Great place. The facilities are very clean, all the exhibits are very well-written and easy to understand for those who dont know much about the topics involved, yet still in depth enough for teaching and entertaining anyone who knows a bit more. I definitely wish I had a bit more time and could come see it without COVID related limitations.One thing that would also be cool to see is the outdoor exhibits being cleaned a bit more since the weather is definitely taking its toll.Id definitely recommend this place is you love space, want to get a scale of how big these iconic crafts are, or even just want somewhere fun to visit. Great gift shop too.

Amazing and affordable experience! Thanks to the Age of Corona, it was virtually empty. There is a full sized disassembled Saturn V rocket inside that will truly make you feel small! Just read up on Operation Paperclip...

We loved this place! Spent about 3 hours there. The outdoor space known as Rocket Park is in need of some serious maintenance, but we were able to get the general idea of most of the static displays. With COVID it was nice to be outside and enjoy that portion of the Center. Only the G-Force Accelerator ride was operational at the time of our visit (COVID). The outdoor area dedicated to the Space Shuttle was well maintained. Worth the trip.

Had a fantastic time here. They had an extra exhibit set up in one of the other buildings that was great... I feel like theyve left a little of the history out of it, but it was nice... Thinking of the space camp for my grandson. If youve never been and you have an interest in the history of space and rockets, it a great 2 to 3 hour outing.

It was a fun day trip. My family had a great time. Everything was a little high priced. $25 for just the museum was a little much. Also one of the employees wasnt wearing a mask and mingling with the crowds. The exhibits outside were great but very run down. For what once looked like a really cool place it was kind of sad. I wouldnt let those things deter you if you want to visit. I would go again.

The Space and Rocket Center is a staple piece of the Huntsville pie. Huntsville is known for its important part in the success of the space program. Some of the most talented engineers and figures in the space program have either came from here or left their mark here and the Space and Rocket Center celebrates these great men and women and their accomplishments. I remember going to work with my Dad who worked on the ISS and being taken here and having the greatest time learning about all this wealth of space knowledge. Its fun for the whole family so be sure to come and see if youre in the area.

The Space Center is a very interesting place to visit. We thought we might get through the whole thing in 3 hours but we were there for many, many hours and still didnt get to see everything. The museum is excellent. The only things that could use some improvement are: some of the signs have gotten worn and are unreadable, some of the exhibits that were interactive did not work, and some of the buildings were a dirty on the outside. Other than that, it was a great place to visit.

If your a rocket aeronautics enthusiast is a most go. Exhibit are well organized. If you buy a ticket online you can skip the live to go in, is a rookie mistake happens to all of us. Completely wheelchair accessible. With the limit of how many people can enter it give more than enough space to walk around and take your time.

Needs some upkeep, missed part of the $8 movie because the sign said wait for tour guide before entering, guide never showed. I expected to see more actual photos and video from space not cgi. Most outside exhibits need cleaning and paint. An audio option would be nice for the money that was paid.

Very interesting to visit. Would recommend. Only did the $25 museum self tour. Worth it. You really cant appreciate the sheer size of these rockets. Really need your support during covid.

Very fun and intriguing for any space nerd like myself. Well worth the admission

Very interesting and informative museum about the early manned and unmanned space flights. Lots to see and read. Plan on spending 2-3 hours here. Some really amazing exhibits and history here.

Rundown, pretty much wasted entrance fee.Cockroach infested, I even have a picture of cockroach on Moon rock.Only one hall of exhibits and one running ride.

Been going here since I was a kid and will keep going as long as covid-19 doesnt shut it down permanently. This is a great place to bring the entire family for an entire day and send the kids to for a week or so. US space and rocket center has a great space camp for kids and is known world wide. It has amusement rides and lots of simulators and cool exhibits. Awesome place for a kid and the adults as well.

Took our son for his birthday today the 29th of November, he is seven and we had a blast! So much information, narratives, and audio/video sources. Also we paid for the visit to Mars which was extra but totally worth it and even our four year old daughter stayed still, lol and watch. I highly recommend the visit and we will be back. Take my advice visit and have a ball with the whole family!!!

Lots of near stuff. Family friendly. Hands on Learning experience. To take everything in your really need min 3 hours. Be sure you hit all 3 buildings. VR was awesome. Outdoor features are a bit weathered. I totally recommend.

Fun and educational experience for the whole family. Some tours get exceptionally busy later in the day so get them out of the way as soon as you can for the best experience .

This museum is one of the absolute best places for family to learn the history of science in the United States. Get a membership, you will not regret it. We have been coming to Space Center for over 15 years and our children love it every time. Last time we got to meet one of the scientists who worked on the Apollo progran back in 1960s. Truly unforgettable.

My wife, kids and I drove from Nashville,Tn to the U.S. Space and Rocker Center. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a fun and educational experience. The Museum was clean and there wasnt a big crowd during our visit, so there wasnt a worry about covid as long as you keep hands cleaned. Staff was friendly and welcoming as well.Due to covid-19, not every building and activity was open, so we didnt get the full experience, but was impressed with everything, but the outdoors portion of the Museum. It seemed like that portion gets neglected and could use a bit of general maintenance. It was still interesting and neat either way.There is a couple Carnival type rides there as well, the only one open at the time was a gravitron type ride, where you get inside of a round structure and you spin to feel higher G-Forces. We had small children with us and opted out of riding it. So, no real review of that, but its there and open, at least while we were there.Overall, it was worth the drive, as we all left with a good experience and memories.

Good museum of US Space program, but expensive. Adults are $25, and its about 2-3 hours to see everything. Lots of unique items: full Saturn V Rocket, Apollo Capsule, Skylab Mock-Up, Space Shuttle & Boosters, and more. Gives a good history and perspective of the tech challenges of the Space Program.(Admission includes both the Davidson Center and the US Space & Rocket Center.)

Definitely not a quick stop. Lots of cool exhibits. Worth every moment you can spare there.

Love the Space and Rocket Center. I was always fascinated about space and the outer limits growing up. Only as an adult was I able to attend the center like I wanted to but it cost, which was no issue for me now. They allow discount for veterans and I was happy to take advantage of it lol. We use to take field trips there every 3 years at my school but it wasn’t enough for me. Unfortunately, as a young black man growing up in a low income area my school did not have the funds to go there every year. Nor could I afford the expensive fee for space camp to attend. Myself as well as other low income students (black, white or whatever) would have loved to go to space camp to learn and experience everything the space camp advertise and provides. Just recently I donated to keep the Space Center from going bankrupt and away. But I was wondering why doesn’t the space center gives out free space camp or nice discounts for the less unfortunate? No matter the race it’s kids of different backgrounds that are fascinated about space just like I was. You never hear about U.S. space and rocket center giving free space camps for area schools. Just like they accepted donations to keep the center going they should offer for the less unfortunate. You never know, maybe the next low income student could produce something for the future.

Amazing place, a ton of history and a lot of fun things. Had the pleasure of talking to a real NASA scientist, Lowell Zoller, and he answered and told us about his time working on the Saturn V rocket. A must go.

Great place in Huntsville, Alabama to spend an afternoon. The place is kept neat and tidy with ample parking space and easily accessible from I565.

Great place to visit with or without kids. They have a kennel for your dog too if needed.

Great experience, but I visited during Corona and there are a lot of restricted areas and many activities are blocked off bc germs. Ill have to go back post-covid bc it seems very interesting and educational

We were visiting family and stopped to surprise our kids. We had a great time. The volunteers were very knowledgeable and extremely kind. Very kid friendly place. We did not buy anything from the gift shop because it actually gave us ideas for Christmas! Im going to order online! Great place to spend a few hours!

Fantastic venue! I brought my parents here when they came to visit and we all enjoyed the Rocket Center thoroughly. There was a great flow to the exhibit and the transition through the displays helped you see the development over time and really added to the experience. Highly recommend a visit and hope to return again with my niece and nephew when they come to visit.

Great...but not the same as before the crisis. Plus, the space station was closed for space camp. Still, its amazing stuff, and worth the trip from BHM.

Wonderful museum! If you are interested in the history of the US space program, this is the place. With lots of hands-on exhibits for kids. Both indoor (with air conditioning) and a large outdoor display which includes a full sized Saturn rocket and a full sized space shuttle. Tickets are $13 per adult and there was almost no one there (in June during the quarantine). Staff are very friendly.

This is a must visit especially for the kids 10-11 and up absolutely had a fantastic experience will definitely be back.some of the out side exhibits where a little well under maintained some TLC, and paint they would be like new. Overall wonderful day spent in Hunstville

I read nothing about this place upon visiting. I was surprised how much it can offer. Passionate and helpful Staff!

Rocket City, some place Ive wanted to go to for years. Im disabled now for a triple spinal fracture. Some things like this just help you feel better. I wasnt able to see the entire facility but loved every inch of what I was able to visit. I have one suggestion and thats to offer Free mobility devices to those who request and require them. I would have loved to have seen the entire facility.. Thanks for a great afternoon..

Could not contain my kids. They were running all over from exhibit to exhibit. Very inspirational.

Worth a visit, but didnt live up to expectations. Didnt see much Apollo stuff, was mostly Saturn V and V-2 rockets. Possibly due to Covid restrictions? At $25pp (adult price), would expect to spend a full day there, but there isnt enough to see for a full days experience. Very well marked for social distancing and great system in place for Covid safety precautions.

It was wonderful.... except that masks were required and some things were closed because of the COVID hoax.

This is simply a must see museum/learning complex.They have a very robust history of rockets as you would expect plus many interactive exhibits.My family spent 4 hours here.We ate at the cafeteria which has decent food.Probably the most impressive are the they Saturn V rockets one of which is most prominent and visible from the freeway. It was repainted in the last few weeks and is stunning.

This was a fantastic trip. The girlfriend and I went on a Rainy Huntsville day and spent several hours there enjoying it. Due to covid none of the rides were operational but we still enjoyed walking around both inside and outside and seeing all the history that was on site. Id recommend this trip to anyone and will repeat this one myself.

Me and my family loved this place!! So much to see and learn!! If your near by definitely stop.

This is a super cool place, and we learned a lot about the history of the space program. They have tons of neat artifacts and vehicles from different eras. They also have a couple of rides out back. Unfortunately, a lot of the interactive exhibits, rides, and playground are closed due to covid. If Id known that I might not have gone, because its quite pricy and Im not sure we got our moneys worth. My kids enjoyed it, though, and Id definitely go back post-pandemic!

Overall very good. Due to Covid portions were closed. It was a good days activity.

This place is AWESOME history and tech in the world of space exploration in how we got our space rockets off the ground. As of the time of this writing the place will have to close down if they cant raise a certain amount by October 2020, due to COVID-19, to keep the museum open. Im hoping in the near future it is still open so that I can take my family to this, I was lucky enough to view it due to a business trip I had. If you take your time here and read most of everything, itll take you 4hr. I barely got through 50% in the 2hrs I had before having to fly home.

Robots from outta space! Rockets to the ! Snoopy suits and the throw-up-o-tron! How much better could this place be!?!?!

Phenomenal experience if you in any way care about the space race. Full exhibits and artifacts from one of the coolest periods in recent history. Cannot miss destination if you are even remotely close to the area.

Love this place! Missed a lot of the exhibits. Cant wait until they reopen them.

Beautiful place, loved the experience. Had a great talk with a volunteer about different types of booster engines. Glad to hear they were able to stay open!

Awesome experience. Free admission for military. I went several times during my stay at Huntsville. Most events were shut down because of covid but still had several exhibition open for me to experience. Would go back again if I were in the area.

Great displays of NASA rockets and equipment! Very interesting info for all ages!

Great place to visit and see the actual Saturn V and for childrens education.Hopefully they still have the space camp for kids.Thank God people generously donated to keep the Space center open.Amazing $ 1.2 million was raised within a week. They are still asking for donations.

An amazing place to visit with plenty of things that can be done and seen over here. The museum showcases rockets, Artifacts of the space programs. Staff is very friendly and place is well maintained.

Great place for fun and learning. We will be back!!!

This center is a wonderful, educational experience for the entire family.

I cannot wait to go back ! We only walked a little way outside because of my back, but we were so impressed with what is there and the extreme importance of the information, displays, theater experience. It was very well thought out, so if you are remotely close please experience this wonderful gift.

Great family trip. Lots of history. Amazing to see the real life size rocket and the replica ones. Need 2-3 hours to walk through. Some things/ exhibits were not open due to virus. Gift shop was expensive but can shop online before going. Outside stuff not taken care of like it should have been. Staff very knowledgeable with history and willing to answer any question.

Its a very nice place to learn about space history and a totally awesome experience , very affordable and would highly recommend to those interested in seeing it.

Really enjoyed my day here with my family. Very happy to see most of the exhibits open even with covid. We wear required to wear a mask while inside but outside could take it off. Really enjoyed the day. Took us about 2-3 hours but really did read a lot. There is for sure some really cool stuff that you cant see just by walking around the outside. Dont get me wrong, there is some cool stuff you can see from outside the fence and not have to pay to get in. It is kind of pricey for sure. $25 for an adult but we really enjoyed the time there. There is a lot of outside stuff so for sure look at the weather. I would recommend it to anyone that has an interest in space.

It is worth the stop. However, there should be better maintenance and information in the outdoor section. The Florida Center is better maintained and bigger. If you are around the area in Alabama you should stop, it is worth the $13 ticket

Best tours, information, and museum too. Plan to spend all day and if you can spend two or three days here. It is that AWESOME!

Start your tour at the Davidson Center. Our group spent most of our time in the older part of the Space & Rocket Center, and while there are great experiences there, the Davidson Center contains the meat of our space exploration achievements. We visited the park on a Sunday and there were actual people with experience in the space program hanging out to answer questions and talk about their observations. The highlight of my day was chatting with Luke Talley, who worked for IBM on the Saturn Instrument Unit. A-W-E-S-O-M-E! We ran out of time before we could get a good look at all of the displays in the Davidson Center.All of the staff we encountered were courteous, friendly, and helpful beginning at the ticket counter, through the ISS mock up, the Mars Grill, and guiding us through a spin on the G-Force.Expect a bit of theme-park inflated prices at the Mars Grill, but the food will make you forget about that after you give it a taste. I had a grilled chicken sandwich which was a hearty hunk of breast meat. I was able to fix it to my specifications at the condiment bar. I also had a bite of my wifes hamburger and it was tasty.I cant say enough great things about the wonderful visit we had at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. So much history and technology are at your finger tips. Go for a visit and plan to spend the day!

We did come here during this extreme pandemic. My son loved the experience. This is an expensive camp however if your kids are inclined towards STEM plan ahead and make them attend this camp.

We have been here twice and really enjoyed it both times. We highly recommend the G Force ride! The planetarium show was also fun. There are lots of engaging and hands-on exhibits, even a small rock climbing wall for kids. The restrooms were clean and the staff was knowledgeable and courteous. Its fun for all ages!

Fantastic place to bring the family! Multiple full-size Saturn v rockets one of them is inside and broken into its components. Suspended overhead gives you a incredible sense of appreciation for the US space program size and grandeur.Outside is a plethora of other surface-to-air weapons, air to ground weapons, rockets and the awesome SR-71 Blackbird! Top it off with a Space Shuttle and you have a terrific display of technology!

Visited this facility a couple years ago. Lots to do, lots to visit and lots to see. Very impressive! Highly recommended!

Can I give it 6 stars? I absolutely love this place! My girlfriend and I went to Huntsville for a business trip and went to the Space and Rocket Center just to fill time. I didnt know what to expect walking in, but I was blown away by everything I had. We loved it so much were planning a trip back to Huntsville for the sole purpose of visiting the Space & Rocket Center again.

Nice place to spend a couple of hours, very interesting and suitable for all ages. Docents are very kind and knowledgeable. Totally recommend it!

My wife and I went to the US Space and Rocket center in Huntsville Alabama yesterday!We really enjoyed it very much, we spent around 4 hours there and didn’t see everything. Our favorite thing was the planetarium, Paul gave us a great presentation!I would definitely recommend this to everyone at any age!

Great museum, good social distancing and cleaning implemented, amazing exhibits and fun outdoor area, with plenty of interactive exhibits highly recommend visiting

Great location close to the highway. This location has many different types of space exploration items. There are other types of stores and businesses located in and around the area.

Visited on a holiday weekend during the Covid pandemic so Im being generous with this rating. This place has a story to tell, but it doesnt come across. Some additional docents would definitely help.

This is a wonderful piece of history and science, friendly staff too!

Such amazing rockets and displays. Even with the reduced interactive displays, we still had a truly awesome time. Very educational and a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this even during these trying times.

My daughters second home. Sometimes I think shes happier here than Disney! Its quite a bit different right now (screw you covid) and it takes a lot less time, but every person is helpful and pleasant, with so much information.

Still cool. But not as cool as it used to be. Lots of stuff not on display that should be, neat mars planetarium presentation. Will be back certianly.

Was really disappointed to see mostly models, and almost no authentic pieces. They also removed some of the launchers due to maintenance. Overall, it is always fun to see space equipment, and the original Apollo 16 capsule was neat. As well as the Saturn 5 exhibition which is super impressive (and obviously there is no way to put an original one).

Cool place to see how it was done back then.

I was here in 2008 and boy have they improved it! The best part is that they have actual rocket scientists who worked on the mighty Saturn V answering questions and making one live their amazing history and achievements. Dont miss out on the bus tour for a look at what theyre currently working on.

Great place to bring the family. So much fun

Amazing, spent almost 4 hours here and enjoyed every bit. Would definitely go again

The US Space & Rocket Center is a must see if you have any interest in rockets or space exploration. They have a Mercury V rocket, the lunar landing craft, the Pathfinder and more. Sadly, like everything else, COVID has really reduced the experience. About 1/2 of the exhibitions are closed which are mostly the things that the kids like to do. I would have given 5 stars if it was fully open.

I remember coming here as a child. Its a neat place to check out, but they charge way too much for entry

An okay experience today. I will say the admission price was a little steep for what we got to see. The Apollo exhibit they have was really cool but the lighting was horrible and you could hardly read anything because of the shadows. After that we visited the ISS mock-up and Shuttle park before heading over to the other building. I would like to say they lack water fountains and want you to buy water for $2.25 so plan for that. :(. The Saturn V park was closed because of wet paint which was a huge disappointment. The Saturn V building was probably the best part of the museum. Little disappointed that they did not have anywhere to eat for those who bought their own lunch. We found a shady spot near the dog kennels and immediately got attacked by mosquitoes. They were pretty bad! Overall an average experience. Went on Fathers Day so it was free admission for my dad which made it worth it.

I liked it a lot. Recommend to all

Wow, great place to visit and check out history of our mission to put a man on the moon. Lots of great information, and the movie was really cool too. The rockets are just unbelievable!

This is a great place to visit..it was so interesting, and I especially liked seeing the history and timeline of the Saturn Rocket, and the U.S space program

This was a good place to take children to learn about space. They have a few games activities children and adults can enjoy. I would say it is a good one time trip.

Had a great visit. On our way to orange beach. It was a beautiful day

This was an awesome space center. The first building you walk into is super cool and gives the history of space flight with plenty of interactive exhibits and games. Then you get to walk around outside and see some actual airplanes and retired space machines - including the space shuttle complete with rockets! There are also two Saturn V rockets, one outside and one in its own building. You dont realize there will be a ton more exhibits in the Saturn V building until you get there. This building was definitely the coolest part of the museum and takes you through what it would be like to go up in space. Incredible! I would definitely return here.

So much fun. Great experience for all ages!

A lovely museum. I learned a lot. Its well laid out and clean. Walking around is easy and there are handicap accessible walkways if you need them. Those that work there are more than happy to explain certain things and talk with you.

We had a great time visiting. My 5-yr-old was entertained the entire time. There were so many different activities/exhibits to see, we ran out of time before we saw everything (we had a previous engagement). We decided to purchase an annual membership for only $28 additional for our family. We can visit museums all over the country with our membership. We love that active military are recognized and my husband entered for free! Thank you!

Came often as a kid and was excited to bring my family now. With the new building and so much added it was practically new to me too! The facility is well done, so much for all ages. Only disappointment was we arrived shortly after opening like 15-20 minutes and the Bus tour was sold out.

I havent been there in a while, so this trip with the grandson was wonderful. Will be back soon.

Very large museum with lots to see - plan to spend the whole day here. There are indoor and outdoor exhibits, with things to see and interact with for people of all ages. In the Saturn V hall, there are always folks walking around to answer your questions and educate you more on the exhibits youre checking out.

Nice room, employees more than willing to assist. The woman at the bar was way nice.

We love the US Space and Rocket Center. COVID has hurt this beloved piece of history and endangered their ability to continue. This is a non-profit and got no aid during the pandemic shut-down, not even the payroll protection. They were not eligible because of their non-profit status. This is not an amusement park - it is a museum that captures our American legacy in space. Please help them raise the funds needed to stay open.

Wonderful Experience!Would highly recommend going especially now! We went on 8/5/2020 and there and it was almost completely empty. So if you are afraid of the social distancing thing, you going to be just fine. I think there were more cars from workers than guests. I counted about 20 cars in the lot when we arrived at open. No change when we came out at lunch or when we left in the afternoon.The workers were all very nice and happy to answer questions.Please go, buy things and have fun!On a side note, they are really struggling for cash to keep the operations going, so please go visit and support this amazing place!Also, we camped near by and it was also mostly empty. Hiking trails were empty. Essentially, you can go and have a great time and not worry about social distancing at all. Beautiful hiking. All around, fantastic trip.Just watch out for the couple random speed traps as you get close. They almost got us in a speed zone where the speed limit dropped for no reason other than generate income from tourists. We support the police, just prefer paying their salaries via taxes.

Who would have thought... a random place in the middle of Alabama was pivotal for space exploration and NASA! I never knew space call was real either but here it is!! This place eas so cool with many great exhibits. If space is fun for you, this place will be too!

Very cool place to visit. Many cool and unique displays. Great information around every turn. Could visit here daily for a week and be able to soak up all the vast knowledge. I want to go back.

Awesome experience! SO much history to learn. Only drawback was lack of places to sit along the way inside

I finally got a chance to visit the Space and Rocket Center and found it well worth visiting. Youll learn about Alabamas critical role in the space program both past and present while getting up close and personal with rocket technology of all sizes and purposes.Dont miss the 8K planetarium shows, it is absolutely stunning!Some of the outside displays could use better maintenance and presentation but it by no means ruins the experience.I took advantage of the combination admission which includes general admission + one planetarium show.Enjoy your mission!
