This has been on my bucket list for 50 years. It didn’t disappoint. The tour bus was punctual and well led by Angelina. Tours inside the complex are no longer guided. A positive of this is that one can take ones own time and concentrate on displays and experiences of personal interest. Don’t miss the Atlantis display and the Saturn 5. Absolutely awesome. I booked the lunch with an astronaut. A good value experience and fascinating. Thank you, Wendy Lawrence.

Biggest mistake to book it with Viator. Apart from providing transportation they do nothing. Not enough time provided. 40% attractions could not be completed. Complete waste of money

I am sorry you were not happy. All general admission ticket are self guided. On the bus on the way over to the center, our guide does give you maps, scheduales and tips on how to mazimize your time. The park in open fronm 9:00 am to 5:00pm. Our bus arrives about 9:15 and leaves at 4:30 pm we find this is enough time for the average person.
