Become an Astronaut at Space Center Houston

A Great Interactive Museum Experience This museum is beautifully designed and thoughtfully laid out. There are many interactive stations where you can try things out yourself, making the visit both fun and educational. The exhibits are impressive and very well presented — you can see everything up close and in great detail. One of the highlights is the variety of experiences available. There’s a cinema, virtual reality stations, and lots of opportunities to touch and interact with different elements. It’s a great place for visitors of all ages. If you’re in the area, this museum is definitely worth a visit!

Visiting the NASA Space Center was truly a mind-blowing experience. It’s absolutely amazing to witness what humans have achieved in the field of space exploration — things that are beyond imagination. Every exhibit and artifact is a marvel of science and engineering, reminding us just how far curiosity, innovation, and determination can take us. The place is beautifully designed, clean, and very visitor-friendly. Each photograph and display tells a story — each one inspiring in its own way. From the massive rockets to the astronaut suits and moon artifacts, everything left me in awe. The staff were outstanding — friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to share interesting facts. There are plenty of food options available, which makes it great for families or longer visits. One important tip: Make sure to check the weather before your visit, especially if you’re planning to take the tram tour to see the astronaut training facilities or mission control. If the weather isn’t cooperating, the outdoor tours will be cancelled, and that’s a big part of the experience. Overall, this is a must-visit destination — a place that celebrates human potential and inspires future generations. Don’t miss it!

I could see this being a pretty cool place to bring younger kids, but my girlfriend and I blew through the place in about an hour. The displays are all nice, and we enjoyed touring the shuttle and seeing all of the space suits, but there really wasn't much to do for us adults. Plus it sucked paying $10.99 to park.

Had a great time on the VIP tour, wish I would have done the afternoon on also. Souch to see and so much to do. The cafeteria was interesting paying but the food was very good. The static displays were fun and well done. The store was large and had something for everyone.

Overall it was amazing. It's losing a star because of their tram tours. Even though the Astronaut Training Facility and Campus Tour are included with your regular General Admission ticket, you have to go to Guest Services to get tickets for these which is not explained anywhere on the map they give you, nor is it on the signage for where you line up. We did everything else first and missed our opportunity to do these 2 because they were sold out by the time we were ready. It was incredibly frustrating. Had it mentioned that you had to get tickets anywhere on the information in the map brochure, we would have made sure we got tickets first thing. Very frustrated by that. The food in the "Food Lab" was surprisingly good. Prices in the gift shop were surprisingly reasonable for most items as well.
