Awesome place to visit. Lot of things to see. A good number of rockets to see and learn about. A must visit if you are in Houston. Lot of cool stuffs.The staffs are helpful. There is no charge for parking. We bought the Houston city tour pass $65+ taxes. Its valid for 30 days and has lot of places entry tickets included in it.

Really fun to see the space program and all the exhibits. Would love to revisit after covid. The holiday lights were really cool. Highly recommend

Such a wonderful experience! It truly reminds you of how far weve come as a society. From beginning to finish, it was a seemingly easy endeavor. The staff were extremely helpful and assisted in downloading the app (best if done before you get there) and queuing for the two tram tours (training complex and rocket park). There were so many exhibits any such a vast variety of sights to see! We went on both tram tours, watched the fifteen minute movie, saw the 747 shuttle carrier, and the Falcon 9 rocket. That you us about 3.5 hours and we definitely could have stretched it out longer. I would say get there early. At 10-11a, I felt it wasnt busy at all (during the week in October) and we were able to take our time. As the day carried on, it became progressively busier.If youve never been here, it is A MUST!!! Go already, you wont be sorry!

I can’t say enough about this place - very inspirational and full of history! I highly recommend taking their morning tour! We didn’t expect that it would be convicted before the museum is even open, so your group will have so much time and space to explore, take pictures and ask questions! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I also recommend coming on the days when you can sit and listen to the real astronaut! You won’t hear those stories anywhere else!!! Such a cool place! I wish it would be bigger and had even more things to look at - loved everything about it!

Great family activity especially if you have young kids. Love the educational and fun aspect of the center. Especially the 1 hr tour where you get through The rocket and see the falcon 9 and it was very informative.

If youre in the Houston area, you might as well drop by this place. I did the $50 Space Expert Tour. It was very interesting. The tour took you on a tram to their other site where they keep the other rockets. It was 1.5 hours long and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I dont think you need to pay for parking because when I got there at 8:50AM and left at 11AM, no one was attending the gate and people were just driving in to park. Save yourself $5 and dont buy your parking pass online.

Space Center Houston was an excellent museum to visit. Our highlight was seeing the newly retired Falcon 9 Spacex rocket which flew the CRS-11 and CRS-13 missions. It was truly amazing to be able to see and touch such an amazing piece of history and flight hardware! There are several other extraordinary exhibits including a Saturn 5, the Apollo 17 command module, the test lunar module, and a converted 747 to transport the Space Shuttle model Independence. One thing I wish that was better would be the labeling system for their artifacts, some were not labeled in such a way that you knew if they were flight proven or replicas of the real thing.

Great place to learn about an unseen portion of our space history. People forget behind those astronauts are a lot of people making sure the mission goes smooth or has answers if they need it.We were lucky and got to see both the rocket park with the Saturn 5 and the astronaut training facility. The guide we had was great and kept the tour interesting and fun.Safety and protection from covid19 was very good and thorough in the main building and on the tram. Well worth the trip if in the area.

My twin 13-year-old boys enjoyed every exhibit. We spent over 5 hours here and took it all in. Dont forget to get some astronauts ice cream for dessert for later. Its our new family tradition!

As an aspiring engineer, I was very excited to see this museum and had high expectations. It totally met those expectations! I think they probably let too many people in at once (considering COVID) and all of the hands-on entertainment was still open, including the arcade, which I would say is currently unsafe given the circumstances. Although, they do a good job of offering some other hands-off entertainment as you move through the exhibits such as speeches by real astronauts and tram rides through the NASA center. Whether youre a couple on a date or a family of 5, this place has something interesting for you especially if you love science and space!

We came down from Dallas to visit here. This place was absolutely amazing, the last time I had been was when I was 8 years old. We spent 7 hours at the Space Center and my family enjoyed every minute. They had tons of hands on stuff for kids to do. They had a pop up science lab and the employee that conducted the lab was great. Children can learn a lot of scientific principles. The employees were very friendly and helpful. This is definitely a place worth visiting in your lifetime.

We (2 adults) visited the space center with no expectations, and had a great time learning about NASA. While a lot of the space center was geared more towards children or young adults, there is enough sophistication to entertain us adults too.The best part for us was the tram tour which takes you to the NASA compound, and into some of the buildings, training centers and finally to see a Saturn V rocket which was HUGE and super cool to get up and close with.Definitely recommend for all ages and family sizes

What a great experience. Theyre slowly opening up more tours of the NASA facility. We had planned on only being there for about 3 hours. Ended up staying the whole day. And still didnt see everything. This is definitely a must if youre in the Houston area.

It was cool to experience on our way to the beach in Galveston. Everyone had on Masks. It was nice and clean. I highly recommend it especially if you are taking kids. I hope you enjoy my pictures, hit the like button or follow me

Space Center Houston tours are fantastic. Theyre coronavirus-safe. Call ahead to see whats on the tours. Picture is of the simulator lab where the astronauts train. The auditorium movie is a great retrospective. The Mission Control rooms (there are five of them now) are mostly unavailable ffor tours for obvious reasons. A new exhibit with the Falcon 9 has been added that is interesting if you can get it on a tour. The always popular Saturn V Park is definitely a highlight of the tour.

Super fun place. I enjoyed every minute of it.Saturn V is incredible. Im still overwhelmed!!!If you are visiting Houston and you like science and Space, you should definitely visit this place.You will be able to take a tour around NASA facility. You will see Saturn V in person!There are about 200 deers that live in the NASA area.We were on Tuesday, there were no people!

Except my son, who was absolutely fascinated by the Space Center, me and my husband totally loved it. The people there are very nice and professional and all the details from space are amazing. We consider ourselves very lucky to have visited the place and we I recommend it to anyone who is curious about our space missions:)

We were excited to check this attraction out given with both like flight history and space exploration. We went on a weekday. Not every busy. Easy parking. Kind of confusing where to go in. Tickets were a bit pricey at $30/person + $5 to park.There is a lot to see right when you walk in. A bit overwhelming as to where to start. They suggest using the Space Center Houston app in order to figure out what sort of tour you want to do: Astronaut, Mission Control, Engineer, etc. They were helpful- only downside is the steps were a bit all over the place from one side of the holding to the other. You also use the app to “order” tickets for the Tram Tour. Due to COVID, you have to get a boarding pass (free) so they don’t overload seats for social distancing.The Tram Tour was definitely a highlight. It took you over to see the Saturn 5 in the building it is housed. It is amazing! The guide was vey helpful and had lots of great details about the rocket. It is a sight to see! It was only 30-40 minutes long. Had hoped you would get to see more things or perhaps more about Mission Control.The other must see exhibit is the plane that carried the shuttle Independence which is set up outside. It is a sight to see itself and had lots of incredible details inside. A must see! One of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is outside as well.We also watched the movie in the theater. It is worthwhile. We meandered through the rest of the exhibits. They were “okay” but I felt that lacked a bit of depth. Seemed more “Disney-ish” rather than substantive. Near where we live in Ohio there is a Neil Armstrong space center - felt although it is much more dated, it had more detailed exhibits.One benefit it that everything is very handicap accessible. And all COVID guidelines followed. Wish we would have spent the $50/each and done the guided tour. But it started at 9am only and we were coming from 3 hours away so it wasn’t feasible.

Very cool place to visit. Good precautions for social distancing and wearing of masks with active cleaning and sanitation visible. Visited once as a child and remember it was boring self guided space junk yard tour. Now dynamic, interactive, and educational. Too much to see in a short visit. Come to stay for the day to get the full effect. Very enjoyable day.

As a tourist this place is a must visit in Houston, Texas! So cool and interesting to see what this places has to offer. I love NASA and anything related to space. Around holiday season they usually have their own light show which is also super cool! Go with your friends and enjoy the place

I love the place. They have free guided tours on the little trains, I almost missed it because it wasnt clear how to get abord. I think it worth visiting. Gift shop is also cool.

Wonderful experience. Very clean. Ari at the Boom show was great. Reid was a fun and informative guide on the tram tour. Only food available though, was prepackaged sandwiches etc. Will definitely be returning soon.

If you are visiting Houston this is definitely the place you must see. Looking at these gigantic spacecrafts and hi tech models i really getting proud for our humankind. It is absolutely amazing how far we could make in such a short period of time. The exhibition is demonstratively showing our aspiration and our success.

Wonderful galaxy lights at NASA today! Great for kids and to take pictures. You can go into a couple of spaceships. Masks are mandatory.

Great place to take the kids to learn about space. Lots of interactive presentations, lots of hands on displays and lots to see. There is a nice tram tour, just make sure you get the Houston Space Center app and use it to get in line before you enter because there can be over an hour wait.May not be the best place to go during covid. I would say about 20% of the people there were not wearing their mask properly and kids touch everything. No one was enforcing wearing mask properly either.

What an incredible first experience with NASA. The highlights for us were the inside of the planes and the tour across the buildings. However, the content in the main building felt a little bit short although very interesting and valuable!

I am a space nerd, and I wear it proudly! I even went to space camp as a teenager. I have been to SCH twice now, and i do appreciate how they have new a different displays. Also, I was there on a Saturday and was able to listen to an astronaut speak about her experience in space. Her talk alone made the trip worth it! The new app also makes getting tickets for the tram very easy, and gives schedule times for different events. Will be back for sure!

Great experience we had. Friendly staff. Clean and safety area. All of them use face mask and looked safety to be with kids there. I haven’t seen anyone without mask. Everywhere was sanitizer for hands. Was really clean area. Thank you we had so much fun!

Had an absolute blast definitely alot of information and fun. Definitely a must visit

Went to the galaxy lights with my family. It was fun, short, and informative. Had smores and took great pictures! Book your ticket online and arrive early; there is a long line!P.S You get free Christmas hats while youre waiting!!

Sad that not everything was open for COVID-19, but a great experience!We really enjoyed being able to go into the shuttle and all of the interactive displays. You really get a feel for what life is like for the astronauts in space. The Saturn rocket is something to see!! You know they are big but nothing compares to seeing it in person. We are looking forward to going back to see it again after everything opens up.

Took my wife here for her birthday. And all I have to say is, IT WAS AMAZING! I highly recommend coming here.

This is a great place to visit, and the exhibits are fascinating and informative. It seems appropriate for all ages. The reason I give it a 4 not 5 is the app did not do a good job of showing what was available and how to get to it. There were no paper guides, and the Center forces a visitor who wants to navigate their experience, to download and use the app. Bring a fully charged cellphone with you if you want to know your way around. That said, the staff was wonderful and the tram to the Saturn V was worth it.

This place has not changed much. Place remains impressive and informative. COVID has resulted in limited access for some of its exhibits. Staff were helpful and friendly. Gift shop was pretty large and had a lot of souvenirs.

Dont even think about going to Houston without visiting here. Its awesome. Take the tram ride

Loved it! Being a space nerd I nerded hard core! I do recommend the tram, and if you get there at opening time there will be a line unless you get there about 30min before it opens. (Note: that I did go there on a Saturday so that is probably why)

Galaxy lights were great. We bought the combo ticket and it totally was not worth the extra$30 a ticket. Our time grand for arrival was 3-4pm, they closed at 5. And half of the things were closed due to covid, full for the day, or closing because it was the end of the day... disappointing closure how much we paid.

My favorite part was the talk given by an astronaut! So cool. Didnt realize trams didnt run until closing, so missed one of the tours. Also wasnt aware the Space Center app was really needed until we had been there several hours. That being said, the exhibits were really cool and we enjoyed the experience very much.

This is a very common tourist spot in Houston, as most people do want to see where the classic line “Houston, we have a problem” originated. I am a fan of space and love learning about stars, planets, and solar systems - but I was alright visiting here once and calling it good. There weren’t a lot of exciting exhibits for me, the gift shop was alright, and the tours were decent. It was definitely something too sweet! As a personal opinion though, it’s not something I would visit more than once, but am grateful that I did go. If you’re a fan of space, check it out! If you’re not a fan, analyze the group you’re going with and make sure it’s a fun, enjoyable group to explore with.

Interesting place for kids and adults. A lot of stuff to see and to visit. Masks are to be worn everywhere other than the caffetteria. A must to go if you are in Houston.

Went on the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon landing. Was a jam packed day filled with events and special guest. You seriously need to spend all day here to really soak up all the amazing history. Absolutely a must visit.

Loved this place, full of history and historical significant artifacts... from old spacesuits to old Apollo capsules. Totally recommend this place to anyone.

The best place to learn and spend the day, they have the ready to fly Saturn V (best of 3 Saturn V rockets). It is a MUST go definitely.

Enjoyed the visit. Dont miss the tram tours to NASA. Get yourself on the tour list as soon as you enter. They fill up for the entire day by noon usually. Also, check out the live presentations. Last but not the least, visit the shuttle carrier aircraft and Falcon 9!

Dont order on their officiel website or at the door. You can save $5 each ticket by ordering online onrush49 :)When I asked if they make the match price,they pretended it was not possible... and the lady was rude.

I learned a lot and I felt safe amidst the pandemic. there was a lot of hand sanitizer and social distancing, but we were still able to have a good time.

It is lovely to see and experience NASA this way. Very educational. A life time experience

This is an attraction park for kids, not scientific museum.Price is very expensive compared to content available.You have to pay 5usd for the park but the park is free.Galaxy light: do not pay extra, just stay on the center at 6pm.I would mot visit againI visited during Thanksgiving holiday 2020: covid19 safety rules not respected by many visitors, staff didn’t care about it. Covid safety rules not followed correctly.

It was a very wonderful experience at Galaxy Lights. Time well spent. Beautiful arrangements.

The scale of human achievement is impressive . Very informative

Loved it! The size of those rockets is just incredible, cant imagine what an astronaut would feel sitting on top of that much fuel! Brought the family and we all loved it, even the less interested in space found something impressive here.

Been in houston for 3 years got a chance to come see the space center very cool place to see many things to look at

Great place. Covid junk has everything closed.

Very cool place to visit for kids and adults will come back again

Amazing experience. Was a great way to spend time with family. Very educational.

Space Center Houston is amazing there is something for everybody and let me tell you this if youre not interested in space after visiting this place you will be just beautiful scenery so much to learn so much to explore theres always something going on its in a prime location in my opinion its affordable because you can stay as long as you want with your ticket theres always enough room for parking and theres so much to do inside the place and outside of the place with all of the surrounding amenities

Words cant express how great this place is. Simply amazing. A must to check out in texas

Best place on the houston pass. Youll have so much fun here. Hands on activities and awesome exibits such as the Independence Plaza, the Saturn V rocket, and so much more.

Nice place. Space shuttle exhibit was cool. I expected there to be more. I was disappointed Apollo Mission Control wasnt available to tour

We enjoyed our time here. It didnt seem like we spent 3 hours exploring. I would recommend if you have children or out of state guest. Its worth the trip to Houston.

Great if you like rockets and space travel and if you dont whats wrong with you. Lots of interactive stuff for kids which sadly during covid is not all available. Do the tram tour which takes you to a separate building that houses the last actual saturn 5 rocket which was supposed to fly. Large gift shop and a Cafe as well. Lunar lander hanging from the ceiling as well. We used the city pass which saves you some $

Inspiring and interactive. Took about 5 hours and saw most everything. Highly recommend the astronaut training facility tram tour. Buying tickets and parking pass ahead online was great as we didn’t have to wait. Everything is completely wheelchair accessible except the coach tour. Jason was wonderful as he helped me feel welcome and assisted my power chair and me onto the tram. Also, we were glad we downloaded the app—it was helpful. Would come again!

Wonderful day! Lots of hands on displays for kids! Very interesting and a great way to spend the day!

There was an incredible amount of displays to see and enjoy and there is nothing quite like standing next to a replica of the Saturn v. Even though I am a space not its impossible to imagine the true magnitude of the spacecraft. I want to make sure to mention that Linda saved me and my girlfriend from the horror of leaving without having entered the space shuttle independence. there may be a few people who have gone through and not noticed the small doorway that leads out into independent plaza period me and my girlfriend were about to leave and were redirected by Linda to see it I cant thank her enough shes a wonderful person and I hope that she gets a raise!

Great experience of see some other things there rather than the typical tour. Highly recommend.

Great for all ages. Ticket fees are reasonably priced. You actually get more than what you pay. Highly educational facility, brings out the space geek in you! Go on Saturdays and you can meet an Astronaut. If youre curious about space explorations and research, I highly recommend this place and feel the vibe! And yes they have foodcourt and souvenir shop!

Great experience! I lived here growing up and never visited. Glad I did now. I love astronomy and space exploration and learned some things I didnt know!

Great experience!!! I love the lights show of this season, I think is the perfect place for couples in love

I love this place! The website gave us the wrong address so it took us out of staters a bit to find it. Lots of good information and great items to buy. I would like to see more made in America items though.

Staff are great with families and very knowledgeable. So many different things to see and do. Super fun!!!

Very interesting experience and one of its kind!Good exhibits and detailed information of each exhibits make it more interesting.AR experience at exhibits keeps engaged. Download the space center Houston mobile app for better experience.The tram tour is highlight with dropping at live centers, rocket center was thrilling.Souvenir collection made easy with space trader shop on campus.

Excellent for all ages, great experience and one you can revisit any time

My child was bored, we didnt find candy booths for trick or treating as advertised. We found most people not minding the 6 feet rule and frequently removing their face masks or not wearing properly, to the point that we left early because it was so widespread. The virtual reality was very cool and also costs additional. I was disappointed because they advertise SCH as a fun place with lots to do but we found it to be just a museum with not much to do at all. Way overpriced for the experience. We wont be returning.

The staff was amazing, especially shawn. They made my 9 year old son battling cancer feel like a king on his birthday!!!! Thanks so much!!!

Wow. What an experience. Great for all ages. I really learned Lot. I also really appreciated their covid precautions!!! Highly recommend going on a day qhen there is an astronaut speaker

Its definitely worth checking out. It is extremely crowded. We were there 5 hours. Saw three shows and only about 2/3 of the museum. The tram is a must. We took the old training tour. Very informative from the early NASA to the new programs and robotics. Takes about an hour. There is a new NASA program tour and a third that Im not too sure about. It is free but limited attendance and you MUST get your ticket from the information desk for a given time of tour. food was good but again very crowded. Again If your going to be in Houston a few days. The city pass will save you money. It covers admission to 5 attractions and cost $62 for adults. But by the third attraction you are already saving money. And you dont have to stand in ticket lines.

Enjoyed looking through exhibits of humans exploration of space and the achievements of the US Space program. Seems great for young kids a d adults too

Had a nice collection of cool nasa stuff. It also had the falcon rocket booster on full display which was amazing to see. Covid made a lot of the activities unavailable.

I like it, the place, I know is hard covid time, but the take a Picture before in to the place and for that reason they create a really big line, without social distance, I hope they change this situation.

So much cooler than I expected!

An amazing place with lots of interesting exhibitions! My friends and I agreed it was the best place to visit in Houston.Giving 4 stars because it was very difficult to hear anything the guide on the tram tour (which I think was the most educational and informative experience in the entire space center) said. This was because the recently installed plexiglass shields shaked and made loud rattling noises all along the ride, making it hard for us to follow the guides narration.Still, highly recommend to anyone interested in learning more about space!

Great time because it wasnt crowded. The tour guide Lady was very thorough and insightful.The check-in and out staff were rude. There were no exit signs so we didnt realize how to leave.

Great place for space geeks and families of all stripes.

Good if you just want to do something around town. Great to see how much change has been made since going as a kid.

As a kid that obsessed with space I was super excited to come as an adult. I got to see the Capsules, suits, gears and most amazingly actual moon rocks that just really made you sit and think. By had two “showings” to sit and listen to an actual astronaut which was really interesting. Took the tram to the rocket on site which was just unreal. Because of Covid I couldn’t visit the control room but to walk and experience the exhibit without a crowd was really something special. Going into the Boeing shuttle carrier with no one else in was also an amazing experience. This place is a must go.

This on can learning about how to launch the rocket and going straight to the space station, moon, and fly. This one is the loveliest place to go our family. Take a picture for nice place, and I will get 10 stars. I will going to get so proud for being a good rockets. This one from mission control is being look at the museum. Do you know about to how do you need to get pictures on NASA building! This is a brave day of the near the Galveston and Houston. This is a secret of the International Space Station is kind of the way out of escape pod. Ride the rocket to the space. Rich place to going for this By-Pass of the highway on Highway 1 and Interstate 45. One idea, what is the know about how to launch the rocket before you going in the Sky. The government will have to show the scientists for the rocks and record for the staying in the space for like an almost an year ago. They looked a moly way of the NASA flag in the moon. Enjoy your brave you own flying your rocket! Thank You!

Wonderful place to visit with friends and family. So much to learn and see. There are several theaters with ample seating to review details on the space program. A large eating area if you get hungry. There are two tram rides to visit the working mission control areas of NASA. One of the trams takes you on a tour of rocket park for a visit to an Apollo rocket and to a working area of mission control. There is some walking and stair climbing involved, elevators are available but limited. There is also a team ride to the old restored Apollo mission control viewing room. This was spectacular to see how it was back in the late 1960s. The staff is helpful and friendly, be prepared for lots of walking, reading and learning. There is also a very well stocked gift shop. Enjoy your visit, we certainly did.

Loved it!Not only was there plenty to do, the staff is great!They had you sanitizer upon walking in and throughout there are also stations. Felt safe to bring the kids and have fun

Excellent way to spend a day in Houston especially for Science and Space enthusiasts! Friday and Saturday you can meet one of NASAs astronaut and they give insightful experiences. Kids truly experience the magic of space exploration. NASA is a gem to have in Houstons bay area. Theres interactive galleries, space lab, lunar stones and soil, rockets from Apollo mission, space suits, astronaut gallery, Independence Shuttle on Boeing 747 plane and so much more.

What a wonderful, informative way to spend an afternoon! The staff is simply remarkable and so kind. Its a great way to learn about space travel, history, and technology!

For the space enthusiast, this is the ultimate attraction. Apart from the intriguing displays in the main hall, the tram tours will provide other fascinating details. I was particularly amazed by the sheer size of the huge rockets when I stood next to them.

Wonderful experience. I was ony way back from my country and my husband decided to have a short vacation before we travel back to Dallas. The experience was awesome for my 4 year old. We too enjoyed the real stuff behind the successful history of NASA. Some of the places they showed us were active government institutions and it was amazing to see them. Real space crafts, real stories and the whole organization managing the visitors was amazing. Will come back for sure. Good cafeteria inside to grab a quick bite!

Who doesnt like the Space center?! In the words of my 6 year old its a magical science place where the history meets the future. Plenty of stuff to do, see and take part in! The staff is super friendly and helps out immensely if you have any questions or need anything. They have tram services that takes you to and from the space shuttle observatory. It takes about 3 hours to take in everything and the hands on experience is just fantastic! They also have the galaxy light festival during the holidays!

So much fun and such a great learning experience!

Omg epic! Highly recommend the expert tour we had a blast better than riding out another .....

First time here, its so COOL. Going back with our kids. The guy at the gate where you pay for parking was very friendly and helpful. Where I paid for my ticket, wasnt friendly. The folks taking pictures wasnt helpful. The older lady in the gift shop was very friendly. The folks doing the tour guide, they were very knowledgeable and patient overall, it was a good experience. Thank you.

This is an absolute must see. The reason why I gave four stars was the price and quality of the food. I think I paid $18 for a burger today, probably the most I spent on fast food in my life. It wasn’t even very good, small, pretty tasteless. I would recommend bringing a picnic

It was a nice place to visit. Overall I dont recommend this for adults that dont have kids. It is very kid oriented. I did enjoy the interactive stations, it just gets a little awkward when a child is waiting for you to be done. I wish they made an adult section so that we dont have to take away from the kids play time and neither them taking away from us.

Such a fun experience!! The staff is very informative & nice

Some parts where closed. The food area kinda sucked ! It was just sodas and hot dogs and thats it.
