I thought that the tour included a guide to the launch pad etc. as per last year. We had visitors from Australia and we told them if our previous experience. As a result it was disappointing!

We did the upgrade option which included a 2 hour bus tour that went into the outer launch pads and allowed picture stops and greater access to the Center. There was so much to see and do and we made a full day of it. We had bought a 2 day pass but did just about everything in 1 day. Food was too expensive for what you got. Exhibits were well done and the moving of large groups of people was great through the Center. All employees were friendly and helpful. Facility was clean and well kept.

We spent two days at the Space Center. Our first day was the Explore Tour which was amazing. Our tour guide, Bart was amazing and shared so much information. We learned so much and Bart presented everything in a fun and entertaining manner. It was obvious he enjoys sharing what he knows with others and his enthusiasm was contagious. The exhibits were facinating and so much to learn. The interactive exhibits are well done and easy to use. It has been 25 years since our last visit and it was wonderful to see how much the space center has grown.

We payed the $25 extra for the explore tour. But when we arrives at the bus pickup area there weren't any clear signage or staff directions those who pay extra for this. So, we were confused that the regular bus tour was the one we paid for, when we later found out this was this regular tour was for the general admission. So we lost out on $75 for this experience.

Your experience

The special offer lets you grab an adult ticket for the price of a child's. It's the perfect summer deal for budget-conscious fun! At the main visitor center complex, you'll first spot the Space Shuttle Atlantis, a spacecraft only astronauts have seen before. The payload bay doors are open, making it look like it was floating in space. This interactive model lets you experience the sensation of floating in space. Continue to explore exhibits like Heroes and Legends, sit for an IMAX movie, and walk through the rocket garden.

Your Explore Tour begins on a bus with a space expert guide. You'll make several stops along the way, where you can take pictures. Notice spaceflight operations like the Vehicle Assembly Building, historic Launch Complex 39, and disembark for a view of the launch pads used by NASA’s commercial partners such as SpaceX and ULA. By the end of your tour, you'll have much insight into minute details and fascinating facts about space travel.
