Saturday afternoon we went down to the Heinz History Center to see the Destination Moon: The Apollo 11 Mission Exhibit with the actual capsule from Apollo 11 and a piece of the moon. Charlie and Michael had fun trying to use the pincers to collect “moon rocks” and they got to experience what it was like inside the capsule. The amount of interactive parts in the exhibit were much appreciated and enthusiastically enjoyed. There were books you could write your memories in about where you were when the men landed on the moon, fifty years ago.
Excellent exhibit.
You are so right, Toni.
What a fun exhibit for kids interested in all things space related.
Let’s hope it inspires this young generation to pursue scientific endeavors!
The picture with Mr. Rogers made me sigh inside – miss him in the world. Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us Ruth.
We all love Mr. Rogers and miss him, too. ❤️
The children must have had a lot of fun being actively involved in the interactive exhibits. What a great way to learn about the early days of space exploration!
Yes, it was a lot of fun. Thanks Peter.
I really love interactive exhibits, even as an adult. I get bored just looking and reading. This looks like a great one for all ages. Fifty years already? Really?
Fifty years, really!
Interactivity is the best! Looks like a very cool exhibit.
It’s traveling because they are refurbishing its home Museum
