NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor Center, named in honor of Dr. Robert Goddard, the "Father of American Rocketry," has been at the forefront of space and Earth science since its founding in 1959. Goddard’s core mission is to expand public understanding of the Earth and its environment, the solar system, and the universe through space-based observation and scientific discovery. The Earth Science and Space Science galleries are open to the public during regular visiting hours and feature a wide range of interactive exhibits, special events, and educational programs. Visitors can enjoy a self-guided tour through NASA’s rich history and current initiatives, including highlights such as the Hubble Space Telescope: New Views of the Universe exhibit, Science as Art, and a display of a Gemini spacecraft. Guests of all ages can attend lectures, watch model rocket launches, and participate in hands-on children’s activities. Whether you're a curious child or a lifelong learner, there's truly something for everyone at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor Center.
