Schedule half a day to visit the Infinity Science Center located on Interstate 10 just East of Bay St Louis. See actual items that have been in space . The INFINITY Science Center is a non-profit organization that seeks to educate the public about space travel. There are many displays with actual equipment used by astronauts.
This facility is located across the interstate from the massive Stennis NASA rocket engine test facility. Take a tour of the rocket engine test facility run by NASA. Sign up for the free tour inside the Infinity Science Center.
We could go into a long discussion about how fascinating this facility is but all of that information is on the Infinity Science Center website (click) and check for operating hours and tour times.
