So it is probably receiving 3 stars because we decided to do this last minute and I didn't research much. But here goes, it took us over an hour to get parked. The gates open at 8:30(earlier than the center) be there early and be prepared to be on a two lane highway for awhile. I also suggest that you allow this visit to two days plus. With the crowds and wait times, it makes it impossible to enjoy the experience in one day. The Atlantis museum takes over two hours to tour (AWESOME, RIGHT?!) but the wait times were long. We sadly didn't get to see it. Pretty much the rocket garden, and few other exhibits along with one shoe is all we experienced for several hundred dollars. It seemed to be more of a theme park than learning experience. I get you need to raise money for our space program but, everything was additional costs to see. I wouldn't go back even with only seeing a 1/4 of the park (yes park because it does not seem like a center or museum).
