Boca Chica to Mars Exhibit

SpaceX’s Boca Chica to Mars exhibit at the Children’s Museum of Brownsville is open.

Inspired by the Rio Grande Valley’s deep ties to the future of space exploration, the Boca Chica to Mars exhibit brings the excitement of modern rocket science to life through immersive, hands-on experiences. Developed in collaboration with SpaceX and families of Starbase, the exhibit invites visitors to explore, play, and imagine themselves on a journey from Boca Chica to Mars, sparking curiosity, creativity, and confidence in young minds.

“This exhibit represents the hard work and dedication of our community together to inspire young people of the Rio Grande Valley,” said Jenna Petrzelka, Starbase City Commissioner. “Designed to spark curiosity about aerospace, the exhibit is a place where our kids and families can see themselves as part of humanity’s journey to space. With Starship launches just miles away, it’s a tangible place to explore the future taking shape right here at home.”
