This was a great way to spend 4 hours. We got our general admission tickets and mission control tickets on line and arrived basically when the museum opened on a Monday. It was fairly busy and our mission control tour tram was full. I suggest you buy your tickets online since the line for tickets when we arrived was long. You pay for parking when you arrive using your phone and a QR code. The museum itself is easy to tour with the main steps being the shuttle. If you take the mission control tour there are 87 steps to get up to the control room. There is an elevator, but not sure how big it is and they move through the presentation , so you may risk missing it if you arent first on that elevator. There is also an elevator for the levels of the shuttle. Keep an eye out for cards advertising the space center at your camp ground or hotel for $5 off. There is a large cafe area in the museum, and ample bathrooms scattered about. The rocket park tram tour is free but you do have to sign up for it. You cant get over there by yourself on foot.

Was in Houston with my family and as we looked for things to do this was one of the top things that came up in our searches. I was n't very impressed given how expensive it was. We have space museums near our home that are free and they have much more interactive things for kids to do. This is an interesting place to go to if you like reading plaques but that is about it. There were very few interactive exhibits. The tour to the astronaut training facility was interesting but I thought they could have taught us a lot more. I was most disappointed that there was a conference going on at the same time we were there so they weren't showing any of the movies and they didn't tell us this when we bought our tickets and the tickets were the same price. They definitely should have given a discount on the ticket prices if they were going to close parts of the museum. I wouldn't recommend going for the price.
