No other science fiction brand has become so interwoven with popular culture. For more than 40 years Star Trek has entertained us with compelling stories, colorful characters and powerful allegories.

But while entertaining and delighting, from the very beginning Star Trek also foretold the world we live in today: Humans exploring other worlds, miracles of modern medicine, and even the first cell phone - all were envisioned in Star Trek's unique brand of science fiction.

Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future opened minds and inspired young people everywhere to imagine new possibilities and to believe that even the sky is not the limit. Countless doctors, scientists, teachers and astronauts - people shaping the world today and touching each of our lives - first found their passion in the imagination of Star Trek. It has been widely recognized by fans, scientists, and social and cultural observers that Star Trek has significantly influenced and contributed to the world, indeed the universe we live in today.

This unparalleled experience enables the public to step inside the Star Trek universe and become active participants in the legacy that has captivated imaginations for generations. Whether it's sitting on the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise or traveling through space on motion simulators, STAR TREK THE EXHIBITION fully immerses visitors in the legendary adventure that has become synonymous with scientific innovation and ingenuity.
