FAQs

We accommodate large and student groups traveling on their own bus (tour/charter coach or school/district bus). These are private, by-request tours; our guide boards your bus and leads the experience. Availability depends on spaceport operations. Email cr@finalfrontiertour.com to arrange dates, logistics, and pricing.

Spaceport America is a working, secure facility—both an FAA-licensed spaceport and a prior-permission-required (PPR) airport. Because real operations take priority, mission schedules, airfield/airspace restrictions, and safety or security requirements can close areas with little notice. When that happens, tours may need to be postponed or canceled; we’ll notify you as soon as possible with options.

Traveled out of ToC on Saturday for afternoon tour. Drove by Elephant Butte Dam on way to facility. Drove by Amendaris Ranch and Santa Fe train line. Drove by cattle ranches before reaching Spaceport. Stopped at large sculpture. Visited Mission Control facility with only 5 computer consoles. Drove on 12,500‘ runway. The end of tour was highlight. Saw the spacecraft used last year.
Enjoyed the 2g flight simulator that can go to 3g.

Imagine sitting in the cockpit of a space vehicle and launching from a two-mile-long runway in the middle of a New Mexico desert. Imagine the heart-pounding, dizzying effect of weightlessness in outer space.

I learned about this by chance at the last minute but we were lucky enough to be able to reserve slots. The hosts Chris and Curtis were great and the tour was very interesting. We went from Las Cruces on a Friday but I understand it also leaves from Truth and Consequences on Saturdays. Visit if you can.

Interesting & informative tour with Curtis & Chris. My husband is a space nerd so knew he would love it and I just came along for the tour. But I absolutely loved the tour also!
