About this event

Habitot’s Space Station Experience is a STEM-embedded hands-on discovery play experience that will inspire a new generation of astronauts! Kids will don astronaut suits and helmets and pilot the Rocketship while budding space engineers will manage the command center at Mission Control. Challenges in space include making repairs outside the rocketship, navigating the space voyage, and fueling the ship for their chosen destinations.


Nearby in the Maker Lab, children can build their own rocketships and test their designs in our air-pressurized Rocket Launcher.


There’s even more play and learning in our Art Studio, an Imagination Station for more maker projects, and a Sweet Stars area just for babies.


We’re grateful to CenterCal Properties for making our temporary space available!
