Don’t miss “Destination Moon,” the one-of-a-kind exhibit on display at the Space Center Houston! This special show comes to town in partnership with the National Air and Space Museum and Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and showcase the historic landing module from Apollo 11!

Come experience this iconic spacecraft that coined the immortal phrase “the eagle has landed” and brought humanity to the moon’s surface. This spectacular exhibition at the Space Center Houston is the first of four stops on a tour that marks the module’s first time leaving the Smithsonian since 1971. Related artifacts on display include Buzz Aldrin’s visor and gloves, Michael Collins’ Chronograph watch, and a spaceman survival kit. The Space Center Houston is already the permanent home to the module from Apollo 17, the program’s final space mission, so don’t miss your chance to see the historic bookends to humanity’s only visits to the moon in one special show!

If you feel like escaping Riverwalk Apartments in Houston, Texas for the day, this event is a perfect opportunity to do just that!
