If you are into space travel, not the place for you unless you are a child. Mostly interactive play stations. Lot of mockups and little real items. Shuttle never flew into space , 747 good however the idiots have put the concrete access tower on the wrong side so impossible to get good external photos. Visit to the command center very short, with little information from guide. Saturn rocket very well restored though. Better to see Smithsonian , Washington or Cape Canaveral Florida.

The tour itself is very interesting, but it was very poorly organized by the tour agent. As part of the price paid, my minimum expectation is to get a timed ticket, arranged by the operator, instead of spending 1 and a half hour of my visit to NASA in the Tram Line. This was really dissapointing. If I knew that it would be like this, I would have aquired a timed ticket by myself it is very easy and would have reached NASA using UBER. It would have been cheaper, and much more enjoyable. Sorry but this is my feeling about this experience. Hopefully you can improve in the future. I had very positive experiences in the past with Viator, but this was not the case this time.

We travelled from San Antonio to Houston specifically to visit the space centre. The trip was amazing. We could not ask for more since we had only one whole day to stay in Houston. We managed to see most of the things we would like to see and visit in Houston in one day. We started of with a 90 minutes tour around the CBD and the Herman Park. The tour guide was very informative as well as humorous. We changed bus in the city and our same tour guide drove us to the space centre. The space centre was wonderful. The tram ride to the mission control centre was great. We took a lot of photos. We went our own ways within the space centre exhibitions until the pick up time. In fact, we wish we had more time at the space centre. However, the whole process of buying the tickets online and the actual trip was so simple and user friendly. We would highly recommend this trip. No hustle, just go online book and know where to wait for the initial pick up in the morning.
