The US Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville has several artifacts and exhibits on display all about the US space program. Enroll your kids in the US Space Camp when you are here, and they will learn about space and space travel through lectures, training exercises, and simulators.
Montgomery Zoo is another great destination for kids, as you can introduce them to several types of endangered species and exotic animals. Spanning for over 40 acres, the zoo is home to more than 500 different animals. As well as the chance to spot zebras, giraffes, hippos, and jaguar cubs, the park also offers play areas and a museum to educate the little ones on the importance of wildlife conservation.
