With the goal of making space travel as accessible as air travel is, the New Mexico Spaceport Authority is one of the world's first commercial spaceports built specifically for this purpose. Visitors can't get a more authentic experience anywhere else; the fun, hands-on activities inside the commercial space launch facility will entertain visitors of all ages.
The interactive space exhibits that journey through time are both educational and entertaining while the spaceport site that lies in New Mexico's desert is visually stunning. There are opportunities for visitors to experience what the astronauts feel in a G-Shock simulator, take memorable photos in front of the iconic Gateway to Space terminal and hangar, or to buy some souvenirs in the on-site gift shop.
