On Saturday, July 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas will host Moon Day, a special event held in conjunction with the National Space Society of North Texas. Come and experience a full day of family-oriented activities, demonstrations, and programs, marking the 46th anniversary of the first manned Moon landing (the actual landing was on July 20). Over 25 exhibitors will offer fascinating displays and activities such as a close-up look at a meteorite, robotics demonstrations, space art, re-creating Moon craters, and a SAFE look directly at the sun through specially-equipped telescopes.
The first 200 children to arrive will receive a free “Lunar Sample Bag” courtesy of Moonlite Printing & Graphics of Carrollton, full of magazines, stickers, activity books, posters and other materials of interest to space flight enthusiasts of all ages.
In Scouts? Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts can meet various badge and pin requirements through participation in specific Moon Day activities. No registration is required, and the qualifying activities are presented throughout the entire day.
Museum admission is $8 per adult and $5 for kids. Kids 3 and under get in free. The museum is at 6911 Lemmon Ave. in Dallas. Update 7/17/14: Save on admission by picking up this Groupon – two admissions are $16, or four for $16. A good deal if you have more than one adult going.
