Facility Rental

The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is a truly unique venue, showcasing America’s historic achievements in space exploration alongside our many hands-on exhibits and interactive displays.

Companies can step outside the boardroom with an off-site training session or team-building event in one of our corporate classrooms, the Educator Training Facility, or Aviation Challenge.

Enter the Saturn V Hall in the Davidson Center for Space Exploration and stand beneath one of the “Seven Wonders of America” — the Saturn V rocket. Take a ride on Mars, feel weightless in mid-air, and create memories that last. Our simulators bring guests as close to space as the real thing.

Wedding Ceremonies and Receptions

The inspiring view of a National Historic Landmark — the Saturn V rocket — elevates any wedding reception to out-of-this-world status.

With more than 100 years of combined catering experience, our professional events staff can guide you through every stage of planning, from the first conversation to the final toast.
