Hotels in Wapakoneta

Take one small step for mankind at the Armstrong Air & Space Museum, where Neil Armstrong's lunar legacy fills the striking concrete dome. The Temple of Tolerance offers an unexpected counterpoint - a backyard sanctuary of balanced stones and found objects created by a local eccentric. Auglaize Antique Mall tempts with treasures spanning decades, while families splash away summer heat at Wapakoneta WaterPark's slides and pools. Locals (who call their hometown 'Wapak') gather at downtown diners where space memorabilia decorates walls and conversation inevitably turns to their famous son. For a perfect small-town evening, catch a movie at the historic Wapa Theatre before grabbing ice cream at a parlor where prices seem frozen in time.
