INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S AIR & SPACE MUSEUM TO HOST ROCKET DAY

CLEVELAND, Ohio– The International Women’s Air & Space Museum (IWASM) will host its annual Rocket Day on June 13, 2018 from noon to 3 p.m. IWASM will team up with the Great Lakes Science Center and NASA’s Glenn Research Center for an afternoon of fun learning about the science of rockets. Children can hear about the history of rockets, witness the rocket car as it races across the parking lot, and set off film canister rockets (weather permitting).

Admission is $1 a child. Space is limited and the last two years have sold out. Registration is required. Children in attendance will receive a goodie bag to take home at the end of the event. Those interested in attending can call 216.623.1111 to complete their reservation.

This event is sponsored by the Bede Family Foundation and Diana DeCesare, Remax Beyond 2000; “Selling Lifestyles Through Real Estate.”

The museum offers free admission. Exhibit hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. Office, gift shop and research center hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The International Women’s Air & Space Museum is located in the terminal of Burke Lakefront Airport, only seconds from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the Great Lakes Science Center. The mission of IWASM is to preserve the history of women in aviation and space and to document their continuing contributions today and in the future. In 1986 the museum opened in Centerville, Ohio. IWASM was welcomed to the City of Cleveland, Ohio in 1998, where you will find their home at Burke Lakefront Airport. Exhibits are in the lobby at Burke, as well as the west concourse, and are accessible seven days a week. For additional information please visit www.iwasm.org.
