The Christa McAuliffe Space Center is one of the coolest (and most unique!) things to do in Utah! They offer interactive missions in their starship simulators where you become part of the crew, solve problems and explore space together. It’s so fun for birthday parties, family reunions, group dates and more! Plus, they offer summer camps. Mission experiences range from 2.5 to 5 hours in one of six simulators.
Don’t miss their planetarium and laser shows too! Explore the universe through immersive full-dome experiences or enjoy a laser light show set to music.💫
