Reviews
"All the staff were friendly, helpful and full of smiles! The whole place is clean, well organized and very interesting. We learned a lot of facts and history. You can easily spend all day there and take a break to eat at their foodcourt. Visit on a Monday, not crowded at all. Paying for parking was easy, $10.00 all day."
"The Mission Control tour is awesome! You get to sit in the VIP area and watch a presentation of the 1969 moon landing. It was definitely an experience so if you're visiting the Space Center, make sure you include the Mission Control tram tour to your itinerary."
"One of the most memorable experiences I had was visiting the Johnson Space Center in Houston. It was truly awe-inspiring to witness the incredible work being done there. The visit left a lasting impression on me and deepened my appreciation for space exploration."
"This was so informative and interesting! I visited 30-40 years ago and they’ve made it infinitely more visitor friendly. The tour of Mission Control was the coolest part, but I hear it always sells out, so get your tickets in advance!"
"Phenomenal experience at the Houston Space Center. Plenty of photo opportunities during the 15 minute presentation on this 1 hour tour. Something about being in this room feels like a once in a lifetime opportunity. Buy your tickets for this well in advance if you're in a large group! If you're a single visitor or a couple you may be able to swing same day tickets but to see the Mission Control tour you need to book online in advance to some degree. The Mission Control tour passes but does NOT include Rocket Park."
