What to expect

This tour only has 1 stop: Space Center Houston (SCH). SCH is connected to NASA or the Johnson Space Center (JSC), where the astronauts train and the engineers work. We will walk over 5,000 steps at SCH as I plan on showing as much as possible in the main building and in the additional buildings, Rocket Park and the Astronauts Training Facility, where the trams take tourists. I will talk a lot about the space program, tying the past to the present, and future explorations.

Entrance fee

Before booking

Wheelchair accessible
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
Service animals allowed
Public transportation options are available nearby
Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
Parents need to supply their own infant seats for their babies and toddlers.
Although Space Center Houston (SCH) has extended hours during the summer, the standard hours of operation are from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, only 7 hours per day. The travel time to and from SCH is another 1.0 to 1.25 hours. We want to arrive as soon as SCH opens to avoid the queues and maximize your ability to see as much as possible. If we start later in the day, we will not have sufficient time to go on both tram rides and enjoy all of the activities.

Space Center Houston Space Center Houston presents capsules, suits, rockets and the shuttle replica Independence. Space Center Houston combines historic objects, training, engineering and NASA’s institutional narrative. Artefact, simulation and reconstruction should be distinguished, and families should ask what human labour supports each mission. Space exploration should include risk, cost, cooperation and technological consequences rather than heroism and spectacle alone.
