SPACE DISCOVERY
Explore the planets, train like the astronauts and land a shuttle on Mars. In our space discovery zone, the galaxy is your playground.
ASTRONAUT TRAINING GYRO
This 4-person gyroscope will spin and rotate in multiple, random directions as it simulates the effects that outer space has on humans. Experience the feeling of weightlessness and the rolls and tumbles that astronauts feel when they are conquering missions in space.
For Your Safety:

Space Suits Provide:
- Stable internal pressure
- Mobility
- Supply of breathable oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide
