Well run and several interesting exhibits and interactive experiences (some free, some at a cost) as well as an opportunity to visit the Apollo 11 Mission Control by tram. One tram should drop off at all locations. Instead these are separate tram rides, perhaps to control numbers. There are free films original space memorabilia on display. Expensive but good food court area serving a diverse range of food. Washrooms on site. Large gift shop. Overly expensive tram ride on a freezing cold day. The most inconvenient part is that there is no shuttle or transportation to the Space Centre from downtown hotels. It is a very expensive taxi ride but more modest ride by Uber or Lyft. That adds greatly to the cost. It is about a 30-40 minute trip each way.

This was a very informative museum about space travel. I particularly liked the tram ride to the Apollo Control Room which I remembered seeing in my youth and was the highlight of my whole holiday. The other exhibits were interesting but need to be organised better. They seemed to be plonked down whether there was a free space. I prefer the Ikea method of museum layouts which directs you in a logical way around the exhibits.

Loved visiting this place - but would have been better without thousands of screaming children. Tickets at the box office were about $30 per person (without the tour of Mission control). Tickets do include tram tour of astronaut training ctr and the giant Saturn V rocket. Also included tram over to the replica space shuttle and the real Boeing 747 that used to carry it around. Important: go in the afternoon after the masses of school groups have left. We arrived about noon and wish we had waited till after 1 pm.

Of course we can remember exactly where we were when the first men landed on the moon, so this visit brought back so many memories, we were there for about 5 hours, there was plenty more to see though ......... We focused on the Space station mainly, to see the components, the Space Shuttle sat upon the Boeing it was all quite fantastic. Also, I didn't realise quite how many astronauts there have been. So glad we were able to visit.

We visited the Space Center Houston on the Friday after Thanksgiving. We had purchased our tickets in advance & also tickets to the Mission Control Tour. We were only in Houston on a layover for 18 hours & our only objective was to visit the Space Center. We arrived at 9:30am & were able to walk directly on to a Rocket Park tram. Later we saw that the lines were weaving through the building, they were so long & causing a lot of congestion. We encountered senior aged employees in Rocket Park & Mission Control that were very pleasant & seemed happy to be there. The young adult / teenage employees did not seem to care at all about their jobs or to interact with the public, very poor. All in all we were very happy with our visit. It was difficult to find information about how to plan our visit in advance, we read the information online but it could have been more comprehensive. Things that could be improved: reduce congestion throughout Space Center by queuing the lines for the trams differently, have employees that actually care about their jobs, explain in more detail on the website how to plan your visit including explaining that you must take a tram, you cannot walk to locations. We also did not like having our photo taken before entering the building to then find out we could get a copy of the photo for THIRTY DOLLARS! Not cool.

There is public transportation from the international airport to Johnson Space Centre: Take the bus #102 from Terminal C (just outside door 105) to downtown Houston transit centre (DH TC) and then take bus #246/249 to the Bay area park & ride. From the Bay area park and ride you can take Uber/Lyft to the space centre - the walk would be very long. Remember there are no buses to the Bay area park & ride on weekends but you can take UBER/Lyft from the DH TC to the space centre or your hotel. Always have few 1 USDs and quarters to pay for your bus fare. On a weekday you can check in at the information desk at the DH TC and they can tell you which bus to take to the Bay area park & ride; the bus stop is within walking distance. Houston metro has a good app with a trip planner, so make the most of it. Suggest you stay overnight at a hotel on NASA Parkway, walk over and make the most of your time at the space centre. Hope you enjoy yourself.

Went on home school day. Had to wait till 10 am when it opened to the public. First thing you need to do upon entering is secure your ticket to the astronaut training facility, as you need a timed ticket for that tram. Spent about 4 hours there. Great things to see. Did not do the Mission Control tram, was an extra $15 per person. They should just charge more for the admission then include it. Seemed silly, all the up charging at tourist attractions in Houston.

Fantastic way to spend a day. We were there all day and saw everything we wanted to. Queue early for the Rocket Park tram as queues were mad in the afternoon. We booked the Mission Control tours months prior to our visit and it did not disappoint. Brought lunch onsite at large good hall. Excellent facilities and gift shop.

Very interesting place to visit, but make sure to get there early and then get in line for the Saturn V tour as line ups start getting long in the morning. Very interesting exhibits and tours are available. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended and look forward to going back.

Awesome place. Very informative. Tips: Come as early as you can. Once you are in, first thing first: get yourself reservation for the training center shuttle and go to the Saturn shuttle. Afternoon lines are getting miserably long.
