Wonderful place, take the tour and see all you can. I love space and anything related and will now share my photo from 1996 when I was 16.

Wow! What a great adventure we had. Reliving all of the amazing space accomplishments and learning what the future holds for space exploration! Reasonable in pricing. Do your research do you dont forget the timed entry ticket and to book your tram tour. Go USA! To infinity and beyond!

Worth checking out if your in the Houston area. A bit of a drive out of the downtown area but thats what youd expect. I would also suggest getting there for when it opens if you dont want to wait in a big line for a tour. We went on a weekday, but it seems like lots of field trips happen here so it was busy...Really interesting place to check out, its amazing what theyve accomplished and its a really well maintained and laid out place. There were tours of the campus and astronaut center, and lots of interactive exhibits. You can also look at rockets and even go inside an old one.Would suggest at least 4 hours here.

I got to take my dad here when he was in town. Hed always been a science nerd and this was a kind of fulfillment for him. Im so glad I got to be a reason for him to go. Besides that, I had fun walking around being philosophical and remembering when I seriously wanted to be an astronaut. ...and the gift shop is decent.

I found on the NASA for the mission Control! I have to do learning about to how to launch the rocket for this time. A astronauts will be asked to going to space for going to the moon. I give you 6 stars for being a helpful jobs! They are working hard about learning the launch the rocket! Use the controls to how to launch our rocket! This one is made of Houston Texas. How do they children doing. Taken the photos to get excited those!

Whatever you do dont miss this place! Place thats combining the glory history of the space program with the historic event such as landing on the moon, and the modern space program. The museum is making you so proud in NASA and America thats people and very smart one think of all that. And thats a big thing.

NASA Mission control center tour was a great learning experience on the space missions. The prototype and model modules will help us to understand the how the control system works. The tram tour to Mission control center was a great experience where you can see the real time status of various satellites including international space station.

I’ve been coming Houston for about 5 years now and none of my Housyon friends have ever wanted to take me to NASA.Well at last I had a out of town friend of mine to take here and now I can understand why.It really didn’t live up to expectation. We got given no information about the attractions at car park entry (which you have to pay for!!!!!!) or when we bought our tickets. We just entered the complex and really had no Idea what and were to go.We went on there train ride and waited about 45 min to get on. They were so slow at loading. It had rained about 30 min previously and when the trains came in they then had to spend 10 min wiping the seats down. You would think this would be done before the trains came in to load passengers.We only spent about three hours at NASA and wouldn’t be keen on going back anytime soon.

Spent considerable time to see each and everything in nasa and also the guided bus tours. Watched movie and took some rides here. It’s a super busy place and it can take 3-4 hours to cover everything and may be more. My kids loved exploring and had fun time. Parking costs like 5$ and the nasa tour costs upward of 20$.

I saw real time astronauts coming back from a space walk In Live! Omg such an awesome place️

Houston, we have a problem - This popular phrase was received at this very centre during one of the many missions to space all controlled from this NASA Mission Control Center. Were told there is already plan on the way to have people leaving on the moon. This attraction is included in your ticket to the NASA Space Center at Houston.

Our experience was not so good unfortunately. We arrived at 1:30pm and explored all the exhibits in the main entrance building which were amazing but when we went to book the tram to the other buildings it said that the tram was not accepting any more reservations so we missed out on the best part of the visit. There is no signage or indication that the tram stops running or they stop taking reservations almost 2 hours before they close. We spoke to the information desk and they could not help us at all so we walked away very disappointed from our visit considering that we had come all the way from Miami to see it.

Super fun. Definitely should go. Treat you and your kiddos in your life. Such a real treat.

Great pkace to visit and bring to kids. Very educational. We took mission control tour. Theres lots of animals on the site as well.

Really enjoyed the tour of NASA Mission Control Center. Our group visited this facility after finishing with a 12 mile bike ride around the NASA facility. Just missed a space walk that occured, but was great to see how things work. Very friendly staff and, excellent tour. I recommend it to anyone that can get a glimpse of this facility and experience everything it has done past, present, and future.

They did an amazing job in making everything exactly like it was in really letting you live in that moment when a man first stepped on the moon. Congratulations to all those people that must have put in a lot of hours. Very very impressive

Whatever you do dont miss this place!Place thats combining the glory history of the space program with the historic event such as landing on the moon, and the modern space program.The museum is making you so proud in NASA and America thats people and very smart one think of all that. And thats a big thing.The average time you will spend there could take 4 hours.If you are navigating make sure you are going the parking museum.Parking fee around 5$ and adults entering is 29$. Worth every penny.The first beautiful thing that will catch your eye is the amazing 747 thats carried the space shuttle.Inside you will find a souvenir shop, food court toilet, playing places for the children and so much more.Dont miss the tour with the train to the inside visitors center.There is one for hour tour and hour and a half tour. Ask for details there and see what is the best option for you.Enjoy and have fun!

Lived here all my life and never visited the space center. Went with granddaughter and family while they were here for Thanksgiving. Great time, very interesting and informative. Would like to go back and see things I missed on this visit.

Amazing!!!!!!! A must when in Houston. You get to walk inside the space shuttle. See where the astronauts train, the control center, the history of NASA. Just incredible!!!!!

One of the must visit places in Houston. Very educative and a wonderful experience.

This is just another fine exhibition in this amazing complex. Very informative, well guided tour. Plenty of time to ask questions and see working astronauts aboard the international space station.

We were fortunate to complete the Apollo 11 mission tour on the very day the mission launched 50 years ago. We sat in the very spot that visitors sat during the initial launch. The tour was like looking at a time capsule of the mission. Highly recommend this tour, make sure to visit customer service as soon as you arrive at the Space Center to get a tour time. The Apollo mission tour is limited and slots fill up fast.

Very cool tour through the history of space exploration. If you can go during a week day youll get to see NASA scientists in action.

I didnt want to go to Texas, but I thought, if I must, then im going to bloody Nasa. Its a great idea, that I feel could have been so much better, theres 2 main tours.We did one that was supposedly the more interesting of the two.. You sit on this little trolley for an hour, get off once to have a wander inside and have a look at a few things being worked on, and then youre taken back.Its a little like a woman when they go on a date with me, I treat her well over text and promise a big game, and then finally you get to the bedroom and its a bit of a letdown, you go with it, as it gets the job done, but you leave slightly disappointed and with a bad taste in your mouth.:)

A truly amazing experience to actually go behind the scenes of the first manned moon landing. Make sure you get to thebspace center and grab your free tram ticket to the mission control center. The tourbus guided while the experience in the center is supported by a wonderful presentation, where you also get to see the functioning of this mission control center.

I enjoyed Mission Control more over the space center. There’s a tremendous amount of nostalgia here. All the same, it would have been nice to see the buildings and areas in a nicer state of repair.Something I learned while touring mission control is that, the US flag atop the building at mission control, flys whenever a US Astronaut is in space at the International space station. There has been a US flag flying over the building everyday for 20 some years. There’s always a US Astronaut in space at the space station.

Pretty awesome place to visit, was fortunate to go on a lovely day. Youll spend a couple of hours here at least so make sure you go there not to rush through it.

Doesnt get any better than this. You can see all the mission control stations and screens, and see the location of the ISS at any time. When theres signal, you get to see exactly what the NASA team sees, and watch them interact. We were lucky enough to have a couple members of the team talk to us about what the ISS team was doing and what was planned in the near future.

Super cool and informative staff gave me us a tour that I will not forget anytime soon. The renewed Apollo 11 control area was awesome to see. The ISS portion was amazing to see the live feeds from the station and what is being monitored!

A very cool experience to see the mission control and the entire NASA campus. They have a FFA area with real Longhorns, a nature preserve with deer, rabbits, and other critters (we even saw deer from the tram!), and the original bikes from the 60s which are kept restored and used by the employees today! A truly fascinating experience. You must check it out!

Cool place. Get there early to avoid lines.

Already been here several times and it still fascinates me every time! as they change the focus regularly there is always something new to learn. when I went they showed a lot about Mars. the tours are very crowded and we had to wait a bit but it was definitely worth it!

Great tour taking you back to 69 and you are able to hear the entire communication until eagle has landed. I am so glad that history is being preserved and ordinary people can be part of this huge achievement.

A true emblem of the American space program, the Christopher C. Kraft Jr. Mission Control Center is arguably the biggest highlight of the tram tour at Space Center Houston. Being able to see the White Room, which functioned as Mission Control for the latter years of the Space Shuttle Program, and is soon to be put back in action for the Artemis program, is really something special. You really cant appreciate the atmosphere of it all unless you visit for yourself.

Do not buy NASA tickets till end of August 2019 to avoid heavy restoration in mission control center. It is absolutely worthless to go there to see mess similar to roadside construction site. Total disappointment and felt cheated!!

Indescribable experience. Literally taken back to Apollo. Awesome. Cant wait to revisit in years to come. Amazing how far we have come.

Incredible experience if you are interested in what all the space missions are about. I learned a lot, looking forward for the next years. Will visit again soon

Back in 1989, I had the opportunity to be one of 36 international educators who were selected to participate in the annual International Teachers Space Camp held at the NASA Mission Control Center. For two weeks, we visited different divisions within NASA Mission Control, getting to do some of the same training exercises that real astronauts undergo, we heard talks from former and future astronauts and their preparation for space missions, and watched presentations by space scientists currently working on missions for NASA. It was a very rewarding experience for me as an international school teacher and as a person.

Lots of fun. Much of the info is meant for older kids but they do a good job keeping it engaging for everyone. I would NOT recommend young children on the tram tours, especially if the weather isnt great - there is very little for them to see that will interest them.

Good place to visit. Learn new every time you visit.

Awesome place to visit. A lovely place to go with family. Kids will love it

Neal on the level 9 tour was awesome knew his stuff and made it very fun

Loved the experience!Really amazing place!A must go when visiting Houston

Lines lines and lines everywhere. You wull see very little. 3 hours line for the bus outside which brings to some sort of rockets Park (?!).We will never know. . Money wastedThey claimed to have sent people to the space, but did not manage to engineer a system to control the (literally) neverending lines everywhere. Stay away. Not worth it

I sat in the very chair HRH did to watch the moon landing again. The attention to detail in this place is a real credit to those involved.

Really interesting and defianately worth the visit. Make sure you don’t loose the slot to visit the mission control centre. There is o kyp a couple of slot per day and you need to pay attention and go to the meeting point on time

The Apollo Mission Control cant be missed during your visit!! It has recently been restored to its original State and it is INCREDIBLE!!

The first time My ESA was allowed in so I purchased a year long membership but upon return, wasn’t allowed entry bc ESA’s aren’t ‘service animal’ enough. There’s stigmas on mental illness and with ADA it’s no different. ESA’s do provide a service just different from, say, a blind person.

Well preserved original Apollo mission control. A great historic treasure.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and she knew what she was talking about. No flash photography allowed.

Went on the tour and although visually interesting we have been on better informative tours. Could not understand what was said and eventually the speaker went off all together. Inside was very good.

Great place for Kids . Highly recommend!

Such a cool your and such a neat way to integrate the moon landing as they saw it by simulating the command center in real time. Loved it!

This is a bucket list trip to visit July 20, 1969, as it happened, live before you. Sn incredible world resource...

What a great place this was l. My wife and loved it. My little ones were a bit to young to under stand, but my daughter loved the space shuttle.

It was a great experience at NASA. Ppl should spend some time to visit the facility centre and to attend other shows.

They have restored the original mission control room which was used for controlling Apollo 11 mission where Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon! They show video clips of what happened during the mission briefly. Very fascinating to experience!

Great to see how space missions were controlled.

Great place to spend the day learning about NASAs Space program from its inception and into the future.

The mission control room could have been better, more interactive and making visitors felt more connected to the mission. Suggest to make a video of a real live feed from an old clip or remake a scene of how mission control is run. Now, the tour felt like just a quick stop, someone rushing through herds of tour groups.

I was impressed to come here, so much history about this place. Sadly, you wait a long time to take a trolley to come here. They are very old and we heard nothing because of the noise they make. A long boring ride. A visit to the mission control with a guide that had nothing to say. Happy I came because I see it but I would have love to hear from the history behind those glass wall.

Nice place to visit with your kids. Fun & educational.One of the best places to visit around the Houston area. This place is part of Space Center Houston, dont forget to catch the 90-min tram tour to visit this place and the Apollo Mission Control center. The only problem is the queue to the trams have long waiting times. (Sometimes)There are some allocated times for the tours and you can get tickets free of charge near the reception area using the kiosk (This tour wont cover the Rocket Park).

Ive always been a big fan this place. Anybody that comes to town to visit or for the first time was granted a visit to our one and only Nasa Mission Control Houston we have a problem . But this year you have to book prior to be able to go to the historical space control room. I dont know why they had to go make it complicated when before all you had to do was get in line for your tram tour. I do think the Holidays lights show was great and hope to see it every Xmas season to come.

Really cool how they have redone this room. The immersive landing mission you get to watch is really cool. Unfortunately it focuses entirely on the one mission to the moon and you do not get info on the artifacts found in that room like you use to. Id say they could easily add a 5 to 10 minute intro about the room and the historic artifacts found within it, then start the experience.

Even though the control center was under renovation in this picture, it still felt significant. The speaker did a great job as well.

Newly restored and amazing to see exactly what was seen on apollo 11 landing

A visit to the MCC is part of one of the two tours. This is where most peak space missions happened, and its a sight for the sore eyes. But the current center is elsewhere, and can be seen on the TV screen to the left. The center is visible through a glass partition, and someone briefs you through its history.

Spectacular dont miss this when you are in Houston!

This is the second time Ive done NASAs Level 9 tour and I loved it. Again. Lots of access that you dont get with the standard tram tour. Pricey but worth it.

Mission control 8s at the heart of all of NASAs forays into space. The tour into the facility provides a great insight into support structures and all of the personnel behind the scenes that make exploration into space possible. Its not just the people that get people into space, theres a whole lot of staff that research and unravel the mysteries of the scientific experiments that are performed by astronauts and robotic probes.

Loved this place got to see things I thought I would never have seen!

A really great experience. Not exciting but so much history and youll want to be in the same room (almost, its the observatory seating) that the mission control staffs watch over the launches and our astronauts its truly a breathtaking moment when you realize what goes into launching watching over and bringing the astronauts home.The whole experience probably only takes no more than 20 minutes while youre actually in the observatory. And the guide gives about a 15-minute talk about the mission control center.

Great day well worth visit and doing both tours

Great place, totally worth visiting. Be aware that all the tours are going to take time, and all of them are worth it. It is just amazing what humans can do.

Current manned mission is the International Space Station. This room has the very updated flat-screen consoles compared to the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo Green Console and the Space Shuttle Blue Console. The Orion program is being designed and spun up for manned missions starting in a couple years.

My dad worked here. Best place for awe inspiring glance into far out tech.

Ive always been a fan of space, and seeing the actual room where the moon landings were commanded from was absolutely amazing. I really cant describe the feeling of seeing the perfectly preserved room and hearing what it was like for mission control during Apollo 11.

Great place for out of town visitors. It’s a fun filled day.

Great museum and learning opportunity. This is a fascinating visit worth the trip. I am looking forward to another trip to see the new Mars exhibit.

I myself have been to the control center on 4 different occasions. The first time, all the old equipment was on display. A few years later, it had all been updated to PCs and flat screen monitors. The 3rd time, it had just recently been designated a historical land mark and put back to its original configuration. My wife and I spent our Honeymoon at NASA this past weekend and saw the show that went with the tour. We were in our early teens when this great event happened. It was wonderful to see as much of the center restored as it was on the day of the moon landing. Did anyone ask about the flowers? I meant to ask but in asking other questions, I forgot to.It was an awesome experience.

Such a cool place to go so worth visiting

Great tour. Mission control is awesome!

Awesome place. If you are fascinated by history or space... Mission Control Center is a must see. They have done a fantastic job of making you feel this place. It is like going back in time and witnessing the lunar landing from mission control. If you can only take one tram tour Id recommend this one.

I was here while visiting my sister who lives in Downtown Houston. We spent a whole day here to walk around and see rockets. Unfortunately I didnt get to try the Stimulation they had since it had a very long line. These rockets were much much bigger than how we see it on TV.

More appropriate for older kids. When booking the tram tours double check as there is one tour for mission control and the other separate tour for the Saturn V rocket... Which we ran out of time for :(

Awesome adventure!

So good we got to see where they all worked in the control center where they control the first moon landing. It was amazing to see all the old technology and how they managed to do all of that with so little technology.

Amazing how they have preserved it from the Apollo program.

Don t take the mission control tour. There is no mission control, only an empty room where it used to be. You will made to be wait for any tour around 45 minutes, even when there is hardly a guest. Impressive museum. Pizza costs 30$

The whole NASA museum was well worth it. Most things say people spend 2 to 5 hours, it should read 5 to 7 hours there is so much to see. There is something for all ages, we all really had a good time. Would go back soon to see some parts we missed.

Coupled with Johnson Space Center you will not be disappointed. Its entirely awesome what has occured here in the last 60+ years as well as what goes on every day still by managing the Intl Space Station. This place is the very real deal.

Took my son for his 10th birthday love it!!

A must see...interesting to see where all the activities take place....only one person talks to the astronaut in space. We could also see where the ISS was currently located in the world

Its amazing where you took us

One of the must-visit attractions in town. Be sure to take the bus tour inside.

Super interesting to be live at such a meaningful place

I was impressed on this tour and learned interesting information.

This place is worth more than my ratings. However they wasted our 2 hours, just waiting for the Tram tours. Not only both tours has long wait time but repeats most parts!? These both tours can be easily combined into one to save visitors precious time.

The place where exploring the space started

Excellent replay of the excitement and challenges in the lunar landings. Not to be missed!
