The Stafford Air & Space Museum is a Smithsonian-affiliated institution. We are named in honor of Lt. General Thomas P. Stafford, veteran astronaut of the Project Gemini & Apollo space programs and a Weatherford, OK native. Filled with artifacts from the earliest days of mankind’s first flights, to the manned spaceflight programs of the “Space Race” era between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, to the future of aerospace, the Museum has something for everyone! The museum houses 63,000 square feet of exhibits and showcases thousands of artifacts, including a General Dynamics F-16 “Fighting Falcon,” the actual Fixed-Base Simulator used to train all 135 Shuttle Program crews, a ten-story Titan II rocket, a moon rock returned to Earth by the crew of Apollo 17 and General Stafford’s actual, flown Gemini VI spacecraft.

4.5Ames Astrobleme Museum(5 reviews) - Great little stop; Interesting peek into the geologic past Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Natural History Museums • Science Museums
The Ames Astrobleme Museum brings to attention a cataclysmic event from some 450 million years ago. The town of Ames sits above the center of an ancient crater, also known as an astrobleme, caused by the impact of a meteor 1,000 feet in diameter. While the crater filled in with sediment over the years and cannot be seen, its impact continues to this day, as the geological formation created by the impact led to prime conditions for the trapping of oil and natural gas deposits. The museum provides a good video describing the impact and its ongoing legacy for the area. The walk-through area also includes posters describing the meteor, its impact, and the formation of the fossil fuels deposits. It was a great little stop as we meandered through the Oklahoma countryside, providing a good reason to get out of the car and learn about something new. All of my kids - ages 2 to 9 - were engaged by the video and in hearing about the giant meteor. Check it out!See more..
