PIERRE, S.D.(DRGNews)The South Dakota Discovery Center in Pierre will hold a grand opening for a new exhibit on Sunday.

Exhibit Hall Manager Allison Graviett-Pfaff(grav-it faff) says LUNAR LIFE: Destination Mars was developed by a group of students and faculty at South Dakota State University thanks to a grant partnership with NASA.

Graviett-Pfaff talks about the first two pods kids of all ages get to explore.

She says the last pod is the laboratory and mining.

Graviett-Pfaff says Sunday’s grand opening ties in with a major date in history for space exploration– the Apollo 11 moon landing.

The grand opening for the LUNAR LIFE: Destination Mars exhibit at the Discovery Center is Sunday from 10am-5pm. Again, admission for everyone is free on Sunday.

The exhibit is projected to be open at the South Dakota Discovery Center in Pierre through May 2027.
