Seeing the actual rockets and participating in simulators was surreal. I am a chemistry teacher and my husband is a physicist, so we are fascinated by space. Having the opportunity to talk to an astronaut and see Arthenis II up close was fantastic.

Communication with Headout and the local partners before the trip was excellent. We were picked up on schedule and Bob, our guide, was very interesting and knowledgeable. The coach was very comfortable. The Space Center was reasonably busy, but certainly nothing like it would be in high season. On Bob's recommendation we did the bus tour first. It took us 4 hours! We also paid extra to go to the chat with an astronaut, which was amazing. The Atlantis space shuttle exhibition was absolutely fantastic. A brilliant day out.

This was a bucket list thing for my husband. He smiled all day! The crowds were light/moderate, exhibits awesome, ride simulator was an experience. We will return when we have TWO days to commit to KSC.

    Ticket process to get in was smooth. Our chat with the Astronaut was cancelled but we did not know that until the time of the event.
