Show Highlights

Space Junk 3D is a visually explosive journey of discovery that weighs the solutions aimed at cleaning up our planet’s orbits. In Space Junk 3D, visitors experience mind-boggling collisions – both natural and man-made – in stunning time lapse sequences captured with the magical imagery of 3D. Soar from the stunning depths of Arizona’s Meteor Crater to an unprecedented view of the increasingly polluted space at 22,000 miles above Earth.

Space Junk is available to CityPASS and Go Chicago holders.
