Space Center Houston

Absolutely loved our visit to Space Center Houston! It is a world-class facility packed with unbelievable history and interactive exhibits. Standing next to the actual Saturn V rocket was a huge highlight, and getting to touch a real piece of the moon was unforgettable. Independence Plaza is also a total must-see. It's clean, well-organized, and fascinating for both kids and adults. Easily one of the best museums I've ever been to!

Wow, a must see! Take the whole family! Get a ticket in advance to get in the building, it helps! Also get there early to avoid crowds during the weekends for sure. Plan a whole day’s visit just to see everything. All personnel are very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. There’s food and drinks available if needed. Have fun!

Vety informative and exciting place! Very clean and maintained. Food is a bit pricey and portions are small. Great place for kids and adults. Discounted Military and veterans tickets available at most military facilities.

This is our first time going here and it wasn’t so busy, but maybe because we came in the afternoon as well. So in that sense , it was great timing for us. We also bought our tickets online which came out to be about $10 cheaper than purchasing it on site. So I was very impressed with this Space Center. There is an interactive section where anyone can participate and kids love it. There are a lot of exhibits and artifacts to see. You can see the Mission Control and the Starship Gallery and take the tram to the Rocket Park. I loved the whole event and have always wanted to come and see this. Our trip was well worth it .

Space Center Houston is a great place to visit, especially for kids and anyone interested in space or science. There is so much to learn and plenty to see, so I would definitely recommend making it a full-day activity. It can get very busy, especially if you visit on a public holiday or when children are off school. I would recommend booking the earliest general admission time slot possible so you have more chance to do everything. As soon as you enter, go to the Guest Services desk on your right to book the separate timed tickets for Rocket Park and the Astronaut Training Facility tram tours. We arrived at 10:30am for general admission, but by the time we reached Guest Services at 11am, the earliest Astronaut Training Facility tour we could get was 2:30pm. If we had arrived earlier, we probably could have got an earlier slot and fitted more in. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to do the Mission Control Center tram tour as it costs extra and needed to be booked in advance. We left it too late and couldn’t get a suitable time before 12pm. Overall, it was great fun and I would definitely recommend it, especially for families with children. There are also lots of interactive activities, so allow plenty of time to explore properly.
