Space Center Houston

Torn between a child's dream of visiting and the fact that it was just rammed to the hilts.... Extremely busy, (Monday non half term) uncomfortable so. Long lines to get in but in fairness they moved really quick. All the staff seemed friendly and happy that we encountered. Tram tours are nice, loads to see, read and take part in. VR is extra charge The food court is nice in terms of options and freshness. The BBQ was a particular highlight. However expect to pay tourist prices for everything.... Two shops on site. One large merch shop and one small merch shop. Good choice of merch but once again expect to pay a premium. Enjoyed the day out but pack your patience as it's required given the number of people visiting at once. If you don't drive Uber and Lyft will pick you up in the car park no worries there. If you pre buy your tickets, you can save quite a bit using the city pass scheme

You cannot miss this place! Go out of your way to see it if you have to! There is so much to see and learn. Imagine walking the entire gigantic length of a Saturn V rocket used for Apollo. With all the exploits of the American achievements in the race to the moon laid out along in giant photo montages and descriptions. Yep, you can do that. Or, climb into one of the Space Shuttle test craft while it’s still strapped to a 747. Yeah, you can do that too. 😀 The place is absolutely packed with artifacts from many other space related endeavors and celebrates all the current manned mission planning and history. It’s a really easy to navigate and enjoyable kind of space too. And then there’s the NASA store. They have a really incredible selection of everything NASA related, including a fabulous selection of mission patches.

So many things to see and do. It’s an interactive, and educational and just plain awe inspiring. We came in on a late Sunday morning and beat the crowds. Our lines for the tours were not long (although the Mission Control was ‘sold out’). The price is worth the adventure. We will probably come back.

Lots of great exhibits and so much to see. Plan on spending a full day here. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Be sure to get your tram tickets right away and plan your day around those and the videos/presentations you want to see. The campus tour is only scheduled for 35 minutes but you can get off at Rocket Park if you’d like (and I recommend you do). Here you’ll probably spend at least an hour between going through the exhibit and then waiting to catch the next tram back.

Amazing Experience at NASA Space Center Houston! Visiting NASA Space Center Houston was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the interactive exhibits, real spacecraft, and hands-on activities. Some highlights included the tram tour to Johnson Space Center, where we saw Mission Control and the Astronaut Training Facility. Standing next to the massive Saturn V rocket was incredible, and getting inside the Space Shuttle Independence was a surreal experience. We even got to touch a real moon rock! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit even better. Whether you're a space enthusiast or just looking for a fun, educational experience, this place is a must-visit. Can't wait to come back!
