    My son and I took the Mars flight and had a great time! Although this was educational entertainment, nobody noticed as we worked together as a team to accomplish our "mission." I met people from 5 to 60+ and everyone appeared to be having a great time. As we were leaving all we could hear were enthusiastic comments from those around us. My son was bubbling with excitement and wants to return with his Dad who couldn't make it that day. Anyone with an interest or a love for astronomy will love this and anyone who doesn't will definitely start to get interested in astronomy! The staff and volunteers there were terrific, friendly, and just plain fun! Our mission leaders were the ones who really made our experience fantastic! I definitely recommend this as a family outing, a fun date, or something fun with friends! Go check out some space and have fun! Collapse
