We found the center to be informative with lots of exhibits and films. As others have noted, the curb appeal is not there, and we almost didnt bother to stop! However, we are glad we did. How much fun would it have been if we could have watched a launch? I think it would be worth checking out the schedule and seeing that! Lots of kids were there and they seemed to be interested in the exhibits and demos - geared to all ages.

After you've made your husband follow you through the gift shops, take him here. Has a lot of space gadgets & gizmos which had hubby enthralled.

Allow at least 1-2 hours to get the full scope of the importance that Wallops Flight Facility has had in the US Space Program. Each of the thoughtful and well-executed displays merits full attention. I'll just mention one, the search for exo-planets. After this video presentation, I finally understood how scientists can determine the composition of planets, given that looking for them is like finding a firefly next to a bright light! Well worth the visit. Great for science-minded youths and older!

Visited on Sunday 25th - the day before launch of International SpaceStation Resupply Mission (Antares). Very cool exhibits - and a lot of helpful staff from Orbital company/vendor. There were press conferences, a "launch party" setup, and a lot of Orbital folks out and about preparing for the following day's launch.Definitely worth a visit if nearby.

The center has information on what happen at Wallops island. Also, there is information by way of; displays and films on how space systems are used to track what's happening on Earth. This center has lot of good information of interest to all age groups.If your are lucky you may get to see the launch of a rocket. The center has an observation deck for that purpose.

Thank goodness there is no admission cost to get in to the Wallops visitor's center . It was an interesting visit, but nothing to write home about. It has very basic displays--so you learn a little about what NASA and Wallops does. Worth a quick stop if you're in the area.

The observation deck was amazing. Satelites surround the facility, model rockets, a great learning experienece for kids! From what we were told there will be real rocket launches for repairs to the space station in 2016

Well done for all ages!! Displays are very well done and provide very useful information about both the NAV and Navy work there

Really one of the original satellite centers. They have various rockets and planes, you'll seel the planes as you on the island headed there.

As a male I am interested in rockets and so on but certainly no geek about it. The wife and I stopped here yesterday and walked around. The exhibits itself were okay and we took the elevator to the roof (lookout) area. The elevator was filthy and the lookout had nothing worth seeing. Overall it was just a so so visit.
