We were a little underwhelmed with the Houston Space Centre. We visited the Kennedy space centre 5 years ago and were expecting a similar experience, but it was not the case. The centre has wonderful artefacts such as space suits, space rocks and interesting information. There are some interactive exhibits for the kids to play with. Maybe I’ve been spoilt, but I thought it was small and didn’t have nearly as much as the Kennedy centre. We went on the tram to see the famous control room from the moon landings. It was great to see. Unfortunately our tour guide spoke so quickly we couldn’t understand anything he said. We wanted to go to the training centre but we’re told that there was no availability for it. I had read about it before going but didn’t see where to sign up for the tour (apparently at the information desk). Overall, it was a good day, but a bit underwhelming.

We had a BLAST! We thought 3 hours would have been enough but we easily spent 4 hours exploring the rockets and taking tours, as well as having lunch. There are 2 gift shops on the grounds, one definitely has more than the other. We did a tour to see the Saturn rocket and even saw actual Longhorns along the way! The video in the auditorium was informational. Overall, a great experience and we learned so much!

This would have been a 7 out of 5 stars if it weren't for the gift shop. See more below. The staff at Space Center Houston are wonderful. From the minute you enter, the staff (even those standing in the sun!) are welcoming and informative. They try to get you through the line as fast as possible. I wish they had an option to skip the photo line, but I understand they are trying to make money. Inside the Space Center, there are plenty of people ready and excited to assist. I recommend taking the tram tours first. It gets hot during the day, and the tours tend to fill up. After lunch (which is mediocre), take in a movie while relaxing in one of the amazing theaters or enjoy a live presentation. Don't accidentally skip the opportunity to touch the moon or go through the rocket. The last stop is always the gift shop. Be warned- this is not where polite and helpful employees can be found. I have had several encounters with employees being rude to young people in the store. I don't know if this is for all students or only the Black and Brown students that I work with, but employees regularly speak harshly, refuse entry, make them put their bags down before entering (which is not a policy enforced for all), and overall make them feel unwelcome. Unfortunately, this has been my experience on more than one visit with more than one employee. Educators- ask about the discount in the gift shop. It is inconsistent, but sometimes you can get a bit off of your purchase!
