Ours did, and that made it a ton more affordable for us. I would highly suggest seeing if a children's museum or science center near your home has a reciprocal membership. It's significant, especially when you add on the bus tour. The only real downside is the cost to visit this site. There were simulators/rides both inside and outside, and the food at the on-site restaurant was surprisingly good, hot and fresh, although priced as one would expect. We also went into an area where the Environmental Control and Life Support Systems are being developed. We even got to talk to one of the managers. We visited the historic Redstone test site and went inside the Payload Operations Integration Center, where we saw people monitoring the science experiments on board the International Space Station. The bus tour had an extremely knowledgeable guide who has been taking tourists through for years.

You have the amazing history, one of 3 places in the United States you can see a Saturn V rocket, one of a dozen places to see an Apollo command module, plus unique features such as the Apollo 13 Lunar Module trainer, the Apollo 12 crew quarantine trailer and a nicely sized moon rock. I wouldn't want to do this stop without including the bus tour, and they sold out within 1 hour of opening on the Saturday in February when we visited (not exactly peak visiting time!) I paid by credit card over the phone and had zero problem picking up those reserved tickets.Ī lot of places say there is something for everyone, but that's really true, here. I HIGHLY suggest calling the phone number for the center and reserving your bus tour tickets in advance. Our 10-year-old son's favorite part was climbing the rock wall. My husband's favorite part was the afternoon tour through the Marshall Space Flight Center. My favorite part of the day was the guided morning tour through the Davidson Center.
