It's that time to plan for our annual telescopes family day at the National Air and Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Ctr. According to our expert Curator, Dr. David DeVorkin, this year will mark the 400th anniversary of the invention of the telescope. So that will be the theme and title of this year's family day. The family day program would be from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. and include an opportunity to talk with our expert Curatorial staff (Dr. David DeVorkin from our Space History Dept. has already confirmed his participation), hands-on activities and story time for our younger visitors with their adult companions.

Exit at Air and Space Museum Parkway and follow the signs to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.
