How do rockets work? What are they used for? Why are they designed the way they are? Get the answer to all of these questions as we explore rockets and the important role they play in spaceflight and exploration. Join us for hands-on fun for all ages during this Family Day at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.

Activities include: 

  • Demonstrations
  • Design challenges for all ages
  • A community art project
  • Conversations and Q&As with experts in the field
  • And more!

Soar Together at Air and Space is made possible by the generous support of Northrop Grumman.
