Make it so: You can meet and take pics with Star Trek The Next Generation celebs

Ever picture yourself on the bridge of the starship Enterprise with members of the cast of Star Trek? You can make that dream a reality at an event in Ticonderoga, New York, this August.

The Star Trek Original Series Set Tour which hosts events with Star Trek cast and crew members at its location featuring screen accurate sets from the original series, is boldly going where it hasn't gone before bringing in three stars from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Brent Spiner, who played the pearlescent skinned and yellow-eyed android Data on the show, will be joined by Gates McFadden aka Doctor Beverly Crusher and John De Lancie who fans will know as the omnipotent entity "Q."

Both Spiner and De Lancie reprised their roles recently in the Paramount+ series, Picard, starring Sir Patrick Stewart.

The three will be appearing throughout the weekend of Aug. 19 through 21 for a variety of events engaging with fans at the set tour location, a 1 hour and 20 minute drive from Burlington.

Trekonderoga admission will be $50 per adult and $25 for a child. However, you can upgrade your experience for extra cash. Autographs will run $60 per star, a photograph with one of the stars will run you $140-$150 or a photograph with all three for $240. Each actor will host a group chat of 30 people on the bridge set where people can ask questions and have a conversation for $200. You can take the whole tour of the Enterprise sets − including the bridge, sick bay, engineering, captain's quarters, the transporter and more − while walking around with one of the actors and up to 30 people for $300, or all three for $900. Each star has an all inclusive package where you can get all of those items for $740, or $750 in Spiner's case, which also includes a live on stage event.

In addition to bringing in more Star Trek: The Next Generation stars, the Ticonderoga location is in the process of creating sets from the Enterprise D, which was featured in the show that ran from 1987 to 1994 and subsequent films. In June, the organization shared on Twitter pictures of the holodeck arch going up.

For those who haven't yet seen the original captain himself, William Shatner, he will be appearing at the Star Trek Set Tour July 15-17 and again Nov. 18-20.
