I felt like it was easy to find and easy to park. My mom was annoyed that you have to scan a QR code posted in the parking lot to pay, but I find that convenient. Prices were okay ... I would have liked to pay more like $20 or $25 to get in; at least one of the activities (VR) inside was a separate charge. The concession area was like airport prices. I thought that the architecture of the space was strange, and it was honestly my biggest complaint about this experience. It's kind of like a studio apartment in museum form, with nothing really in the center and various hubs around the edges. It had the effect of being way louder than it needed to be. I would recommend that folks prone to being overstimulated consider earplugs. The interior was darker than I would expect from a public space like this, but the displays were well lit and easy to read. There were not a lot of places to sit and rest for those who would need something like that. There was a ton of information and it was clearly presented and easy to understand. It was interesting to see the artifacts from various points in history. It's worth a trip, if you're into the topic.

Very crowded. Underwhelming, was expecting lots of hardware but in reality maybe only 30% of the indoor area was dedicated to actual space related exhibitions. The rest was a huge cafeteria, and grossly overpriced shops. ($11 for a small metal keychain). There are fans on the tram tours but no AC, and the general admissions tickets are way oversold. You should pay to have a good time, not pay to subject yourself to indirect torture. Disappointed
