Visiting JPL was one of the most amazing single experiences of my life. To see so many people on this gigantic campus, all working together towards a shared goal was a truly humbling experience. If you ever get the chance to visit, do.

One of the absolute highlights of our 3 months in the USA. Cant believe it was free. The tour started with a talk by a very passionate and engaging JPL staff member, was followed by a short film, a walk through a small but impressive museum room with life-size replicas of several of their space craf...

I went here on Saturday October 10, 2015 for a clas project. It was amazing my classmates and I were awe struck with everything we saw. We are all STEM majors and this just motivated us to continue on and push hard to achieve all the things these scientist at these LABS are doing.

After an employee asked to see my phone with a photo of my passport as a form of ID, a different employee from the security section came back holding my phone giving me an attitude for no reason saying "don't give him your phone, it's a liability issue." Ok well he clearly asked to see my phone so ...

JPL might be a good laboratory, but their Visitor Day Tour disappointed me.
The tour lasts 2.5 hours, of which about a half is spent on watching a movie about JPL. Then the visitors are brought into a small room from where they can look, through a glass, at an area where some apparatus are being as...

Visiting JPL is one of the highlights of my life. Watching spacecraft components being assembled is fascinating. The staff members are friendly and informative. The campus is beautiful. If you're a space exploration nerd, this should be on your short list of places to visit.

"My battries are low, its getting dark"

I was only supposed to last 90 days.

Instead, me, this hardy little robot lasted FIFTEEN YEARS.

Fifteen years of science and exploration.

I was finally lost to a dust storm, so, as humans (who will pack bond with anything) do, wish me sweet dreams ...

JPL rolls out the red carpet once a year and it is worth braving the crowds to get a look at the cutting edge of technology and space exploration. Many of the labs and workshops are open and the people who actually build and work on the space probes and satellites are on hand to talk about their mi...

In 1988, when there was no Internet. I wrote to JPL and NASA requesting information about the missions that awakened so much "magic" in me. After many months they counted on me and today I have this magnificent collection of original photos from various missions, including Voyager ... Thank you JPL....

My son was sponsored by a friend for "take your kid to work day", and he had a tremendous time. The folks are so generous and eager to share. The kid came back both exhausted and energized! Thanks, JPL and NASA (and Mike!), for fostering a sense of wonder.

Was fortunate enough to tour the facilities in early June 2016 when they opened the campus to the public. It was simply incredible. It was so well organized, and all the scientists and their wonderful exhibits make for such great role models for my 7 year old daughter. Thanks for having us.

Went on a field trip with my son's 4th grade class! The tour staff is excellent! Spoke loud enough for everyone to hear, kept the kids quiet when needed, organized group picture opportunities, and answered many questions! It was so exciting because we were able to see the Mars 2020 Rover!!!

Went on the open house day or whatever. Miserable experience because there were simply too many people (took 3 hours to get in even though we arrived before they opened, and then there were more lines inside). You would think these rocket scientists would plan this stuff better.
