Cool exhibit if you haven't seen a shuttle yet. You can't go inside of it unfortunately. You do get to see how amazing they are though along with the Soyuz capsule.

Amanda Halloren

Active duty military get in for free which is nice bonus for a place we wanted to visit anyway. You could easily spend 4-5 hours there with the Growler , the various aircraft, and Enterprise NASA.

I was overwhelmed when I saw "the" Enterprise. I don't know if it was because I'm a Trekker but it was one of the best moments of my life!

This "Enterprise" has never been to space and was also not featured in a "Star Trek" movie . But it's the first out of six space shuttles - and pretty impressing

Great to see the shuttle. It's impressively large. Sadly you can't see anything but the exterior. There were some demos for kids that seemed so-so.
