Of all the strange new worlds the Enterprise and her crew have explored, I'm sure nothing could have prepared them for... Detroit! The Detroit Science Center has a new Star Trek exhibit- "This multi- city touring exhibition contains the world's most comprehensive collection of authentic Star Trek ships, set re-creations, costumes and props from 5 television series and 10 films over the last 40 years."
And they're not kidding, I just went, and they have some amazing stuff, there is a re-creation of Captain Picard's quarters complete with all kinds of trinkets, even that goofy flute he used to play! There are tons of costumes, from Scott Bakula's uniform in "Enterprise", to 7 0f 9's skintight jumpsuit from "Voyager". They have the borg ship, all kinds of weapons, tricorders, and the transporter room, where you can actually see yourself get "beamed up", but I have to say my personal favorite was a Klingon captain's chair! What better place to watch your T.V. from?
They recreated the bridge from the original series, and my buddy and I sat in Sulu and Chekov's seats. Neither of us sat in Captain Kirk's chair, you know why? Repect.
Tickets are $18.95 for adults and $14.95 for kids and seniors, and if you like Star Trek believe me it's worth it. The exhibit will run until September 7th so you have plenty of time to check it out this summer.
