Yes. There are two Saturn V rockets there. The one laying down in the back of the park is the actual rocket used in the missions. At various joints the pieces are pulled apart so visitors can see inside the rocket and it's various stages. The second one is a replica and stands upright in front of the museum. I hear it is the tallest structure in Alabama. There is fund raising project to help restore the Saturn V.

Thanks ether. The rocket in the back was laying in pieces back in 1983 as well. Walking between the parts is still fresh in my mind, and the fact that you could hear lots of birds cooing within the pieces kinda blew my mind. I mean, here is the greatest vehicle of flight ever made and it ends up laying next to a farm field in Alabama with lots of birds living in it. Like I said, the time I spent in Huntsville actually changed my life.
