From Rocket Launches to the James Webb Space Telescope
Many of our visitors come to Florida’s Space Coast to see a rocket launch or visit Kennedy Space Center.
That inspired us to create something special.
Our Immersive Universe surrounds you with spectacular imagery from space, including images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.
Projected across the walls and floor of our large immersive room, the experience lets you journey through the Universe in an entirely different way.
It’s a natural complement to a day exploring America’s Space Coast.
And the Universe is only the beginning.
Three Immersive Experiences. One Visit.
