Museum hosting space adventures

Space Adventures are happening at the Museum of Discovery through Jan. 6. Few topics capture people’s imagination as well as today’s space exploration and its companion space adventures from books, television and movies. Some might say that today’s space explorations are the outcome of stretching our imaginations with Flash Gordon or Luke Skywalker. Relive these adventures of the past and encourage intergenerational sharing as children and adults explore their favorite Space Adventures of today and yesterday. Admission: $8 adults, $7 children (1-12) and seniors (65+). The museum is located at 500 President Clinton Ave., Suite 150.
