Rockets.

US Space and Rocket Center

US Space and Rocket Center is also home to the Space Camp. Viewing the many space artifacts and displays can take some time, depending upon your interest level. Lots of rockets and historical accounts of the early space and rocket programs in America. The displays are suitable for people of all ages, and an excellent family destination. The admission fee also covers entrance to the IMAX theater, and a bus tour to the Marshall Space Flight Center, which is nearby.

There is a drive to save/restore one of the last remaining Saturn V Moon launch rockets, which is viewable at the center.
