Enjoyable and interesting for people who are interested in space exploration. We visited at 10 am on a cloudy day with showers and were pleasantly surprised there were no lines. We heard an entertaining talk about the international space station by a young man who engaged well with children and adults alike. He was great and not like the rude staff in the reviews. We paid xtra to go to Mission Control. Our tram guide has a soft voice and did not speak up and also the microphone system was bad so it was hard to hear. My biggest complaint is the high prices. My husband wasn’t sure the Mission Control was worth it. I wasn’t sure the basic admission was worth it. But ignoring how much it cost, we both had a good time.

We were there all day and it was amazing. We learned so much with the exhibits. We went on the Mission Control and Astronaut Training facility trams. Both were worth it (about an hour long a piece). We watched an interactive exhibit about the Webb telescope and the International Space Station-both were done great!

Very good museum to visit. Lots of interesting facts and information to see. Go early because it gets more crowded in the afternoon. We also took the historic command center tour. Definitely worth the time.

Arrived at Houston airport early in the morning. Visited during transit time. Traveled by Uber from the airport for 40 minutes. Toured for about 3 hours. There were many general visitors, but I was surprised by the number of school group tours.

Space Geeks like me would love this place. It is a little outside of Houston and is about a 30min drive. But it is totally worth it. The Space Center itself has many nice exhibits but they also organize three tram tours to nearby NASA Johnson Space Center facilities. We chose the Historical Mission Control Tour, that had a separate fee and which took us to the Mission Control room from where the Apollo Missions were controlled. The restoration of the control room has been meticulously done and the film and experience is splendid. It has a very nice gift shop onsite as well as multiple snack shops onsite. If you arrive early enough you can also do the other two tram tours which are included in the price of the admission ticket.

Loved Space center Houston. We got the city pass and did not have to have a time slot for arrival. We scanned the city pass at the door after security and could even leave and come back that same day if needed. A little crowded but it was spring break in Houston. Great time and even had activities for the kids to build and create.

A comprehensive overview of the history of American space travel. the 110 meter long Saturn V rocket in the nearby hall made a particular impression. Together with the presentations of the different capsules (Mercury, Gemini and Apollo), you realize that these men are balancing on the edge of their abilities.

I parked for free in the small parking by the front main entrance. I walked with my family to all exterior exhibits and took many pictures. We went inside the center and requested to visit the gift shop alone. Anyone is allowed to do this, you get almost an hour to see and purchase many great things at this store. We saved $130+ in tickets by doing this. We went on the Solar Eclipse week so we got to take special exterior pictures too. Once in the main entrance you can also glance and take some quick pictures in the main atrium area.

Unfortunately we were scheduled for a tour and ended up missing it due to traffic construction and there were no other tours available that day. So we toured on our own. I would highly recommend if you are in the Houston area to visit the Space Center. There is such a wealth of information and exhibits. You need to allow yourself at least 4-5 hours (probably longer if you take the tram tour) in order to be able to see and experience everything. The spacesuit collection is awesome and represents the spacesuits used throughout the years. You need to make sure you visit Independence Plaza and go inside the shuttle replica which is mounted on top of the NASA 905 shuttled carrier aircraft. I found the wall with photos of all the astronauts from the very first shuttle mission very interesting and spent quite a bit of time just looking at how the space program has evolved from only one or two astronauts to now teams of quite a few more. Make sure you visit the gift shop, they had "space food" and I ended up buying two Freeze Dried Ice Cream Pops for my great grandchildren and shipped them to the kids. They were so excited to get space food. I was curious what they would taste like and the kids told me "Grandma they tasted like ice cream". Definitely worth going to visit.

Showed up around 10:30 AM and only the last 2 tours were available for the Astronaut Training Facility, so agree with what people say about showing up as soon as they open to secure a tour. Rocket Park is available all day, no reservation required and not much of a wait. They send the tram as soon as it's full and the next one is waiting to go. You technically don't have in and out privileges for parking cause the camera system will flag you twice.. we wanted to go out and get In-and-Out for lunch while waiting for our Mission Control Tour. But the parking ticket does say it's a flat fee for 18 hours, so we were able to get our second parking fee waived at guest services. Interesting museum, worth the visit
