Astronauts Aboard
Friday, January 11, 10:00am–2:00pm
In the early days of space exploration, American astronauts were launched into space by rockets and then landed in the ocean, where they were retrieved by U.S. Navy ships. Astronauts Scott Carpenter, Gus Grissom and John Young walked the decks of Intrepid after their space missions over 50 years ago. Learn more about space exploration by viewing the space shuttle orbiter Enterprise and the Museum’s artifacts. Explore the historical spaces of the ship, see exhibits with a Museum educator, and enjoy hands-on STEM activities all about an astronaut’s journey into space. Space-themed apparel welcome!
Homeschool Day admission is $10.50 for non-members and $6 for Museum members. Space is limited.
Registration opens on December 14, 2018.
Registration is required for all homeschool programs. Some activities have limited space.
