You and your guests will enjoy exclusive use of Habitot’s Space Station Experience for two hours. Kids will don astronaut suits and helmets and pilot the Rocketship while budding space engineers will manage the command center at Mission Control. STEM-embedded activities and mission challenges will inspire a new generation of astronauts!
There’s even more play and learning with creative activities in our Art Studio and maker projects in our Imagination Station (especially good for older children). A Sweet Stars area just for babies/early walkers features a baby ball pit and a space-themed storytelling felt wall.
