Epic Space Exhibition Appearing at Da Vinci Science Center

The blockbuster exhibition Space: A Journey to Our Future is appearing in the northeastern United States for the first time at the Da Vinci Science Center at the Da Vinci Science Center in Allentown, Pa., now through Sept. 7, 2014.

Sponsored at the Da Vinci Science Center by Air Products and the Dexter F. and Dorothy H. Baker Foundation and presented in collaboration with NASA, Space brings the epic and innovative story of space exploration to life.

Highlights for Da Vinci Science Center visitors include exploring a future Lunar Base Camp as they walk through a full-size space habitat and work pod; touching real rocks from the Earth’s moon and Mars; taking a spin on a centrifuge that they can power like a bicycle; getting an up-close look at a wide range of artifacts and displays on the new spacecraft that will takes humanity back to the moon and beyond; and exploring the past, present, and future of space through breathtaking displays and interactive experiences.

Space introduces audiences to the dreamers who have risked their lives at times to give people better understanding of who they are and how they fit into the universe around them. Visitors also can get to know explorers who are working today to understand more about planet Earth, the universe’s origins, and if there is other intelligent life in the universe.

The Space exhibition is included with summer admission to the Da Vinci Science Center. The Center's visitor hours are from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays and from 12-5 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets can be purchased at the door or on the web at www.davincisciencecenter.org/tickets.
