4.00We did not get to the center until afternoon and only had two available tours--the Astronaut Training Facility and the campus tour. The campus tour was somewhat of a repeat of the same ride from the training tour. Probably if you want to do more than two tours, you'd need to do only that and not combine the space center with the city tour.
Very good and educational must see

5.00This was a great experience and I'd definitely recommend it if you're visiting solo or as a small group. The space centre is really fair from downtown Houston and would have cost me about $50 in a taxi each way so I was looking for a more cost effective way of visiting. This trip was great value, included an open top bus tour of the city which was great, saw lots of street art and learned some history. Then they took us in a small van to the space centre where we had 4 hours to explore. This was plenty of time to do most things, make sure to go and do your tram tours first. The day I visited there was a talk on from astronaut Mike foreman which was great, I'd definitely recommend checking it out if there are talks during your visit.
