will be traveling on a chartered bus starting at 7 am (check in is at 6:30) and returning at 10 pm the same day. This is a family science adventure specifically structured as a parent/child experience.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Our knowledgeable staff will be explaining in detail: 

1. The science of rocket propulsion and the history of the space program in the Rocket Garden while sitting with the Redstone, Atlas and Titan rockets that put our first astronauts into space.
2. The Apollo missions to the moon while walking along side of the biggest and most powerful rocket the United States ever built in the Apollo/Saturn V Center.
3. The history of the shuttle program while inspecting the real shuttle Explorer.

Two IMAX Theatre shows are included in the admission: 

“Space Station 3D” – Narrated by Tom Cruise, this 3D film puts you right in the middle of a massive international undertaking as Astronauts and Cosmonauts construct the International Space Station 200 miles above Earth. 

 “The Dream is Alive” – Get an insider’s view of the intriguing Space Shuttle program. Filmed by Shuttle Astronauts and narrated by Walter Cronkite, this film captures the awesome beauty and thrilling sensations of space flight, as well as the daily business of living and working in space.
