Every time you look up at the night sky, you are experiencing a bit of space. It’s interesting to know that here on Earth, we are just a small part of the universe as a whole. If space is an interesting subject to you and you live in an apartment in Downey, then you should definitely make some time to visit the Columbia Memorial Space Center.

What’s great about this museum is the fact that there are exhibits that can be enjoyed by those young and old alike. Some exhibits include Rockwell Signature Blocks, a real astronaut suit, gravity well, magic planet, robotic arms, robotics lab, solar system designer, shuttle simulator, and so much more! Be sure to plan a day to visit this museum.

The Columbia Memorial Space Center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. The museum is located at 12400 Columbia Way, Downey, California 90242. Admission to the museum is free for Downey students.
