Great museum on space history.

Loved this museum. We got the opportunity to see a night sky show in the planetarium on constellations. It was very neat. Be sure to check out the shuttle landing simulation.

Without the movie, 1-2 hours. We had 3 kids with us, 9, 10 and 18. One was very interested. The others not as much. If we just had the one, we might have stayed longer.
