I thought this attraction was fantastic, but if you don’t do the tram tours then you can see everything pretty quickly. I did both the Saturn Rocket and Historic Apollo Mission Control tram tours; the Apollo tram tour is just sitting in the viewing area and watching a short film, but it was very good. I stayed at the end and managed to ask the tour guides some more questions which I thought was great. The Saturn rocket tram tour was also great, it’s amazing to be able to see the rocket up close in person! You can’t comprehend how big it is until you see it in real life. It was also great to explore the space shuttle carrier.

Space Center Houston consists of a museum type building, a tram ride to a building with a Saturn 5 rocket, and two optional (extra cost) tram tours to the mission control building and the astronaut training site. The two for-pay tours are by reservation only. The museum is full of NASA displays, including video displays, and there is daily in-person programs. Unfortunately the place was literally overrun by kids on the day we were there (a Friday afternoon) . Given the hoard of kids it was impossible to comfortably examine the displays. We were too late to reserve places on the optional and pricey tram tours, which used to be included in the general admission. If you are really into space exploration or have a child (who can read explanations on displays) who is really into space engineering and exploration (no sci-fi here) then this may be a good experience for you.

I purchased my ticket at the kiosk. I was told I was too late for Mission Control upgrade but don’t worry there are other tram tours. It would have been good to have been told that I had to book tickets for those as well. By the time I found out they had gone. Super disappointed as I can’t come again. Some cool things to see but not a huge amount. Nothing on the map to say I had to get tickets!
