This waterside museum delves into the fascinating topics related to the last frontier. The Space Theater in the Hall of Astronomy features mind-boggling Omnimax shows on an immense screen that wraps you in 360 degrees of celestial panorama. You'll also find a massive planetarium with a 75-foot domed roof as well as hands-on exhibits that let you ride a virtual para-glider or feel what it's like to walk on the moon while learning about the history of astronomy. The museum is as fun as it is entertaining as it is educational, and great for children (and adults) of any age.
