Inside this 250,000 square foot educational complex, you will find over 400 space artifacts, permanent and traveling exhibits, and various experiences and theaters related to the 'exciting future and remarkable past of America's human space-flight program.' The educational emphasis sits heavily on STEM and it 'uses space exploration to inspire wonder and interest in science and math'. The things you will find inside are designed to engage adults and children alike with exhibits such as the Space X Falcon 9 Rocket, Starship Gallery, Astronaut Gallery, Mission Mars, NASA Tram Tour, Films and Live Presentations, International Space Station Gallery, and much more.
