Are visitors allowed?
Thank you very much Alistairsam

Yes you can and I highly recommend a visit, their visitors centre is exceptional I've been there a few times, they actually have a monitor you can look at to see what vehicle is being tracked at that moment, PLUS you can stand less than 50cm away from a piece of the moon brought back to earth by one of the Apolo Missions!!! A direct quote from their site...

"you can see a piece of the Moon that's over 3.8 billion years old, check out the latest images from across the Solar System and beyond, check out spacecraft models, plus flown space hardware and memorabilia."
