We visited here on a Saturday in January. Getting here wasn't too bad. We arrived right at 10AM which is opening time. There was a pretty good line, but it went quickly. We pre-purchased the 10:40 Mission Control tour. The volunteers were really great to show us where we needed to go and which line to get into. They also suggested that if we wanted to do the other tram tours (Astronaut training Center and Rocket park) to sign up early to get a spot. This was good advice as they filled up quickly. By signing up when we first got there we could plan the rest of our time. All of these were really fun and interesting. This was really fun as we have been to Kennedy Space Center in Florida so to see where the mission control was added to the history of NASA. We were able to go into the space Shuttle/747 ferry plane. Tis was also fun to see as I remember seeing the very first ferry flight as a kid on TV. A few of our group did the VR experience. They said it was really cool. We went to several of the videos in the theater which were very informative. Lunch here was actually really good. They had several ordering kiosks which serviced all of the food places so you didn't have to go to a specific one. The prices were fairly reasonable too. We were there for 9 hours and still didn't see everything. I like to read all the placards so I could easily go a few more times to see all they have to offer. One interesting thing. When you park, there is a QR code to use to pay for parking. I tried to use it but for some reason it didn't want to work, even thought I saw others using it successfully. I had to pay or parking inside at the service desk.

I traveled to Houston from California for the 2025 Houston marathon and made sure to visit the Space Center. Rocket Park, with its incredible rocket engines and the awe-inspiring Saturn V vehicle, completely blew my mind. The sheer size of these machines is overwhelming, especially when you realize they were designed and built in the 1960s! It’s a powerful reminder of what humanity can achieve when we work together. This experience made me reflect on the importance of hard sciences. While coding is valuable, it’s built on a foundation of math, physics, and chemistry—disciplines we must continue to prioritize for the next generation. If I’m lucky enough to have kids someday, I’ll make sure they excel in math (and running). This visit wasn’t just inspiring—it was a call to action for the future.

Used to be a decent place, had annual membership planning not to renew. It can be avoided for couple of years. There not much to see at the main hall. All the exhibits are digital or pictures. You will spend 3 hours queuing up for virtual reality rides, if you there with kids or someone with challenge standing for an hour no place for them to sit.
