I personally did not think this was worth the $140 it cost for a family of 6 to visit. I felt it looked very run down and mediocre. I probably would rate this higher if the cost better matched the ex… Full review by tiffmgilmore

Currently the bustour is not operating. Because of the quarantine restrictions related to Covid and the astronauts who have pending launches, they are not allowing anyone into the quarantine area. We really wanted to do the bustour as well, however, it is still a great visit to the Space and Rocket Center without the bustour. We highly recommend the Planetarium show.

Q:
I'm looking to do Family Space Camp with my boys who will be 12 and 14. Our concern is are they too old to do Family Camp? Would we be paired up with mostly families with younger kids? Or rather, should we opt to send them to the week-long Academy with kids their age group?
A:
Great question and definitely one to ask the camp. I'm sure they can let you know the ages of children registered when you are looking to go.
