What travellers are saying
- RV Manifest DestinyPlum, Pennsylvania166 contributionsThis was a great way to spend 4 hours. We got our general admission tickets and mission control tickets on line and arrived basically when the museum opened on a Monday. It was fairly busy and our mission control tour tram was full. I suggest you buy your tickets online since the line for tickets when we arrived was long. You pay for parking when you arrive using your phone and a QR code. The museum itself is easy to tour with the main steps being the shuttle. If you take the mission control tour there are 87 steps to get up to the control room. There is an elevator, but not sure how big it is and they move through the presentation , so you may risk missing it if you arent first on that elevator. There is also an elevator for the levels of the shuttle.
Keep an eye out for cards advertising the space center at your camp ground or hotel for $5 off.
There is a large cafe area in the museum, and ample bathrooms scattered about.
The rocket park tram tour is free but you do have to sign up for it. You cant get over there by yourself on foot.Written 11 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I recommend it more for children and teens
And don’t forget the 3D cinema .. that was the bestWritten 12 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The only problem we had was there were so many children on field trips being improperly chaperoned. We should have been warned in reviews as to stay away from Wednesday to Fridays! If you want to soak in this museum go on Mondays or Tuesdays or fight the field trips the other days!Written 12 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cierra K1 contributionThis business was incredible! The staff was super nice and they had everything you would want and need at check-in.

- Jerry PHouston, TX14 contributionsI am a transplant living here in Houston for the past 15 years. This walking tour is pure evidence of the positive energy in this large diverse metropolis. Do you enjoy, history, architecture, culture, fun, laughing, meeting people for all over the world ? We met a young woman from Manchester invited her to lunch with us and now have a friend in Manchester….Support our local community, our thriving entrepreneurs and the rest is up to you!Written 13 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- hollykgChicago, IL14 contributionsWe spent a night outside of Houston before a graduation ceremony in College Station and really enjoyed our recent trip to the Museum! Parking in the garage was easy and it linked to the museum complex through indoor passages. The museum was a nice size, and we happened to be there on Thursday, when it was open late and was free —which was much appreciated after the fairly high entrance fee at the Johnson Space Center.
It was nice to see many young people there enjoying the museums, too. The employees were all very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend a visit here! We also visited the contemporary art building.
I like to visit museums whenever I travel and this was really nice.Written 22 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We chose to visit Natural Science Musuem, Fine Art Museum, Aquarium, Space Center and Kamak Board walk. The museums and aquarium were just OK but not the other out door activity-requiring activities. I highly recommend the fina art museum and aquariumWritten 31 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stephane OHalifax, UK11 contributionsMarna was the best tour guide ever. She showed us so much in hour we were left wanting more. We saw all the essential stuff and loads more besides.Written 17 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Titanshia H7 contributionsI had an amazing time. I took my dude for his birthday and he loved it. The Color Factory is an adventure for all ages. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about each exhibits.Written 11 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robin FHouston, TX1 contributionOur group had an absolutely incredible experience with host, Erin Pollet’s, haunted ghost walking tour! Erin is a phenomenal guide—knowledgeable, kind, and full of captivating stories that brought the spooky history of the area to life. She struck the perfect balance between fascinating facts and eerie tales, keeping us entertained the entire time.
One of the best parts? We could bring our dog along! Erin was so gracious and accommodating, making the experience enjoyable for everyone in our group (including our furry friend).
My friends and I had an amazing time—it was the perfect mix of thrills, history, and fun. If you’re looking for a ghost tour that’s both dog-friendly and unforgettable, Erin Pollet is the guide for you. Highly recommend!Written 22 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
