Our chat with an astronaut with Dr. Barlow was fantastic! Informative, entertaining and engaging. A gracious man who comes alive when he speaks of the science behind the investigation of the sun. Wonderful support staff and a decent spread of food as well. We would highly recommend the experience!

My family and I met the man who invented space surfing!!!! He was so amazing answering all our questions about space, and how it is truly a different world up there.

Loved the way they presented their artifacts. The Apollo/Saturn V display was wonderful and brought back many memories. At the end of their audio/video presentation on the shuttle when they revealed the actual shuttle Atlantis, tremendous! It takes your breath away. Loved the astronaut hall of fame and the in memorium for the Apollo and Shuttle astronauts. The background info and personal artifacts displayed actually gave a little insight to the actual people. This is a must see destination not only for space buffs but for young people to educate them on the history and importance of America's space programs.

It is a unique experience. The chance to talk to an astronaut is a dream. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take a picture with him and shake his hand.

Meeting Jim Newman, the astronaut for the day, was great! I think I had a huge grin on my face the entire time. And we had the ticket and could just go straight to the security line to get in. Super easy.
