Reviews
- RR.The visit exceeded my expectations. The tram, the Saturn V and the permanent exhibitions make for a very well-rounded experience.
- AA.I’d never seen a moon rock up close before and found it a fascinating experience. The centre is full of interesting details.
- PP.The Destiny Theatre documentary was clear and exciting. It helps to put everything you see afterwards into context.
- MM.A very good visit, although some areas were quite noisy due to school groups. Nothing serious, but it was noticeable at times.
