1.00We got to the Center and it was closed for the day due to a water line break. I'm from Calfornia and won't have a chance to go back. How can I get a refund? Thanks, Mark

5.00very nice day spent in the space center / I had the opportunity to visit the one of Cape Canaveral for which I have a small preference especially for the organization Here you have to reserve time slots for bus tours and all finish with the hangar with the rocket so we saw it 3X! otherwise beautiful day and very informative

5.00Pretty cool all round. Trams book quickly so you should aim to get them at guest experiences ASAP Prices at cafeteria and gift shop range from a little pricey to gouging, but there are a few items that work out
highly recommend it to anyone visiting Houston

5.00There is simply no way to visit Houston without going to the Space Center Houston. It is incredible and truly a unique experience. We absolutely loved it! Everything is very well organized, immersive, and inspiring. Seeing the history of space exploration up close was unforgettable and one of the highlights of our trip. Our biggest suggestion is to sign up for the activities and tours as soon as you arrive, because they fill up very quickly. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Houston!

3.00This space center was so much smaller than Kennedy space Center. The large group in the middle all morning was distracting.
Always an experience

5.00Even if you've been to Florida at the Space Center, it's worth visiting Houston. Not only the Space Shuttle piggyback on a 747, but also the Mission Control Center is very impressive.
A must see if you visit Houston!

4.00Great experience , remember to book your activities in advance because they are quickly sold out. The film is informative and interesting. The exterior will deserve to be better maintained and the tours to be more interactive for children!
Very Expensive and Poor Organisation

2.00Visited NASA Houston with family recently and although what we did see was enjoyable I thought it was very expensive as it cost $296 for six of us. The price we paid was for general admission and tour of Mission Control , which we were able to pre book, but the Campus and Training Facility tours couldn’t be pre-booked and have to be booked when you arrive on a first come first served basis. We arrived at 11:15am and were told these tours were fully booked for the day which was very disappointing as the facility wasn’t particularly busy. There were a couple of Virtual Reality experiences , which were an additional cost of $10 & $8 per person , and so I feel overall this was a very expensive visit costing well over $300 with two out of the three available tours advertised sold out for the day. Def not worth the overall cost of this attraction
