**Shuttle Trainer Tours are currently suspended.**
The Shuttle Trainer is a unique artifact with some very confined spaces. The sanitizers we use for displays and public areas may harm the artifact, so we have decided to temporarily discontinue these tours for the safety of our staff and visitors.
The Shuttle Trainer payload bay is open for visitors as normal.
In the meantime you can always experience VR tours of many of our aircraft, including the Space Shuttle Crew Compartment. Click the link below to 'Step Inside' the Shuttle Trainer!
