The Control Centre for the Apollo 11 landing on the moon was outstanding and a must do. You need to pay for the experience but it rounds off a great place to visit.

Uber wanted to me charge me $40 one--way! NASA wanted to charge me $30 for the ticket! No way, Jose! Saved over $50 with this option, got a list of top exhibits and tours inside, and great comfortable driver that didn't rush us. This is the ONLY way to get to NASA right if you don't own a vehicle

This was perfect and easy way to arrange our visit to NASA. The drivers were so nice and kind. They gave us a printed guide to know what to do and what tram tours to sign up. The buses were clean and comfortable

You have to be ready to walk; better bring a stroller for the little one and eat well before arriving.

The guide had no ID and looked like one of guests. Spoke to a few people only, so could not make out what she was saying. Did not introduce herself. Except for one, all tram tours was fully booked. Going through a tour company should at least guarantee you the free tram tours .

Very efficient and inexpensive package that includes 2 free trams at NASA that you need to schedule when you arrive! They give you entry tickets and full transport to nasa center in a comfortable and air conditioned Mercedes van. Between Ubers and Lyfts which would have run us over $100 just in fares, we are very satisfied with this service

The shuttle was comfortable, clean, and cool. I would recommend this service to everyone since this is a great budget-friendly experience if you don't want to spend a lot of money getting to the NASA Center -- I really thought the admission fee and transportation for $50 was too good to be true possible scam since NASA ticket is $29.95 by itself.

Terrific experience at the Space Centre partly because it's off-season so we had the facility almost to ourselves on a tuesday. This service was very convenient from downtown hotels and cost efficient. We probably saved about 30 to 40 USD in rideshare fees, possibly more. We appreciate the tickets also came with a useful, detailed tip sheet with instructions on how to book the free tours available at the Space Centre

The shuttle bus left too early from Space Center at 4.05 pm. Not enough time to really see everything. Shuttle bus staff were friendly. Space Center staff were helpful and friendly
