Want to experience the awesomeness of space? Join the Adler Planetarium this summer as they bring their award-winning ‘Space is Freaking Awesome’ campaign to life all around Chicagoland. From July 23-31, keep your eye out for the lime green ‘Space is Freaking Awesome’ truck as it pops up in various locations around the city handing out astronaut ice cream and inviting the masses to experience some of the mind-blowing facts about our Universe. Activities are designed to appeal to the senses and give visitors a taste of what the Adler Planetarium has to offer.
Activities Include:
- Try dunking on a basketball hoop that you’d find on the Moon (if there really were basketball hoops on the Moon.)
- Get a whiff of the center of our galaxy—see if you can guess what it smells like. Hint: It’s food-related!
- Experience every-day objects as you would if you lived on Jupiter—get those biceps ready!
- Ask an astronomer anything that’s on your mind.
