   Get ready!  Space Adventures lands at the Museum of Discovery, Sept. 29 – Jan. 6, 2008. 

   Few topics capture the imagination like space exploration. From science fiction books to the cinema, space exploration thrills and excites all ages. Re-live space adventures of past explorers like Princess Leia, Tom Corbett or Flash Gordon and encourage intergenerational sharing as children and adults explore their favorite Space Adventures of today and yesterday.  

   Space Adventures encourages visitors to learn about space exploration through interactive stations.   Visitors can build a moon base, a space station or a robotic arm.  Games and quizzes test visitor’s knowledge and challenge them to create an accurate space timeline or match the toy to the film.  Guests can design an alien, space costume or even a robot.  Space Adventures is an exhibit for all ages. 

   Space Adventures is sponsored by Bank of America and Alice 107.7
