Description
Go beyond the ordinary NASA visit and experience Space Center Houston at its fullest! Your admission ticket opens the door to an incredible day of space exploration, from the massive Saturn V and Rocket Park to Independence Plaza, Artemis, Starship Gallery, Mission Mars, the International Space Station and more. But the real highlight? Your Historic Mission Control Boarding Pass. Step aboard the NASA tram and travel to the legendary Mission Control Center—the very place where Apollo missions, including Apollo 11, were guided and history was made. It’s one thing to see NASA’s spacecraft and artifacts; it’s another to stand inside the rooms where some of humanity’s greatest moments unfolded. With plenty of time to explore at your own pace and complimentary tram experiences available, this is your chance to discover the heart, history and wonder of America’s space program. Come see the rockets. Touch a moon rock. Then stand where history happened.

Great Day!
Everything was perfect! Easy day with an eight year old and they loved it! The day went off without a hitch!

Amazing Experience
The driver was very kind and knowledgeable! I was traveling alone with two toddlers and he helped me with my stroller and kids. He was very knowledgeable and had an organized tip sheet to follow at the nasa center. This helped us know what to do with the kids and how to spend our day. I would highly recommend.
B
Great day and value
Excellent communication from the company from start to finish. Our driver was friendly and provided well-thought instructional sheet to guide us through the space center visit. The trip was handled perfectly by our contact person Mary, and we’d for sure use this company on future trips to Houston for airport or transportation to the Houston cruise port.
