The Apollo 12 Capsule is part of the Science museum and Imax theater.
[Clark W, 07/27/2022]
Majority of things are not working or closed, IMAX is cool. It's more of a fake NASA plane museum. If you're in town, worth a stop, but for cost keep driving.
[Rodney, 08/10/2018]For any space lover or anyone just curious about the worlds afar. Lots of interactive games, puzzles, a few rides, and the option to see an IMAX movie. A small food court is next to the theater if little ones get hungry! Option is available to include a movie with admission. Ride tickets also available at the admission desk. ( Carousel outside the building and can be included with ride tickets)
