Plenty to do for the kids. Definitely do the tram tours first before the heat of the day sets in. But the tours are not well marked and confusing. The same line that you queue for does several different tours so you don't know which one you're doing until you at front as the tram pulls up and they announce it doing 'xyz'. They can better plan this for sure!!! By the time your back from the 1st tour the line gets super long. all the tours seem to head off to the same vicinity across the road pass the Longhorns where there's the Space Station bldg, Mission Control and Rocket park (inc. the monster Saturn V inside bldg.). Once you've done the tours then its time to cool off in the main bldg where the mock-up shuttle is. However at this time there's so many people already here that you lose the exploration appeal. there are many to do exhibits for the kids. As we went on memorial w/e this was super busy. Parking is plentiful. FYI you do get a $10 off mil. discount.
