Spaceship in Mars, PA

I had been wanting to visit the spaceship in Mars, but after checking Roadside America and reading a tip that it was no longer there, I got worried! Don't fret -- I found it. It's out of this world!

For a while it was hovering near the library, but for the past few years it has landed in a small park in the center of town.

Saucer Gone, Space Shuttle Substitute?

Followed the updated directions, was unable to find the space craft, but there is a large space shuttle for kids at a nearby church.

That saucer has to be somewhere in town...but nice news about the play space shuttle.

Little Martian Spaceship

This listing for Mars, PA has a photo of a little spaceship in the small town park. I went by there today and the spaceship is not there anymore, and I did not see it around town. The four-way sign post is still there, however.

September 2007: The spaceship is still there, it's just been moved (see new directions).
