Apollo 12 CSM, " Yankee Clipper" resides here on display. As part of the rivalry between the all Navy crew, and the all Air Force back-up crew, playmate photo's made it into mission checklists.

Some of the interactive exhibits were being fixed. But, overall, great place for both adults and kids . IMAX theater is HUGE, great prices if you are purchasing with a ticket. Military/Spouse disc.

Nice, some displays need fixing. Still informational, and clean .

Vanessa Scott

Great place to stop in for a visit.

Cory Greenberg

Great museum but a lot of their stuff was outdated or broken. Sort of sad because it had so much potential.

Libby Norcross

Awesome public parking garage just caddycorner from the Center!

Joanna Poe

Checked this out because we were staying at the Crowne Plaza and are aerospace nuts . It's really not for adults. Skip it unless you're with kids 6-12. Also, many interactive exhibits are broken.

Eric Wynn

This place is great.

Brenda Sach

A lot of the interactive exhibits were not working. For the price of the admission, they should work.

Chris Calderon

A lot of cool stuff, but so much of it is broken, it was kinda disappointing.

Sometimes it is simply too loud, other times not, but considering most theaters charge an arm and a leg for 3D movies, the price is great. Also, see Pacific Rim in IMAX!!! - Vanessa Conley
