Out of this world experience
Most Extraordinary experience that was kindly given to us by the Owner, Entrepreneur Samantha. Viator listed no starting time for the tour, but Perplexity ai - gave us the telephone number and graciously Samantha offered an “out of this world” experience, along with the background for each project. •Simply a wonderful 80th birthday tour, for my husband, also a Military Veteran. •We wish Samantha and her team the greatest success with making more 3d machines for custom projects - that give back to the community, repurposing trash and plastics, into all kinds of things, such as prosthetics, to making protectants for reentry from the planet Mars into our atmosphere, to rocket ships, tables, lamps, parts that no one makes anymore. Samantha-thank you so much for sharing your wonderfully adventurous, generous, creative life and thank you for your time. Many kisses to the dog and the goats Ana Paula & Jay Eddy
Response from the operator: Thank you for the very kind review! Days later I am still smiling and thinking about the lovely visit. It was a huge honor for our team to host someone on their 80th birthday milestone, especially a couple such as yourselves that are so invested in community building! Please give your new puppy Wilson a kiss from us (and your other dogs:)!

Coolest 3D Printer Factory Tour
Michael gave my family and I an AMAZING tour!!! He is gifted at explaining the science and tech behind 3D printing and the current company projects. Also, we got to meet the re:3D CEO and take a 3D printed rocket home 🥳🥳 This tour is super fun and you learn a lot!!! I 1,000% recommend 😄
Response from the operator: Thanks so much Keren! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the tour and we loved having you visit. Come back any time!

If I could give this 10 stars instead of 5, I would!
This was a truly amazing tour. It almost felt like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory to get this exclusive peek behind the scenes at this pioneering 3d printer company, everything from the tech to the conference room to the dogs (and goats!). Out of everything we did in Austin, my teen/college age kids ranked this their favorite activity, and we went the week of SXSW so that is saying a lot! We felt David was extremely generous with his time, as well.
Response from the operator: Thanks very much Barry! We loved hosting you and your family and showing you around. So glad you had a great time!

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Austin.
How much does 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket! cost?
+
Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Austin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket! take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Austin is not rushed.
Is 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Austin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket!?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Austin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Austin and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Austin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Austin?
+
Austin's activity list runs on food and water: barbecue crawls to the pits that sell out by noon, Lady Bird Lake kayaking under the Congress Avenue bat colony, live music walks on Rainey and Red River, and Hill Country wine and distillery runs. We weight timing detail in the ranking, because a barbecue tour that arrives after the brisket is gone is a different product entirely. On Outty we rank every Austin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Austin: Hill Country BBQ & Wine Shuttle, Best of Austin Small-Group Driving Tour with Local Guide, The Escape Game: Epic 60-Minute Adventures in Downtown Austin. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Austin?
+
March to May and October to November, avoiding the triple-digit summer. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Austin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket!?
+
Included: A 2 ft. tall Gigabot 3D printed rocket (one per group of 15)!; and A hands-on guided tour of our factory, with photo ops!. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket!?
+
re:3D, Inc. 1201 Old Bastrop Hwy. Austin, TX 78742 Look for the door that says "Mission Control" Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket! offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket!?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket! wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to 3D Printer Factory Tour plus 2 ft Tall Rocket! if the weather is bad?
+
