From Earth to the Moon

From Earth to the Moon

Be an astronaut for a day!

The space adventure begins at the Foundation of the Hellenic World, with the help of virtual reality, heading for the Moon. Are you ready to become astronauts for an exciting mission «off orbit»?

Experience a unique immersive experience while wearing VR headsets. You will explore the lunar landscape, collect information about space, solve puzzles, discover the wonders of the solar system, touch meteorites, learn about astronauts' nutrition and what life is like aboard the International Space Station.

But your mission doesn't end there! After conquering the Moon, you can put on replicas of the astronauts' special suits and «transform» into a space explorer. When you return to Earth, a special space surprise will also be waiting for you!

The countdown begins in… 3… 2… 1… Liftoff!
