Space Tour USA 2024

Itinerary

Itinerary

October 30, 2025 (T) – depart Australia for the USA

Pack your bags, grab your passport, and head to the airport – we are heading to the USA!

October 30, 2025 (T) – Arrival Day

Arrive in Los Angeles, check into hotel in Anaheim, rest. In the afternoon we will get in the Halloween spirit while we participate in a Halloween hats/mask creation workshop. We will end our day with dinner with JPL engineers at a local restaurant.

October 31, 2025 (W) – Space Science in California

Today we will visit the California Science Center, participate in an education workshop, and tour the facility. If Shuttle Endeavour is on display in her new home, we will be able to see her. After the Science Center we will return to Anaheim for dinner at fun local restaurant.

November 1, 2025 (TH) – La Brea Tar Pits and Griffith Observatory

An exciting day where we have a special guided tour of the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum. La Brea Tar Pits is an active paleontological research site in urban Los Angeles. Hancock Park was formed around a group of tar pits where natural asphalt has seeped up from the ground for tens of thousands of years. Over many centuries, the bones of trapped animals have been preserved. By comparing scientific research and information to other locations globally and even into space – we can make meaning from our world.

Griffith Observatory is southern California’s gateway to the cosmos! Visitors may look through telescopes, explore exhibits, see live shows in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium, and enjoy spectacular views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign.

November 2, 2025 (F) – International Collaborative Learning

Join members of One Giant Leap Australia’s US Advisory Team as we share a day of STEM and cross-cultural exploration with a US classroom. We will interact with American students as we plant seeds that have flown in Zero G environments. Meet new friends in the US and learn about how students in the US and Australia share the same dreams. After, we will visit a local tide pool environment, tides permitting. Low Tide is at 3:54pm. That should work well for tide pools.
