Relive History of the Space Age


From the launch of the first artificial satellite Sputnik, to the magnificent lunar landings and privately operated space flights, re-live the excitement of the early days of space exploration. Immersed with historic reconstruction of man's first steps into space, this film tells the story of the people that took part in these death defying endeavors. Witness their drive, their passion, and their perseverance to launch into new frontiers, in "Dawn of the Space Age".

If you have a timing conflict, a large group to accommodate, or want to view a specific show, consider scheduling a private show.

Some shows may not be appropriate for young children due to loud noise and darkness.
