Welcome

The new Columbia Memorial Space Center is a unique space science learning center located in Downey, California. Focusing on engineering, technology and science, our goal is to teach young people about space exploration and aviation with fun, hands-on experiences.

The Space Center features an interactive Robotics Lab, a state-of-the-art Magic Planet exhibit, a two-story Rocket Launcher, and L.A.'s only Challenger Learning Center for simulated space missions. You can even land the Space Shuttle, explore the Earth from Space, plan a trip to Mars and make your own solar system at one of our computers.
