That's a small one. We got to tour the BIG one at Moffet field years ago. Also got to walk around in the supersonic tunnel, being careful to not get too close to the slope or we'd slide down into the (stopped) fan faster than a surfer on an avalanche. Guess that should actually have some sort of guard rail for when people go inside.
