About Us:
The site of Promenade at Downey is steeped with history with significant contributions to aviation, space exploration, and movie making. For five decades, between 1936 and 1986, Downey was a cutting edge hotspot of aerospace innovation and production earning it the title “Cradle of the Cosmic Age.” Created out of the former Boeing plant where the Space Shuttle orbiters were assembled, Downey Studios was a force in major motion picture production from 1998-2010. Located adjacent to Promenade at Downey, the Columbia Memorial Space Center provides a rich history lesson on Downey's achievements in space exploration and offers the public a hands-on space museum and activity center.
