U.S. Space & Rocket Center

The U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville is a giant museum all about rockets, astronauts, and outer space. It is home to a towering Saturn V moon rocket that you can walk right underneath.

It is world famous as the home of Space Camp, where kids train like real astronauts. People love the hands-on rides, the spinning astronaut chairs, and the true story of how Huntsville helped send people to the Moon.

Rockets

You can see real rockets and a full-size Saturn V lying on its side, longer than a football field. Looking up at the engines makes you feel very small.

Space Camp

Kids get to try astronaut training, like a chair that floats you around and simulators that feel like flying. It is fun and teaches teamwork.

History

Huntsville is called Rocket City because engineers here built the rockets that carried astronauts to the Moon. The museum tells that amazing true story.
