GeorgiaThe Challenger Learning Center is one of the signature attractions inside the Coca-Cola Space Science Center, the Columbus State University science museum that opened in 1996 at 701 Front Avenue along the Chattahoochee Riverwalk in uptown Columbus. In the Challenger Learning Center's simulated space missions, visitors work as a team to carry out a futuristic "Voyage to Mars" or a "Return to the Moon," experiences designed to build communication and problem-solving skills. It operates alongside the center's other facilities, including the Omnisphere planetarium theater, the WestRock (Mead) Observatory and the Space Shuttle Odyssey launch simulator. The center is Georgia's only museum dedicated to astronomy and space science and houses the state's most extensive collection of Space Shuttle program artifacts.
