People At The Us Space & Rocket Center Wearing Masks

Masks are no longer mandated statewide, but individuals are strongly encouraged to wear a mask or other facial covering when in public and in close contact with other people with the Safer Apart Order through May 5, 2021.

*Some venues are still requiring masks so please make note before visiting attractions.

We’ve got space. And just because we’re having to keep our space six feet apart, that doesn’t faze a city that closed the gap of 1,261,154,400 feet from the earth to the moon.

“We’ve Got Space” is the slogan for the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau. Like you, the quarantine put the Rocket City into a holding pattern. But when the time is right, Huntsville is ready to welcome you. We’ll be here with the space to meet in the Von Braun Center and other first-class facilities, the spaces to stay in our vast array of lodging options, the places to eat and play and visit.

The well-being of our visitors is our top priority, so we’re working with individual facilities and our local government and health officials to stay up-to-date on health guidelines. We’ll make sure our space is appropriate and safe, and to make it available for you. Six feet is nothing when you’ve already grabbed the moon and brought it closer. We can’t wait to bring you to Huntsville.

Here’s a look at some of our most popular meeting spaces and their procedures in welcoming visitors. Click here if you want to learn more about hotel cleanliness and enhanced safety protocols. Also, click here for the latest on attractions, hotels and restaurants.
