This place was in my long time bucket list, so definitely it was my pleasure to visit. And it didn’t disappoint. Beautiful exhibits, starship gallery is the best of all. I love the rocket park, theatre show, gift shop and independence plaza. This place is full of information, fun, and you can be in as much Awe of this place as you want. All in all an absolute must visit place.

Fantastic museum with so much to see that a few hours are needed to see some of it. We started by having a look outside at the rockets and moved into the Saturn V building which was really worth seeing. Later on we had a tour of Mission Control and would advise booking tickets in advance as it's for a few people at a time. Later on we had a look at Challenger and the moon landing exhibits as well as the moon rocks. Not enough time to see everything so decide before visiting on what are the most important things you want to see

Had a great time at the Space Center! There’s a lot to see and explore, but to get the full experience, you really need to budget for all three tours. They add a lot to the visit and make it feel much more immersive. If you’re just walking through the main exhibits, it’s still interesting, but the tours are what really make it worth it. Definitely recommend going, but plan ahead so you don’t miss out!

Super cool experience for the first time. The exhibits were incredibly interesting and beautifully placed. It does get very crowded, but I personally don't mind that due to being used to these attractions. There's absolutely something for everyone, lots of accessibility, and wonderful information. I was only able to go to the rocket park tram tour, which was very impressive. The other tours it's highly recommended to buy in advance with your ticket for ease and access. Galaxy Lights was wonderful. Gorgeous light fixtures, wonderful chance to walk all through Independence Plaza and enjoy some time and fun with family. Food options are plenty and accommodating to halal and dietary restrictions such as vegetarian. Food trucks for Galaxy Lights had a good selection of food as well.

Awesome experience for the kids! Plenty of cool informative and interactive displays and the 50 min movie was also nice. Not as big as I thought it would be which is a plus if you don't want to do much walking

Fascinating visit! This place is out of this world (pun intended)! If I were a kid, I'd definitely be inspired to become an astronaut. Plan to spend at least 3-4 hours here to soak it all in. My imagination ran wild - I felt like I was walking on the moon, exploring Mars, and stargazing under the night sky. A must-visit for space enthusiasts of all ages!

Overall experience was good. However, having visited NASA in FL this seemed a bit less impressive. To see everything, one should plan for a full day and schedule the tours ahead of time or after arrival. There are few shows that are worth seeing. Was cool to see one of the SpaceX rockets. Overall, good compact campus to learn more about space exploration.

We visited Space Center Houston at 12 PM, but in hindsight, we should have arrived earlier to make the most of the experience. Included in the $30 general admission: 1- Tram tour to a working facility (1 hour) – a fascinating look behind the scenes. 2- Tram tour to the rocket site (40 minutes) – a must-see. Some highlights: *You can touch the Moon and Mars! *See the Saturn V rocket up close. *Try dried astronaut food for a unique experience. There’s a lot to see and read, so arriving early is recommended. Totally worth it!
