Everything...! We bought ticket to ride the extended bus tour and really enjoyed it. Our tour guide Richard was so knowledgeable and had such a sense of humor. It is so interesting to learn all of the history about the brave and courageous men and women who dedicated their lives to be a part of discovering and furthering our capabilities as a human race by pushing and exploring the limits beyond the world, the mass majority of us would otherwise never get to see what reality is like beyond the skies. I have such a greater appreciation for everyone including the men and women behind every aspect of the technical space engineering and exploration. Learning about the accomplishments of mankind and how far we've come helps me to further realize how real our Heavenly Father is. I so appreciate all the men and women who have been and who are still a part of space exploration till today. And thank you to all of those who make it possible for the rest of us to have the opportunity to be on the spectator side of the many space programs we now have. We will be back and we will be bringing more friends and family from the land of Aloha.

For someone from outside US, the steps and process was very detailed and yet simple to undersand follow. It gave me options for planned bg my trip, and allowed me to choose my preferred options. It also pointed me to discounts ( eg I was able to take advantage of adult ticket at the price of child offer). After booking my tickets, the app helped me to find the location, and also helped me to understand the various exhibits and displays, giving brief descriptions.

My husband always wanted to go to the Space shuttle area. We were both wowed by everything. I felt a lot was done to encourage kids and teens to dream and seriously think about being an astronaut. Families and schools should definitely plan a trip there. Meeting astronaut Kathy Thornton was special. All was an A# day at the Kennedy Center.
