Wallops Flight Facility

It's a really cool place and you can see the launch pads far off in the distance. All the cool stuff is not open to the public so it's not a place worth planning a whole trip for unless there's a rocket launch. The only place open for public is the visitor center with some sounding rockets on display outside and a small museum you'll go through in like 30 minutes. Really cool! Although I really want to check out their rocket assembly facilities (restricted to public). It's great to stop by though if you planned a trip to Chincoteague Island which is really close by (that's what I did).

Wallops Flight Facility was an unfortunate disappointment and was not worth the 41 mile drive from Ocean City, MD. As much as I love flight and all things NASA, I didn't find anything all that interesting about the place. At least 5 of the exhibits were out of order and the movies (2) weren't all that interesting either. I don't think you'll need more than 30 minutes, and unless it's a launch day I would not recommend going out of your way to visit the place. If Wallops is within your path, or no more than 10 miles out, it is worth giving a shot. Maybe the exhibits will be working. There are only 5-6 small rockets to see; the rest are models inside the visitor center.

Got to see Wallops Flight Facility in a specialized tour as a member in the Virginia Space Coast Scholars Summer Program. Great Experience!

I mean it was Ok? But the rocket thingy didn't really go up that much at all and instead went all out in all different directions really fast and glowed a nice yellow color for a while. Then a bunch of people ran over to where I had moored my sailboat by the pad thing? And anyway they were very rude to me and I really didn't appreciate being called a 'dumb idiot', I mean it wasn't my rocket that didn't go up, right?

I go on vacation in Trails End right next to the facility. I like the aircraft that goes by while I'm fishing, very nice place. Welcome center is cool too.
