Free Press staff report | 6/15/2023, 6 p.m.
Dads may visit the Virginia Museum of History & Culture and receive free admission to the museum galleries, includ- ing the museum’s most recent exhibition, “Apollo: When We Went to the Moon,” as part of a special Father’s Day offering.
“Apollo: When We Went to the Moon,” which will be on display now through Dec. 31, chronicles the history of human space exploration through artifacts, objects and powerful media presentations organized by the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. Visitors can “touch a piece of the Moon,” be transported to the Apollo 11 launch pad as part of an immersive audiovisual experience; leave their “footprints” behind as they walk across a virtual lunar surface; and climb aboard a full-scale Apollo 17 lunar rover model to experience how astronauts got around on the moon,” according to the museum. The VMHC also has partnered with the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton to present a special section of the exhibition that explores Virginia’s place in this pivotal area of our history.
To receive free admission, dads may check in at the guest services desk Tickets for other members of the family can be purchased in person at the museum or online at VirginiaHistory.org.
