Private
The Space Foundation Discovery Center on Arrowswest Drive in Colorado Springs runs the Explore Space Experience, a summer program of hands-on, immersive space and STEAM activities designed and led by certified master teachers. Sessions are held indoors at the Discovery Center and can be booked as either full-day or half-day, and the most recent published age band is 9 to 12, though the program has been offered to ranges as wide as 7-13 in past years. Lunch and snacks are not included.

★★★★★Rebekah JimenezWe went on a Saturday and had a BLAST! It was very interesting and so much fun. There were tons of things to touch and experiment with. The docents were so friendly and helpful, even when my kids rapid-fired questions at them.
★★★★★Erwin ThomaI Like it and the 20 min Showroom was very good.the men Show US the whole planets and explaine all
★★★★★Dan CunninghamWe took 3 elementary age grandkids to space day. It was surprisingly fun, the kids had a good time, and I found myself needing out over the educational quality of the unique space museum pieces. The event featured lots of hands on activities for kids of all ages, including robotics and VR experiences. Parking was well marked and directed. No costs for anything but the food trucks. The space foundation knows how to host events.
★★★★★Laura PughFascinating, informative and interactive. Learned so much about space exploration! Be sure to catch the Science on a Sphere show. Ed, the volunteer who led the show, was helpful and had so many cool stories and facts to share. The drone area was amazing. Driving a Mars Rover was fun. So many ways for kids and grownups to learn about space. Every staff and volunteer was helpful. Plus, there's a discount for teachers!!
★★★★★Alexandra KingSo much learning and exploration to behold here! You can drive rovers on “mars”, fly drones, explore real rockets ships, make kinetic sand structures, make 3D printed astronauts and buttons, launch a paper rocket, do a scavenger hunt and many other activities. We’ve been multiple times, and taken friends, and it’s always been fun while educational!
