13 Incredible Space Museums in the U.S. Every Traveler Should Visit

"Opened in 2022, this museum was Pennsylvania's first space museum as well as the first in the world to focus on inspiring young people to pursue a career in the modern space industry. The museum is located within the headquarters of Astrobotic, a company that builds lunar landers for NASA and commercial clients. Through a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, visitors get an unobstructed view into a real spacecraft clean room, where lander models like Peregrine and Griffin (which will one day land on the moon) took shape. Interactive exhibits simulate the arc of a modern moon mission—from design to surface landing—while highlighting real-world career paths in aerospace." - Iona Brannon Iona Brannon Iona Brannon is a journalist with a love for food and travel.

What a wonderful new museum! How exciting it is to see actual work done that has gone and will go into outer space and the moon, right in the heart of Pittsburgh! The museum is informative, interactive, and fun for all ages! The people who work there are very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing this new and exciting endeavor of returning to the moon! Check it out! It's just the right amount of time at just the right cost, too!

Wonderfully done in an interactive format that's engaging for kids. Adults learn too. Get to watch the making of a future moon lander and learn of Pittsburgh's role. Not a large museum, but very interesting. I would recommend going.

Fascinating place to watch engineers and scientists work. The museum is small, but the video and chance to watch engineers work are well worth it. They also have a number of fun activities for kids. The ticket price is affordable for a small museum. Go there first and get $3 off the Carnegie science museum. The lunar lander will be leaving soon and they will start working on a larger lunar lander.

Small but mighty museum with passionate employees ready and able to answer any questions. We saw Griffin 1 halfway through completion. It’s a real lunar lander that will reach the moon at the end of 2025. This museum is a great complement to a day at the Carnegie just a few blocks away. 1 hour is enough to see and do everything here.

The museum is short but the plan is audacious. This is what we need. I worked in aerospace and I would still be doing it if we were doing things like this. Bravo

Great hidden gem on the Northside! Very cool to see a Landrover in progress. So much great information packed into one small, but growing museum. Very affordable and short activity for families. Parking in their lot on weekends, you do have to find other parking on weekdays, but it's in a very walkable area. Staff is very friendly and full of information! Attached to the Astrobotic building.

Our summer camp had a great experience at Moonshot Museum. The museum makes space exploration and related careers feel approachable and relevant to children of all ages and interests. The interactive exhibits were very engaging and the staff were welcoming and attentive throughout our visit!

Museum has kids in mind more than adults, but you get to see AN ACTUAL MOON ROVER BEING BUILT!! Like, that’s worth the $10 admission alone! Also, free your inner child! We learned SO MUCH from doing the interactive activities. Easily one of the coolest experiences we had in Pittsburg, hidden gem for sure!
