This is amazing experience which does such a great job of explaining the exploration of space both historically and looking forward to the future. Everything is so well done and the price is reasonable. Seeing exhibits like the impressive and massive Saturn V rocket and the space shuttle atop a Boeing 747 was great! We are an older couple and wish we had come here with our kids. This was the highlight of our trip to the Houston area.

Not a lot of old stuff to see ….definitely take the tram to see the rocket b/c that’s the only place they have actual parts / equipment to see. Glad to have seen it but was just b/c had free time. Not a “must see”.

Great experience, don’t bother with the campus tour very boring and you look at the exterior of buildings! Some bits are looking dated but lots of information given. The virtual reality ride was good and worth doing. Expensive gift shop so may be better to look elsewhere , on the whole well worth a visit and very child friendly.

There was more to do than we had time for. The virtual reality simulator was amazing! My friend and I reached for each other’s hand, at the same time. Not because it was scary, but because it was so thrilling! It is a must do!

Way overpriced. We thought we signed up for a tour but no one helped us everyone was young and seemed annoyed. We were not helped. And they took our picture and wanted to charge 40$ extra when we already paid 65 for out tickets. It was not worth it and we won’t be back.

you need to spend a whole full day to experience all things inside, we have been to the Kennedy space center in FL, I think this one is much cheaper comparatively and still lots of things to see. The one is FL is overpriced. You need to pass thru' security check before entering. You need to book the tram tour to training facility once you enter, when we booked it in the morning at 10:30am, it said only the 3 pm tour is left. There is another tram tour to rocket park which no need to book, just walk-in to line up. Worth to take a look if you visit Houston.
