Neil Armstrong Air & Space Museum

In September of 2005 on our vacation we stopped in Wapakoneta Ohio to visit the Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum. Neil Armstrong was the first man to step onto the moon in 1969 and this museum honors his and others accomplishments in space. The museum is located directly off interstate 75 at exit 111. The site is closed on Mondays. The dramatic entrance to museum makes you feel like you are getting ready to walk inside the moon! There are many artifacts from several simulators, space suits, moon rocks, Gemini spacecraft, and many articles, pictures, and a complete history of the Gemini space program. There is also an astro theater that has different shows/movies. times vary.
We spent about 90 minutes in the museum which we both found very interesting and was well worth the $7.00 admission price.
