My wife and I come to Tennessee every Thanksgiving for the last few years(from DFW) and have been…read morewanting to come and do some shopping, but found that they have tours so we decided to try a tour. She as a kid had visited a town in Pennsylvania and absolutely loved her experience. So we decided to experience the different faction since we're here in Tennessee. It was a great experience. The tour was extremely informative. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable about their way of life. The Amish are friendly as well. When you pass them in the roads they'll smile and wave at you. At first I wasn't sure if that was ok. But, when I saw them do it I was like oh ok, I guess it's ok. We bought some jams, peanut brittle (it's like crack, seriously!), wife bought a basket which you can tell the craftsmanship that went into it. She didn't buy it from IKEA or Home Goods. It's really good quality and for a really reasonable price too. We also bought some chocolate chip cookies(my favorite cookie, and they're so good!), some sweet pickles, pot holders, and can't remember what else. Spent a bit of money. But, money well spent. The prices for everything is very reasonable. Not at all expensive from the families while you're on the tour. Everything is hand/home made. And so far from everything we've tried have been extremely pleased with our purchases. Remember to bring cash! No CC/debit machines on the tour.

Unbelievable precise portraits of African American ordinary residence of Huntsville at that time leave you impresion that they like to communicate with you. Thank you Gina who provide to us a wonderful full hour tour. Your enthusiasm was visible and we left the Museum with the impression that we fulfill our goal to learn more about American history and history of Huntsville.

I have visited here twice on field trips with my students. I love this museum! There's so much to…read morelearn and if you're into science like me, this is definitely your place. There are self-guided tours, guided tours for groups and hands-on classroom experiences. You can meet an actual NASA scientist, learn about our solar system in the planetarium, and enjoy the various rides that are included with admission. There are other fun things to do but I believe those events/rides cost extra. You can even enjoy lunch under the trees or in the food court area inside. Pro Tip: Plan to visit at least two days to take it all in! It's definitely an out of this world experience!

If you have even the slightest interest in space, this place is a must-see!…read more The U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville is the largest space museum in the world -- and it shows. From the moment you walk in, you're immersed in the story of humanity's journey beyond Earth. The exhibits walk you through our humble beginnings in rocketry, the intensity of the Space Race against the Soviets, the tragedy of Apollo 1, and the evolution of technology that eventually put humans on the Moon. You'll see command modules, landers, rovers, military applications, the role animals played in early testing, quarantine procedures after splashdown, and in-depth looks at International Space Station and Skylab. And then there's the jaw-dropping moment when you enter the massive building housing the fully displayed Saturn V rocket. It's hard to put into words how enormous and impressive it is stretched out above you. Seeing it in its entirety is worth the visit alone. We easily spent five hours here -- arriving shortly after opening and leaving about an hour before closing -- and still felt like we could have spent more time reading and exploring. There are over 1,500 artifacts on display. Every corner has something fascinating. One of my favorite parts? Actual rocket scientists were onsite at the Saturn V exhibit, ready and excited to answer questions. Talking to people who genuinely worked in the field adds a depth you just can't replicate with signage alone. I also highly recommend catching a show in the planetarium. We saw the presentation on the James Webb Space Telescope, and it was incredible. Pro tip: get there about 20 minutes early and line up. The shows are popular, and early arrival means better seats. Bonus -- you can bring in popcorn, candy, soda, or Icees if you're feeling snacky. Parking is huge and well organized. While they cap attendance each day at several hundred visitors, we had no issue getting tickets. The onsite cafeteria looked large with several food options. I noticed vegetarian choices but didn't confirm vegan availability. If I had one small critique, it would be that I wish there were even more actual flown-in-space artifacts. There are some, but many displays are trainers and simulators. That said, I understand that many space-flown items aren't recoverable, so replicas and trainers make sense. I also appreciated that the museum doesn't stop in the past. It brings the story into the present, covering modern space ventures like Blue Origin and SpaceX. Bottom line: this place is absolutely worth the trip. Plan for at least four hours -- five if you really want to dive in. There is so much to read, see, and experience. Space nerd or not, you'll leave inspired.

The play area was clean and in decent shape. Everything was working. We don't live close enough to need a membership, but they seem reasonably priced. Admission was $12 per child, no fee for adults. I thought this was fair for what was offered. You do need to book a play slot ahead of time. The first slot of the day is 10-12:30. A chicken coop, fast food restaurant, ice cream shop, bank, grocery store, house, nursery, veterinary clinic, and fishing area with a climbing structure were the main play areas. They also had dress up, a large mouth for pretend brushing, a little car, a lite brite, and some wall activities. My daughters are two years old and six years old. Both had a great time and found plenty to entertain them. Kids will definitely love this spot. The location on the square is perfect for lunch or shopping afterwards.

There's a cooking/restaurant, pediatrics, "bank" but really nothing but the fun air shoots in there, a vet, a giant mouth to brush teeth, a chicken coop, a store. Enough to keep some children entertained for the two hours! But. It's lacking a lot. So if your kid is over 4 they will question (for example) why there's no scoop to scoop the ice cream and why the ice cream doesn't fit in the bowls provided. My 7 year old kept saying it was "so random" as she went to various stations that were missing obvious items. I'm not sure if they wore out and they haven't replaced them or if it was lacking to begin with. But my 4 year old ignored the missing items and mostly spent her time with the babies. Also.... The toys could definitely use a good wipe down.

Having lived here all my life I was surprised I didn't know exactly where Wernher von Braun's Home…read morewas! Built for the von Braun family in 1958, he and his family moved to DC in 1970 and the Space and Rocket Center bought it in 1970. It's been owned by two families since. My sister and I drove to it last Monday and really enjoy the quick peek we got of it from the street. It is a mid-century modern, 2,633 square-foot house with a breathtaking combination of its original vogue and modern updates that respect its late 1950s design. This is from the article about it in the Redstone Rocket [https://www.theredstonerocket.com/news/article_e83fb8f4-1bb2-11ec-aa2c-978461564317.html] If you look the home up on redfin there are numerous phots of the home and property, including his concrete fallout shelter in the back yard, built in the days of Cold War when Huntsville's rocket braintrust was a prime target. [from Al.com https://www.al.com/news/huntsville/2014/12/wernher_von_braun_historic_hom.html] Big Cove road is quite windy and it has no shoulders. There is nowhere to park or stand and get a good photograph. Also, it's occupied so it's not like it is a museum. It's certainly worth a look though to get a glimpse into the life of this rocket pioneer who had such a huge impact on Huntsville, and the USA!
