January 17 – February 22, 2026
Journey through our cosmic neighborhood as the Solar System Encounter returns with new ultra-high-definition imagery from the James Webb Telescope. Guests step inside a 360° galaxy of colossal planet models, glowing light effects, and immersive displays of the Sun, Earth’s moon, Saturn, Pluto, and more. The experience continues with hands-on “Launch-tivities,” including meteorite demos, Alka-Seltzer rockets, heat-lamp planet experiments, and guided science presentations by NASA Solar System Ambassador Dr. Bob on select dates. Visitors can also explore the Cube’s space-themed exhibits such as Artemis Adventures, the Rocket Lab, and the Planetary Research Station for even more STEM-inspired fun.
Included with general admission.
