Steve’s take
Huntsville built the rockets that put Americans on the moon, and the Space & Rocket Center has a full-size Saturn V lying on its side outside the building like it's no big deal. The museum has flight simulators, a space shot ride, and enough actual NASA hardware to make you realize your cell phone has more computing power than the Apollo missions. This is also where Space Camp lives — your kid has seen the movie. They will beg. You will consider it.
