The Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL is only a 2.5 hour drive from Nashville. You bet your moon rocks we took a side trip!
If you’ve been living on another planet, you may not be aware that this is the home of Space Camp, every indoor kid’s dream summer getaway. While I never went, I did watch that movie A LOT, so I was excited to be here in person. (And they were even playing the movie inside the museum! “John Glenn winked at me!”)
The museum was excellent, of course. I especially enjoyed the life-size models of the space station modules where you could push buttons, turn knobs, and just generally pretend to be an astronaut. Was it meant for kids? Probably, but who cares?!
