The Cathedral’s Space Window—which includes a piece of moon rock brought back by Apollo 11 astronauts—was dedicated 50 years ago this July. The public is invited to celebrate with kids' (12 and under) free admission and special sightseeing activities for the whole family.

Kids are free with a paid adult admission. There are several other events daily including:

Space Explorers Family Story Time

10:30-11:30am • 7th Floor Pilgrim Observation Gallery
Enjoy a storytime followed by space-themed craft and coloring activities each day. Books include topics like the Apollo 11 space mission, the moon landing, and more. Open to children of all ages but designed especially for ages 3-8.

Space-Themed LEGO® building

10am-5 pm • LEGO® Exhibit (main level)
Stop by the LEGO® exhibit for a special space-themed building activity. The whole family can help build the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander, astronauts, and space shuttles out of LEGO® bricks. Due to small pieces, this activity is best for kids and teens ages 5 and up.
