Had a great overall experience both on Sightseeing Tour of Houston & NASA TAKE THE WHITE TOUR at NASA to see Mission Control UNLESS you have children interested in Space Exploration. Book as soon as you arrive there. Wish the Tour Center was open at 9am & stayed open until 6pm to browse more. There were WONDERFUL gift/souvenir items available.
