This was a great tour we had a great time, highlights were the 747 with the space shuttle on top and mission control from back in the 60's. We enjoyed the whole tour

Visited this attraction with a family group (13 people including children 5 to 8 yrs) Plenty to do and a variety of different styles of presentation to suit adults and children. Make sure you get onto the tram ride which is a guided tour around the space centre and includes access to the astronaut training building and the rocket park to name just two interesting features. The "Independence" is worth a look but you can't miss it, it's the jumbo jet near the entrance with a space shuttle on top! If you are interested in massive engineering achievements, spaceflight, astronomy, human endeavour or just a decent burger then give this attraction a try, it's worth the money. Book your tickets online for the best value as long as you can find someone to print off the tickets for you. Days Inn at Kemah (Which is 17 mins drive from NASA), were helpful with us doing this.

This place is so huge, make sure you plan a full day for this. There are two tram tours to be done and lot other things to be seen on your own. Starting with the Starship Gallery, where loads of artefacts (both real and high fidelity models) are on display covering Apollo, ISS and Mars missions, you can move into the Independence Plaza where the SCA (actual) and Independence Shuttle (high fidelity model) are on display. You can take an insider tour (this is the Orbiter Tour). Then there are the options for two tram tours (you have to choose one only) where they will take you on Astronaut training centre (Red Tour) or the Mission Control Tour (Blue Tour). There are two gift shops for your merchandise hungry soul, a decent cafeteria, kids play arena with simulation models etc. Suggest to take an audio tour guide as it helps a lot if you need to boost your nerd self right upto into space with al the info! Reach early as soon as they open, choose timed tickets for tram tours while booking tickets online and visit the Kemah boardwalk while returning!
