Admission Information
Join us for an exciting evening featuring a special talk by astronaut Fred Haise, who will join us remotely to share his incredible experiences from the Apollo 13 mission and his insights on space exploration. Following his presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session, where they can ask questions and gain further knowledge about his journey in the cosmos. After the interactive discussion, immerse yourself in a live planetarium show that will take you on a breathtaking journey to our moon and others in the solar system. Plus, we'll have a lunar meteorite on display for you to touch.
Fred Haise will join remotely thanks to the support of STEAM4SPACE, a nonprofit organization that teaches kids about the history of NASA mission patches.
Learn more about the Apollo 13 mission by watching "Apollo 13: Home Safe." Fred will discuss this mission and then invite the audience to ask questions about his experiences. You can also submit your questions in advance.
This event is recommended for audiences ages 10+. Light refreshments will be available.
