I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the excellent service provided by Frood and Bonnie from Gray Line Orlando, who assisted us on bus 141. They were both very kind, attentive, and professional throughout the entire tour. Their punctuality, helpfulness, and friendly attitude made our experience much more enjoyable and comfortable. We especially appreciated the care they showed us and the way they paid attention to every detail. Their outstanding service truly contributed to making our tour a wonderful experience. Thank you both very much!

I bought the 2 day ticket and chat with an astronaut as a birthday gift for my husband. Meeting and chatting with the astronaut was one of the highlights of our visit to Kennedy Space Center. Hearing firsthand stories about training, spaceflight, and life as an astronaut was both inspiring and educational. The Q&A session was engaging and informative. We really enjoyed the bus tours. We both had an awesome 2 days. There was so much to see. So many memories made. It was a remarkable and rememberable trip.

Prepare yourself to experience something approximately 300% more interesting than you predict it will be. There is so much to see, touch, climb on, listen to, learn from, and just walk around being amazed. We wished we would have planned for 2 days there to see everything. The first things we see led to the next 10 things. We opted in for the Chat with an Astronaut which was a highlight of our entire trip which included Universal Studios! Kathryn Thornton is a national treasure and gave an impressive talk. A big plus is that the snacks served were spectacular as well. We still talk about the banana pudding. Thank you Kennedy Space Center for being the highlight of our trip. Being back home, the Universal days are fading to memory but the Kennedy day is still talked about! Truly an amazing place.

Enjoyed the KSC greatly. Very informative and entertaining. Made me proud of the accomplishments of our Country and its people. The first day bus tour and chat with the Astronaut was a must. The little snacks during the chat was a nice plus. It was also great to see young participants wanting to learn more about the path to space careers.

As you absorb these tales, you’ll get the unique opportunity to pose questions, uncovering intriguing, lesser-known facets of space travel. Before this session concludes, immortalize the memory with a snapshot alongside the astronaut and take home a signed lithograph as a keepsake.
