Come and learn about the many contributions that animals have made (and continue to make) in the space sciences on Earth and aboard the International Space Station.

– Our event will feature the appearance of a small “owl monkey” to acknowledge the 1961 spaceflight of Mercury’s space chimpanzee Ham. He will appear with wildlife expert Daniel Green.

– We will share the movie “America’s Animal Astronaut Heroes”. Movie representatives will be on site!

– Our resident photographer will be available to shoot pet portraits with a fun space backdrop.

– The Brevard Humane Society will partner with us and bring their adoption van.

– Starting at twilight, we will feature “Urban Stargazing” from our parking lot with members of the Brevard Astronomical Society with their telescopes (and a wealth of knowledge!) to share.

Cost: Normal Admission.   (Evening Stargazing: Free)
