Was quite excited to visit NASA & see around everything. The area is so big & so many interesting things to see & gathered so much information. Thankfully it was not so crowded when we visited. We stayed for almost 4 hours but didn’t realize when the time flew away.
Amazed at the incredible variety and SO MUCH information and so easy to see and read and enjoy. Certainly got more that expected! Not crowded, nice and tidy, safe and out of the heat outside!
Excellent experience and better in the company of my father
Do not use Headout. Buy the tickets directly from the vendor or any site you plan to visit. They add no value and represent themselves as the official ticket site. Don't be fooled like I was. I got in a rush and didn't catch that they were not the official site for the Houston Space Center. The official site(s) are cheaper and if you purchase through Headout, there is NO refunds. Also, no guarantee you'll get any of the tours that the Houston Space Center offers. Be aware!
We did both the training facility tour and campus tour after. The campus tour was the exact same info as the training facility tour so we felt it wasn’t worth it to wait and do both. Other than that it was a wonderful experience!
Great family experience.super cool spot for the whole family to visit.
Seemed expensive. lots if interesting space stuff. Somewhat dated. Needs better organization
Great! Experience to be had! Went on a whim but travel was worth it. Food was good and various sites within NASA to see . . .
This is was an educative tour. One of the volunteers gave us a history lesson too. We did the Rocket (tram) tour and I surely recommend.
Never book through Viator. It is better to book directly. You could look up the activities here but always book directly. Because they cannot make any changes once the booking is done while if you book directly you might be able to change the dates
