Houston Space Center is a world class site! All exhibits are at the top of museum quality. When available staff was more than capable to answer our questions, very knowledgeable! We would have loved to stay for their Christmas light show as the unlit displays were promising!

The space centre looks outdated and the exhibits and international space station was the saving grace. I enjoyed having a look at Saturn V and was overwhelmed by its size. The movies were average. There was no 3 d. There was no imax. Felt Houston can do better than that to show the grand achievements US is making in Space research. The testing centre and simulation areas of course inspired. Overall I thought the learning component was missing. Wow factor is missing too.

NASA's space center is worth the visit, maybe 4 hours is too long but I enjoyed it. The city tour was ok, Houston doesn't seem to be a touristic city so the time dedicated to it was enough. overall, nice day trip.
