Om
Raske fakta: More than 300 interactive exhibits let visitors launch rockets, control a tornado, and navigate a simulated NASA mission. The center sits on the shores of Lake Erie and houses Cleveland's only giant-screen theater with a six-story dome.
Høydepunkter: Upstairs in the NASA Glenn Visitor Center, you can touch a real piece of the Skylab space station and see the actual Apollo 7 command module up close. The polymer science lab lets you make your own silly putty and watch liquid nitrogen freeze a rose solid in seconds.
Insidertips
- The giant-screen theater has assigned seating, so grab center rows about 15 rows back for the best dome immersion.
- Skip the cafe and walk five minutes to West Side Market for pierogies and fresh fruit at better prices.
- Wear layers: the polymer science lab gets toasty from the experiments, but the theater runs cool.
- The Steamship William G. Mather is included with admission, so don't miss the engine room tour on the 618-foot freighter docked outside.
