Activity packets for Scouts!
To use during a Stargazing Evening or Planetarium Show.

The Space Place is a 2-hour interactive program for little ones with big imaginations! Designed for children ages 3 through 6, the program features age-appropriate activities designed to teach preschoolers about our planet and solar system.

Interactive activities include learning how astronauts live and work in space, including eating and sleeping in very tight quarters. Our youngest astronaut wannabe’s will make their very own space helmets, sing space songs, watch engaging videos, and create memory journals to take home.

This big adventure for little children even includes a gentle simulated shuttle launch in our on-site simulator! Finally, we’ll answer (in a nice way of course!) that question on the minds of everyone: so, just how DO astronauts go to the bathroom in space?
