U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame

Visitors of the US Astronaut Hall of Fame can live the human side of space at the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame, complete with the sights, sounds and experiences of the famous astronauts who first ventured into the frontiers of space. Visitors may experience exhibits dedicated to the nation's astronauts, including the world's largest collection of personal memorabilia.

Visitors can also explore a rare collection of astronaut artifacts and see remarkable displays, exhibits and tributes dedicated to the heroes. From Wally Schirra's Sigma 7 Mercury spacecraft to stunning glass etchings that line the Hall of Heroes, the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame celebrates the accomplishments of astronauts everywhere. There are exhibits offered at the Hall of Fame that every member of the family will enjoy.

For those who want to put themselves to through the paces that separate NASA's best from the rest, the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame also features an interactive simulator and hands-on activities that offer a true taste of space. Among them are the G-Force Trainer, which simulates the pressure of four times the force of gravity, and a space shuttle landing simulation. The center is open from noon to 7 pm, seven days a week.
