Hear a story about two spiders who stow away on a Space Shuttle
Thursdays, Now - Oct 30, 2025. From: 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM
Join us for a story about two spiders who stow away on a Space Shuttle to spin the first web in space. We will read Space Spinners by Suse MacDonald.
Find out more about the experience of space travel. We will learn about real experiments of sending spiders to space to see whether they can spin webs in microgravity. Then we'll draw our own spooky spider webs.
Story Time and Museum admission are free. Timed-entry passes are required and may be reserved at airandspace.si.edu.
