It was fabulous to see the actual mission control room for many missions, including those to the moon, I had watched on TV as a child. The exhibits were informative and not over-stimulating. I particularly enjoyed learning how the space shuttle was transported and to see the plane and shuttle. The shuttle really looked small mounted on an airplane! We were here in January so there were no crowds and we were able to see everything very well without being overwhelmed by crowds. It's definitely worth the time and effort to get to if you are in the area.
