    It's super convenient to scan the code directly for admission! As an official NASA attraction, this place completely exceeded expectations-real rockets and lunar modules are close at hand, and the experience of touching moon rocks is so shocking! The guided car project is highly recommended. Professional tour guides reveal the secrets of the astronaut training center and the mission control room, and even children are fascinated by it. The interactive area is super interesting, and the simulated space capsule operation and gravity experience make the whole family play and don't want to leave. The souvenir shop has a lot of exclusive aerospace peripherals at reasonable prices. The route design of the venue is scientific, and the essence can be visited in half a day. It is a must-visit for technology fans and parent-child tours! The barrier-free facilities are complete throughout the journey, and the staff are super enthusiastic. Such a high-value aerospace science base is definitely worth a second visit!

    We went to this stadium for our anniversary and had a blast. It's a great stadium that gets better every time we visit. The food and drinks were delicious. We never had a bad seat each time we were there. The view was great from every seat. Parking is available at various levels and distances around the stadium. Great job, Minute Maid! Keep it up!

    It has been a long time since I walked along the riverside road during the day. Today the weather is nice, so I walked along the river. The most popular people in Green Park are those who sing Qinqiang. This hysterical tune can sing out the desolation and indomitable spirit of the people in the northwest. Although I don't understand it, I can hear the emotions. Perhaps this is the same as singing. If you have emotional investment, you can naturally move people.
