- Aerospace Museum and MathAlive!Aerospace Museum of California, McClellan Park, CA
✈️ Aerospace Museum of California
It's been a while since we've had a family-friendly outing, and the Aerospace Museum of California (in Sacramento) is the perfect destination to make that happen.
The museum has all kinds of hands-on exhibits for all ages eager to learn about math, space, and engineering.
👩🏻🔬 Math Alive! Exhibit
We'll be visiting while Math Alive is at the museum. Ride in a live-action snowboard race, control a Mars rover, record your own weather telecast, and more. Experience real math at work in sports, nature, robotics, music, dancing, movie-making, and more with dozens of immersive interactive exhibits.
🎫 Tickets
Tickets are $17 for adults and $15 for youth. There are discounts for veterans ($10) and teachers ($10). Active military and museum members get in free. You can buy tickets in advance or at the door.
🍽️ Meet Up for Lunch?
If you want, we can meet for lunch at 11 AM at the Papaya and Noodle Shack, right off Highway 80 and Watt Ave. The museum is about 10 minutes away.

🔭 It's a Party of Stars!
Let's hang out with the Stockton Astronomical Society each month during their "Astronomy in the Park" nights at Oak Grove Regional Park (on Eight Mile, just north of Stockton).
No telescope? No problem! Our friends at SAS come equipped and are happy to share their knowledge and equipment.

Because the moon and stars don't follow our silly human calendar, please note that the day and time of this event changes each month. Be sure to check the event for details and don't assume.
We also suggest you follow SAS via Instagram (@stocktonastrosociety) to be aware of any last-minute cancellations.
