Military Family Program - Deep Space Exploration

Military Family Programs are for current and former military service members with children ages 3-18. These two-hour programs include a hands-on tour of the Museum, experiments and design challenges intended to engage the whole family. Join us before the program for refreshments and casual conversation. 

Deep Space Exploration

Learn about Intrepid’s contributions to space travel through multi-sensory exploration and discover how our adventures into space have helped us to learn more about our solar system and beyond. Families will visit the Space Shuttle Pavilion and explore deep space in the Museum’s pop-up planetarium.

Veterans Programs are made possible by public funds facilitated by the Councilman Chaim Deutsch, Chair of the Committee on Veterans, in partnership with the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. These programs are also supported by Craig Newmark Philanthropic Fund.
