One of my fondest memories in Utah is the year we took our group of homeschoolers (ages 10 and up) to The Christa McAuliffe Space Center. The kids and parents a like talked about this adventure for many months after. My son is in college now but he and his friends still talk about our day at space camp.
The center is set up to be an interactive adventure for all who participate. Upon arrival your group will be briefed on their mission, the rules of the center and what to expect. Groups can be anywhere from just six persons for one of the smaller crafts up to about 30 I believe. After the mission briefing participants are assigned jobs on the simulator craft selected. To create the best possible interaction of each mission the center has a staff who works behind the scene to play the parts of the friendly and not so friend alien races you meet along the way of your mission.
On our six man craft we were provided uniform tops that were very reminiscent of Star Trek, assigned jobs by our captain (me :o), control panels for our assigned task. At the designated time your mission begins and you and your crew get to react, plan and even some times rescue survivors of other ships.
I would recommend this fun adventure for school groups or even as a family outing if you have children who are at least ten years of age. Its fun to see how every one reacts to the simulator and the voices of the actors playing the other races.
Have fun in space

I moved to Utah in 2001, I must say even having lived here for almost 10 years I still find it a very unique place to live in. View some of the unique finds, places, foods, connections and places I have found to visit from the view of a non-native Utahan
