Tips for your visit 

• If you are leaving your pets at the free on-site pet kennel available near the entrance, remember to take along a copy of your dog’s proof of vaccination record and your valid government-issued ID. 
• Plan your visit around the pre-scheduled events, like Chat with an Astronaut, that you are attending. Make sure you’re near that building around the time your experience begins.
• If you may need special assistance, pick up the Guest Accessibility Pass at the  Information Center so that crewmembers will know you may require assistance with sensory sensitivities. 
• Since there is going to be a lot of walking between the various Mission Zones and standing time in general, we recommend you wear walking or sports shoes to keep you comfortable throughout your visit.
