Huntsville, AL: Space Camp from $369

Stand under the “full stack” of a space shuttle, experience G-Force, and journey to Jupiter in the stellar birthplace of the rocket ship.

Head to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center to experience three times the force of gravity in the spinning “G-Force Accelerator.” We did this in May and would suggest NOT eating immediately beforehand. Stand under a “full stack,” consisting of the Space Shuttle, an external tank and two rocket boosters (Huntsville’s the only place in the world where it’s permitted), and maneuver through space aboard the “Journey to Jupiter.” The Center also features the Spacedome Omnimax theater, which plays documentary footage of astronauts in orbit, and a virtual tour of the Space Station under construction.
