Exploring Space & A New Frontier
All week long, the Moon 2 Mars Festival will be celebrating the innovative technologies that allow for programs like NASA’s Artemis missions, which will land the first woman and first person of color on the surface of the moon in the coming years.
Visitors can get a glimpse of cutting-edge space technology by diving into virtual reality activities, plus they’ll have an opportunity to meet with NASA astronauts and start a training crash course in the Future Astronaut Training Kid’s Zone.
Tickets to the Moon 2 Mars Festival will also include access to Space Center Houston’s main exhibition halls, so you can take full advantage of your out-of-this-world trip by exploring many of the museum’s notable exhibits and booking a tram tour while on campus.
