5.00This trip was awesome! Bought my tickets through Viator 2 hours before and saved some $$. Didn't know what to expect, but we spent the entire day there so definitely worth the money! Tours kept us busy, along with all the exhibits. Learned a lot and ate well too! Love the ordering process for food and the sandwich we got from the deli was delicious, not to mention freshly made chips were perfectly crispy! Coffee was spot on too!
Could do better

3.00A nice website rather poorly organized. We don't know where to start, we don't know where to end the visit. The moon, Mars, shuttle bus, theater, tours with the small train: all in disorder without any conductor wire. Merchandising quite expensive but hey, that's part of the game.
Amazing day

5.00Enjoyed the tour thru the space center. In the Auditorium they had a presentation by a space shuttle pilot and it good way to start the tour. Only thing is you have to plan ahead for the additional side tours. They were all sold out when we got there so we missed out on mission control tour
Great experience!...

4.00This is a great way to kill time learning about our nation’s space program. We went on a Sunday morning and had no issue parking. The line was long but moved very quickly. Inside was quite spacious (!) with lots of activities. The sign at the desk said that there tram was sold out but that turned out to be a mistake. The tram ride to the astronaut center was fun, but we could only hear about 30% of the guide’s words; the speakers were poor and the tram was noisy. We would come back for another visit as 3 hours wasn’t long enough.
Wonderful Experience - Be Cautious of tour times!

4.00Being able to see all the spacecraft up-close was a dream come true! I regret not doing the tours they offer but being able to explore the different things up close was amazing I would say without doing the tours the length of the visit can be around 1 hour, The cost to get in wasn't horrible it varies on what you want and parking will be around $10. I feel like the value I experienced was fair. The atmosphere of the building is amazing and themed very well the only downside was the crowd size there was a lot of people! Staff were amazing! and took initiative.
