Day at Nasa
The space center is amazing . A few things people need to know, you need all day . We had gone with tour which allowed us 4 hours which isn’t enough time . There 4 trolley tours and you require tickets for 3 of them . So get them first otherwise like us you miss out

Good experience
Very good experience although I was expecting a bit more out of the tours. Maybe more interactive. Nonetheless, it was interesting and educational.

Very disappointed
We were there for barely 30 minutes and they had issues with the bathrooms so they closed! We waisted half a day traveling from Galveston Island, rented a hotel room, meal and all for nothing!
