The first couple of hours was fine then that was enough for us .. ..most of staff are very nice .. The catering indoor space orbit I think it’s called is an unpleasant experience and low standards with staff screening out order numbers .. I wouldn’t bother with the space centre but the airboat is a pleasant experience”

“This activity is not a tour in any manner. It is a transportation/shuttle between a hotel and NASA. There is a driver, not a guide. It is misleading referring to self-purchasing additional tickets. Purchase of all tickets is required. The discreption is misleading and deceptive. I have used Viator for over 5 years and on 4 continents. This is the first time Inhave experienced the activity description not accurate and if done intentionally deceptive. I hope the errors are due to the operator being unfamiliar with correct written English. If the description is not changed it’s deceptive and should be addressed by Viator.”
