The Coca-Cola Space Science Center, Columbus State University's science center and museum at 701 Front Street, runs a summer academy for students ages 8-18 covering space science, engineering, rocketry, robotics, 3D design and printing and drones. It is built as a multi-year, progressive pathway of age-appropriate stages: students can join at any stage, though the center recommends attending as many as possible for the full sequence. Staff experts guide campers through STEAM-based design challenges.

★★★★★Myrtle WeberThe Coca-Cola Space Science Center provided an exciting and educational experience with fascinating space exhibits, interactive displays, and a welcoming atmosphere throughout the visit. The museum offered a great variety of exhibits focused on astronomy, space exploration, and science education that made the experience enjoyable for both children and adults. I especially appreciated the planetarium presentations and the hands-on interactive exhibits that made learning about space feel fun and engaging. The spacecraft models, simulators, and educational displays were thoughtfully designed and visually impressive from beginning to end. The staff members were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about science and astronomy, making the visit even more enjoyable and informative. Everything throughout the facility appeared clean, organized, and professionally maintained. This is definitely one of the best family-friendly educational attractions in Columbus and highly recommended for students, science enthusiasts, and visitors of all ages.
★★★★★Erika LanceWe went with our Cub Scout pack and had a great experience. Ross was very helpful booking our group experience and made it super easy. Delta was our instructor for the air rocket class, and was very patient and kind with the kids. We even got lucky and got to meet a couple of the guys that helped with the Artemis II launch! Everything was super interactive for the kids, and gift shop was very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.
★★★★★SaDaria JacobsWent with my Cub Scout Pack 155 and it was amazing!! Still as awesome as when I was a kid. Go!! Take your entire family for good, clean fun! Science rocks!
★★★★★kelsey davisCan't recommend this place enough! We were lucky enough to speak with the executive director during our visit who gave us a personal tour of the observatory. The museum itself is awesome with lots of artifacts from rockets and previous space missions. There are a couple of simulators and a really cool planetarium that makes you feel like you are really in space! This center is doing amazing things and it was so neat to hear about it! Lots of famous astronauts have come through here. We learned that several Columbus students are doing big things in space science! This visit reignited my love of space so much so that I purchased a telescope when I got home!
★★★★★AndresIt’s a really cool place to visit. It’s a short visit, but definitely worth it. We live in Johns Creek and were in the city just for the weekend, so we decided to visit the museum. We were very excited to see all those parts of space history. All the staff are very friendly, especially Brigitte, she was very kind to us.
