| Jon Jackson Denver, Colorado |  My family just visited the museum and we were stunned at how poor the tour guides were! Lower your prices or get professional guides!!! 12/19/2007 @ 18:35 [ref: 6601] |
| Tom Detering , Kansas | I agree about the tour guides! Why have one of the best Space museums in the world and bad tour guides? The new boss must be stupid! 08/29/2007 @ 11:37 [ref: 6262] |
| Jack Edwards Denver, Colorado |  If you know anything at all about spaceflight, this place will BLOW YOU AWAY! I'm still in shock from seeing all the GREAT spacecraft: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo (Command Module, Lunar Module AND Lunar Rover), Soyuz -- yeah, Russian SOYUZ! -- and so much more. Even precise replicas of the first Russian and U.S. satellites, and early German rockets that influenced our space program. Really classy museum, great exhibits, well-organized and really educational -- and just plain fascinating. Even every kind of space suit (who'd have thought THAT would be fascinating?) Good thing the exhibits explain things well, because the museum's help is, well, no help. They know the names of things, and that's about it. But the exhibits pretty well speak for themselves, with lots of text, and graphics and even videos with voice, done by professional people who KNOW aerospace history. I hear that NASA's astronauts even came there to study! They've also got a FINE planetarium/IMAX theatre, which shows great space, aviation, science and nature movies on a dome -- with you essentially INSIDE the movie. Way cool. Even if you HATE space stuff, you'll LOVE the "IMAX experience." If you've never done IMAX, this is worth the trip all by itself. 08/11/2007 @ 21:17 [ref: 6223] |
| Dee Shivly Wichita, Kansas | The tour guide problems are still a problem. I took my class there and the guide turned the kids off so bad that they told me on the way home that they wish they had someone exciting to give them the tour again. I will NOT take my class back until they hire someone who can give an exciting tour! Why doesn't the new head guy solve this problem? I also agree that it is to German history heavy! 03/22/2007 @ 17:20 [ref: 5758] |
| Kim Ostland , Louisiana | I agree about the tour guides!!!!!! Also the museum is to much about the Germans!Why not start the museum tour with what happened in the early stages of rockets in the USA??? My kids came away thing the Germans started rockets!!! The guides said that they were getting a new boss! He needs to make some drastic changes or we will not go back, and ask others to boycott the place until they make some changes!!!!!!! 02/25/2007 @ 19:04 [ref: 5654] |
| Curtis Williams , Kansas |  I whent there about a year ago for the F.A.T.P. (Future Astronout Training Program) and i had a blast.I'm going again in 3 weeks. It cost a little, but I can tell you fist hand it is worth it and more. 07/17/2005 @ 14:11 [ref: 4257] |
| Steve , Kansas | I have been to all the museums in Kansas that deal with aviation and space, and this is by far the best! But like all the museums they have no paid tour guides! They have either no guides or have old retired people who have no speaking skills! The day I was there they had a high school group being given a tour, and the guide was so boring that even the teachers weren't listening! They lost a lot of future space students that day!How many students lost each year? You spark 100 in Space camp, and lose 3,000 by boring tours! What a shame! 01/29/2005 @ 23:04 [ref: 3769] |
| Dale A. Wood , Alabama | Hi, I visited the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center about 5-6 years ago, and when I was there I saw plans posted for a large rebuilding and expansion of the Cosmosphere, including the erection of a vertical Titan II missile. I wonder if these plans have been carried through. I was also impressed by the full-sized Mercury capsule that had been cobbled together from parts from manufacturers across the country. 01/15/2005 @ 18:31 [ref: 3702] |
| Denis S Vienna, Virginia | This is an incredible museum. I visited the Kansas Cosmosphere two years ago and will re-visit it in 2 weeks! This is the best space museum I see and I've visited many, including the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. Don't miss this experience. 08/18/2003 @ 17:34 [ref: 2935] |
| DAN VANARSDALL , Texas | There are are only the 2 airplanes, BUT the space stuff is incrediable. The Apollo 13 capsule is there, an actual moon rock, actual space suits the list goes on and on. P.S. I'm from Texas and I've been to NASA at Houston. Believe me, this one's better. 08/04/2003 @ 12:15 [ref: 2925] |
