Rocket Day At The George Observatory

The Houston Museum of Natural Science presents Rocket Day At The George Observatory!

Bring your junior Rocket enthusiasts out for a day of rocket launches and a mission to the Moon! Kids learn about rockets and how they work, build a water rocket and then launch it. After the launches, we blast into space aboard the S.S. Observer for a simulated spaceflight.

Kids become astronauts and use teamwork and problem-solving to accomplish their mission.

Fun for all!

The Challenger Center will be open for children and adults to sign up to fly on a simulated space flight to the Moon. Usually only open to groups with reservations, for this special event, individuals can sign up to participate.

The mission is most appropriate for ages 7 and up. Children ages 7-9 need an adult present.
