Forty-five years ago this July, Apollo 11 landed Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, making them the first humans to step foot on the lunar surface.
In the years since, we've sent satellites into space, placed rovers on Mars and launched a spacecraft to Pluto. The quest to know what exists beyond Earth is never ending, and the tremendous accomplishment of Apollo 11 remains one of the U.S.'s greatest points of national pride.
To celebrate the anniversary of this lunar leap forward, TripAdvisor pored over thousands of reviews to determine the best space-themed attractions in the U.S.
