Really had great tour of Nasa Space Center. We only got the general tour on the day we arrived which was Saturday, so if you are looking to get tour of mission control as well, please check in advance (mostly on week day). It took us around 4.5 hours to explore mostly all the tour components.

Great place to visit! On Sunday, there were a lot of people and a long line to the tram, but it went quite fast. Several halls to explore. The most interesting ones for us were Rocket Park (need to ride a tram) and the shattle.
Online tickets save you $5 each.

Fun and interactive place to visit in Houston. So many cool things to see and learn from. Definitely a must visit if you are in the area of Houston Texas.

First time stopping here and was very impressed with all it had to offer. Plenty of things to read up on and learn about our missions to space. Ended up spending a couple hours looking at all the various displays. Would visit again in the future!

The whole family had a great time! We arrived @ 0900. We did the training facility tour @ 0920 (get a pass from customer service as you walk in), then we did the shuttle tour on our own right after. We had enough time to do the Saturn tour before lunch and missed the crowd! We prebooked our Mission tour @ 1320. Definitely helped going early as we missed all the rush and crowds. We spent about 7 hours and it was worth it!

Had a great time at the Space Center and took the afternoon Astronaut Training tour which was fun and informative. I was compelled to do a lot of reading at the exhibits as I found they were the right length and well written. Between the tour and looking at the exhibits, we spent the better part of 5 hours onsite. Easy parking ($10) and a nice size museum.

Must-see attraction in Houston

Plenty of exhibits, shows, and historical artifacts to check out. I'd highly recommend making sure to incorporate the tram tour (to either the Mission Control or Astronaut training facility) into your visit.

I found the show schedule extremely confusing to figure out. The shows are only listed on one area and the listed locations don't match the actual names on the brochure map.

Other: Food court is solid. The Indian place offers a healthy, affordable option.

Had a blast at The Johnson Space Center and their Galaxy Lights! It was fairly pricey at $28/adult (+$10/car) but they also had the indoor space open, so you could tour the space center and enjoy the outdoor lights. We took our 3 year old granddaughter along. We spent 3 hours there, between the lights and the museum. In addition to all the amazing space history, the light show in the front entry was mesmerizing. We got drizzled on all evening and even that didn’t dampen the mood. When we left, our little our wasn’t ready to go. 😅
