We visited this past Sunday during the week of Thanksgiving when Houston area kids were out of school for the week, We arrived around 9:45, easily parked and bought tickets, showing our AAA card to save $5 per ticket. Given only 1 of 4+ booths were open I'm guessing they were not expecting peak attendence. Once inside we immediately went to the line across from customer service to get our ticket for the tram to mission control @11:30. We viewed the exhibits until it was time to line up for our tour, went on the mission control tour and then immediately lined up for the non-ticketed tram tour. After returning we had a quick snack and the continued viewing the exhibits until about 4:30 when we were all "done". The highlights were the tram tours, both the destinations and the commentary on the trips thru the campus, and the space shuttle on site. It would take another full day to completely read/view all the exhibits in detail. The museum space was really sensory overload so might be difficult for some kids.

This is a learning center for adults and children. As a retired teacher, I was impressed with the hands on activities and emphasis on STEM. For me it was a great learning experience as well. Great displays of historical artifacts of early space exploration (Gemini and Apollo), current space shuttle and International Space Station exhibits, and exhibits of future projects including travel to Mars and a tram ride to the new Orion facilities. I most enjoyed the tram and tour to the Astronaut Training Facility and Rocket Park.

Visited the centre at first opening, lots of school children running around, perhaps visit the centre about midday when the children have either gone or calmed down. The tram ride was a waste of time took you to various parts of the centre which were just building. The highlight was the mission control centre for the Apollo missions. Great to see and experience where history was made. Make sure you book your spot when you first enter the centre as spaces are limited. Also sat in on 'meet an astronaut' interesting to hear his experiences and personal background but question time was cut short for some reason which was disappointing. Overall interesting.
