More than Fantastic

Absolutely incredible experience. Everything was tremendously fantastic and overwhelming. Lunch with the astronaut was not enough to live on, John Blaha absolutely outstanding to listen to. Assumed the experience would be good, but I was totally taken by this wonderful place. We went back after two days, when we did not think we had everything properly and we were able to upgrade our tickets to annual tickets. I hope and will try to go again soon.

Super trip, but too short

The trip was really good and you get to see a lot. This is not the time to reach all the way around. The hours indicated are with the bus trip, so there is just about two hours to reach all the way around. The bus ride home is very long, of course depending on where you live, but it should be arranged a little better.
