We did it a few weeks ago. My 13 year old space nut daughter loved it.

We especially loved the special tour to all the launch sites. that was the highlight for us. There's not much to the main section itself. It's a little boring other than the Atlantis exhibits, that was awesome. But the rocket garden, and the other stuff were kindof meh. When you take the bus to the other section...that was the best stuff plus the launch sites if you bought a special ticket to go on those. Pro-tip, sit on the left side of the bus.

You know, that 2nd picture troubles me.

The change in external tank foam was ill-advised as well....**
