Disappointed. Not at all the same great experience as the center in Florida. Much smaller and many of the “attractions” are for kids. Missed all of the tram tours, all fully booked by 12:30. These are probably the highlights but since I wasn’t able to go I don’t know. Too bad, really looked forward to this.
Very good and interesting experience. Transport was super convenient and on time
Overall fun. Price was reasonable. Spent 4 hours there which was enough amount of time. The trams running to other areas were slow and not run properly. They need to revamp this process!
Transportation was on time and efficient, good communication. Well worth the extra for a guide - learnt so much and Meredith had a personal connection so got so many extra insights. Did get a very last-minute notice of a change of time due to off peak policy which we were not expecting.
Our driver Edgardo was on time, he was very approachable and brought good vibes throughout our trip. He explained very well everything that we need to know about the entire tour.
The driver was incredibly nice and really helpful. Made it a really nice experience. Nasa was incredible
The communication wasn’t good, esp. returning. We all were told to meet at 3. Then the driver said he had to wait until 3:45. We could have done a tour but we passed it up bc it would end at 3:10. There were other people on the shuttle who had it worse. They bought an extra ticket for a tour and didn’t get to go. They did get a text but again miscommunication. A lot of us were waiting to leave at 3:00 even the ones who didn’t get to go on the extra tour, or whatever problem they had. One person even got thrown off the shuttle bc he gave up the extra tour so he could make it back to the 3 PM shuttle bc he had somewhere to be. The driver said he had an attitude, but that was before he didn’t realize we didn’t know we weren’t leaving at 3 anymore it was 3:45 no matter what. It was just the fact they could have text all of us. The ones who bought extra tickets thought there was going to be another shuttle for them. My dad and I, and whoever didn’t get extra tickets didn’t get a text saying we would leave at 3:45. We could have enjoyed at least 30 more minutes of the museum.
Everything was excellent except for the poor communication regarding pick up time. Because some people were reserving tours that made them late for the shuttle everyone else was expected to wait.
It was a great experience, the instructions on where to be at what time were very clear. The driver was lovely and the group was so nice. There is enough time to see everything, just be aware you need to email them in advance for the control room tour. It’s very economical and practical. Would recommend to anyone who is going to the Space Center and can’t/doesn't want to drive.
Mr. Mike was a great driver, very knowledgeable.
