Very informative, several guided tours where you must not forget to register on arrival otherwise with the crowds you do not have time to do everything. On the other hand, the tickets did not work at the entrance, we had to be directed to another person, which made us waste a little time.

Go early Book your tram rides first thing, early as lines are long mid day They won’t let you Book both tram rides at the same time. We were unable to go on the second tram ride as it was booked when we got back from the first Pizza Ok but everything in the middle and very skimpy. Disappointed in some of the games, did not work

Loved the experience! With shows every 30 minutes there's always an informative performance that you can catch at the Johnson Space Center even if you missed the last one. The souvenir shops are half decent, but the food as expected is excessively priced. The knowledge gained through the exhibits and interactive exhibits was fantastic and once in a lifetime.
