The tour itself was ok but did not get enough time with the astronaut. Time for 2 questions only. This was the whole reason for doing this tour. The no change/cancelation policy is robbery. I booked one ticket then my grandson was a later addition to my trip so I wanted to add him and change the day - not cancel, just change the day. After many emails and calls, City Tours kindly swapped the days for me. We came all the way from New Zealand to do this.

I am sorry to hear of your disappointment. The Dine with the Astronaut space is limited to a certain amount of people per day however, there can still be a large amount of people at one time. This is something we will certainly pass on to our Kennedy Space Center contact.

Buffet lunch duration of 1 hour however did not have enough food prepared. When our table was called to go up for food there was harfly anything left. My wife and I missed out so our son got something to eat. Talk by an astronaut during the break, followed by pic afterwards. Then 2 hours guided bus tour. We advise that we would not do this again, we would most likely do our own thing. We missed seeing so much, waiting for others, toilet breaks, bus had no air conditioning. Was a good day but over priced. Just take the standard entry and make your own way.
