I have been there at least 5 times and now I just skip the museum and look at the dish.(you have to pay admission for the Museum) The view there is quite amazing and there is a relaxing breeze. Reading Rainbow did a show there and Geordi LaForge... I mean LaVar Burton got to walk on the dish and under the dish. His access to the site and general visitors lack of access is the biggest disappointment. You can't go to the labs, you can't walk around. (Under the dish there is a greenhouse) You can't see them actually working. This no-doubt is due to the limited funding and security. Overall, it is still a good trip (including the scenic drive there) and I will probably go again to show it to someone else, but I won't go otherwise. (Unless they add the things I mentioned)
The Previous poster probably suffers from I live here syndrome(IE. NYC and the empire state building)
