They don't give you that much useful information or interesting items although the presentations are two long. Not so much fun. Whereas you pay $5 for parking and $20 per person. Just go in the case you have nothing else to visit or do in Houston.

The first time I went to Space Center, I was very excited to see all of the "real" NASA stuff. The trolly ride to Mission Control is worth the price by itself the first visit. To justify the high cost of admission, and to get people to return, they have these poorly e...xecuted "themes" like "Gross!" etc. Every subsequent time I've been to Space Center, it has been with visiting friends and family. I go because they want to see Mission control. Were it up to me comletely, I would not be a repeat customer Read More

Without a doubt the best part of Space Center is the tram tour of mission control. you get to sit in the VIP room and look through the glass where all the history was made. Just being that close to where the phrases "houston we have a problem" and "One small step..." we...re uttered was worth the full price of admission. There is plenty for kids. The gift shop and IMAX theatres(with artifact exhibits) were also two must sees. BUT PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING. DO NOT EAT IN CAFETERIA!!!!!!!!!! Read More

Space Center Houston reveals many of the secrets of space travel. It has hands-on exhibits that allow you to imagine yourself in space. Perhaps the most captivating was the space center control that I had seen some many times on TV. Like other visitors that day, I wa...s allowed in during a simulation of a mission and can only imagine how exciting it would be during an actual mission. I highly recommend this attraction to anyone visiting the Houston are - for all ages! Read More

This place is severely over-rated! Don't come here unless all of your children are under 5. It's too boring. Not cool enough for teens. Too expensive as well. Don't waste your time or money.

Like most of the educational-entertainment attractions, Space Center Houston treats humans as all being 4 years old. Sure adults and kids enjoy themselves, after-all they aren't at work or school, nor are they sitting in front of the TV at home. Are we truely educated or entertained by such low cut mentality? I don't really believe we are.
