500 Tours Astrotrek Weekend is a unique learning experience that students and teachers will love.  Students learn about the space program and it's importance in their everyday lives.  They learn about the history of the space program and the men and women that helped make it what it is today.  Students will experience actual astronaut training simulators (we try not to have them scheduled right after lunch) and many other "hands on" activities.  They will see what former Astronaut and Senator John Glenn referred to as "the finest collection of rocketry in the world".  Students will experience all this in one action packed weekend.
 

When you travel to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center with 500 Tours, you know you're with the best.  Your group will be assigned a space camp counselor.  They will guide you through your weekend adventure so you can enjoy the trip.
