The Saturn V rocket alone is worth the visit, but since much more space history inside to see and discover. Plus a German themed food event with a biergarten is there on Thursdays for a limited time!

Suspended from the ceiling is the most powerful rocket ever built and is considered one of Americas Seven Wonders, the Saturn V. It is on the Nat'l Register of Historic Landmarks .

Great family time and vacation . We enjoyed ourselves

Correction: the Saturn V rocket is not suspended from the ceiling . It is cradled in supports anchored in the ground.

Probably, the best attractive place in Huntsville. Try simulations.
