Bus Tour: Marshall Space Flight Center

Short of becoming a rocket scientist, there’s no better way to get a glimpse of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) than on the MSFC Bus Tour also known as the NASA Bus Tour!

Take a bus from the U.S. Space & Rocket Center for an exciting tour of the MSFC facilities, including the Propulsion Research and Development Laboratory. Don’t miss your chance to visit the Redstone Test Stand, a National Historic Landmark, where static tests of the Juno I and Mercury Redstone Launch Vehicles were performed from 1953 to 1961.

The MSFC Bus Tour ticket is $20 for guests ages five and up and children ages four and under are permitted to ride free. The tour bus departs every day at 12:30 p.m. CST from the blue awning located in front of the main entrance to the USSRC. The tour is led by a trained Museum Presenter, allowing guests to sit back and relax as the presenter explains the past, present and future of Marshall Space Flight Center.

The tour lasts approximately 2 - 2 ½ hours and returns to the main entrance at the Rocket Center.

Tickets must be purchased at the main ticket desk or call 256-721-7114 for pre-paid reservations. Please note that bus tour ticket sales close each day at 12 p.m. CST.

If you or someone in your party requires accommodations for any disability, please contact our guest services staff at (256) 721-7114 in advance. Arrangements can be made to accommodate your request.
