The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks
Boston, get ready for lift-off. The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks debuts June 27, 2025 at the historic Saunders Castle at Park Plaza, kicking off its North-American tour right here in the Hub. Narrated, co-written, and produced by the Oscar-winning star of Apollo 13, this 50-minute, large-format experience blends remastered NASA footage, floor-to-ceiling projection, and chest-thumping spatial audio to put you inside both the Apollo moon walks and the upcoming Artemis missions.
Early-bird alert: snag 15 % off tickets through June 26 at 11:59 p.m.—no code required.
