    'Chat w/ astronaut was a highlight. I had thought I would be "toured" by a guide, was not familiar with the way the center is laid out. But eventually got around and enjoyed the visit.

    The Chat With An Astronaut location is not well marked. In fact, it's only on a digital sign that shows the "Chat with an astronaut" every 10 seconds or so. It's located between the Bus Tour and Mars Rover. Also icon on map which we discovered after.

    The Space Center is very cool, you feel like a child amazed by everything, you almost experience a little bit of what the space race was like, the only thing missing, I don't know if because I don't ask, I couldn' enjoy the additional that said my reservation: A continental breakfast, 1 alcoholic drink per adult ticket, A commemorative gift and lithograph. If you have that included, ask so you don't miss it. Review of: Johnathn Castelblanco - January 23 - 2025

    We come from far away and getting to talk to a REAL astronaut is incredible and on the other hand, the motivation it generates in my youngest son to study nuclear engineering!!!! Wonderful!

    There was way more then i expected. You will need at least 2 days, no joke, to take it all in. Meeting with a real astronaut was one of the best moments for my son and i. just an overall amazing experience for any family. Seeing the actual size of rockets and the Atlantis is mind blowing. We cant wait to go back.
