Traveler reviews
best thing to do in Houston
Really cool to see and definitely the most interesting thing to do in Houston
Tom Hanks movie was great
Tram rides were disappointing. Cars clanked between cars. Very young girl had a high pitched voice that was hard to hear. Suggest having a pre-recorded.
Worth It To See Saturn V!
It was super busy the day we went, with some events for teenage school-kids going on, so we unfortunately didn’t get to see everything. It was cool doing the tram tour to see Saturn V, but we had to wait an hour to get the tram back to the main space centre even though it’s walking distance which meant we couldn’t then visit Mission Control or the Campus. The exhibits are interesting but don’t have much in depth information. It’s definitely worth going to see these important and fascinating pieces of history, but definitely try to pick what you want to do most before you arrive, just in case it’s busy.
Worth a Visit
I would say this is a must visit at least once. It is a bit pricey for both the entry fee and food. They don’t allow you to bring in your own food or drink, except water. We had 2 sandwiches and shared a drink and it was $32. The exhibits are interesting as are the short videos you can see. As for the tram, I was not overly impressed. The astronauts training would have been better if we were not a group of 100 walking the length of the building stoping twice for the guide to give us information about what we were seeing, if you could see it, as it might be something you passed and can no longer see. Too large of a group….. The rocket garden was cool, although the outdoor rockets could use a clean up. It was disappointing to see all the algae build up on them. The campus is large and not much to see really. We didn’t get to do Mission Control, as it was sold out for the day. Do the tram early before it gets hot and plan for an hour with no restrooms, which they don’t mention until you’re on the tram.
Houston Space Centre
Get there early! Long line for opening. As an international, straight to the Guest Kiosk to sort parking ticket. While there, get your trolley tours booked. We did the tour of the grounds which wasn’t the best, as just a load of buildings - suggest picking a different one. Exhibits were great, Tom Hanks narrated movie also good. Probably need 3-4 hours there overall.
