Alabama played a major role in our space exploration and the Rocket Center is a MUST visit!!! Children and adults alike will have a great time.

for a space and rocketry enthusiast, I was amazed and throughly enjoyed my visit. The center is a showcase for what Ameicans can achieve when we put our minds to a task.

If you have an interest in aviation, particularly air space travel this is your place. For the cost we were slightly disappointed, but there is a lot to see. Rides are included and movies are an additional fee. It is neat to go just to get perspective on the smallness of the space capsules and the hugeness of the rockets.

My husband and I visited the US Space and Rocket center recently while on vacation. Our total stay took only a few hours. The admission fee is $20 for each adult for the basic admission package (no movies). My husband was very interested in the exhibits and in all of the rockets and weapons that are on display outside.

We are locals now and had to hit the center. It's a great sightseeing visit. The exhibit was the Woolly Mammoths which was great [now gone though]. There is so much to do outside and inside.

There's a moon rock in a... More

I visited the Rocket Museum and learned so much about the space program. We took the bus tour to the see the Redstone test site and the Space Station lab. They had several movies to pick form and we selected the movie about Hubble and I found it to be very interesting. The Space program is such an important part... More

The US Space and Rocket Center has one of the best collections of space memorabilia in world. I highly encourage families to visit the Rocket Center. To fully appreciate the Rocket Center, you have to take your time with each exhibit. Yes, there is the Saturn V and the Shuttle stack, but please take the time to examine small things... More

We visited the USSRC in conjunction with our child attending Space Camp. The museum is fun and informative. The rides are fun. I didn't see the IMAX films, but my space camper got to see all of them - none are bad, she says. Everyone should take a chance to visit and stay for a camp if you can.
