5.00We had a blast in the space center and our guide Meredith was a total expert. Due to her family's history she's been into the whole space thingy since her early ages. Thus she was deeply knowledgeable and could answer just any question thrown at her. Totally can recommend this trip. A must do when staying in or around Houston!

5.00Quite a bit of walking although there is a tram that takes you to various locations on the space campus, there’s still quite a bit of walking depending on what you want to see. We learned so much about the history of space exploration and the people involved. Our tour guide had inside knowledge as her father worked at the space center for 37 years! I feel I need to return as there is SO much to look at, read, watch, and one day wasn’t enough!
Made the visit so easy and interesting.

5.00Very much enjoyed our visit to the Space Center and learned a lot of history of space exploration and the different space missions. Our guide had extensive knowledge of NASA as her father had worked as an engineer and retired. She pointed out how the workers were invested in their work realizing that a mishap could result in casualties and could jeopardize future missions.
