What families say
Families consistently rate this a must-do for space-loving kids, with the bus tour to Saturn V, Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, and even a "Fly With an Astronaut" lunch experience getting particular praise as memorable highlights for all ages. Plan for a full day, and arrive early to explore the main auditorium before tackling the bus tour queue, since it fills up fast and full tours stop around 2pm. Reviewers found it clean, well-organized, and staffed by helpful, knowledgeable people, though be prepared to spend extra at the gift shops (opinions vary on whether prices are reasonable or pricey).
