With more launches than any other NASA facility, WFF is worth exploring. Their 2 main areas (balloons, sounding rockets, planes ) are SOOO cool! Come learn about them!
Great exhibits , so cool to see the rockets used for different missions out on the yard. Nice showings about global warming and social responsibility
It's a small museum , but it's free and informative, and a nice, educational morning trip for before the beach .
A free visitor center with enthusiastic staff that can tell you about upcoming rocket launches .
Check out the new “Science on a Sphere ” exhibit featuring a 3D experience of Earth, the moon, and storms on Jupiter from a 6-foot diameter globe suspended from the ceiling. Read more
Fun to explore. Lots of displays kids can understand.
The visitor's center is small, but will be growing in the coming years. Got to stop by the gift shop and load up on awesome NASA gear. Read more
Took us about 45 minutes to go through the exhibits . Science on a Sphere wasn't working but it was still a nice place.
If you want to walk around the grounds, bring mosquito repellant!
It’s an effort, but not a good one.
Watch for rockets being launched towards the end of June!

From the Atlantic at Assateague National Seashore, Tom’s Cove, grassy estuaries, and oyster beds, the water and its life are amazing. - Christina Tyler Wenks
Mosquitos might be bad, but the view from the top of the lighthouse is well worth it. It's a good place to stop if you're walking or biking to the beach, too. - Ellie Pines
Brand new asphalt and lots of shade. Great trail for a summer bike ride! - Zach Frailey
