Guide to Visiting Space Center Houston, Texas
Last updated: December 16, 2023 . Written by Laurence Norah - 8 Comments
If you are visiting Houston in Texas, one attraction we can highly recommend you spend some time at is the Space Center Houston.
Space Center Houston is the official visitor center of the NASA Johnson Space Center, which is the home of NASA’s Mission Control and where U.S. astronauts are trained. It’s also a Smithsonian affiliate museum.
There are two main parts to a visit to the Space Center. There’s the large self-guided Space Center museum itself, which is home to numerous exhibits on space exploration and space in general.
Then there’s the tram tour, which takes you onto the grounds of the NASA Johnson Space Center facility itself, where you can see actual working government facilities, as well as historic locations like the original Mission Control room.
In this post, we’re going to share everything you need to know to make the most out of your visit to Space Center Houston, from getting there, to what to see and do, to how to save money on your ticket.
Let’s get started.
A Guide to Visiting Space Center Houston
Where is space center houston.
Space Center Houston is at 1601 E NASA Parkway. This is found around 26 miles southeast of the city center, or approximately a 30-minute drive in light traffic.
How To Get to Space Center Houston?
From Houston, the easiest way to get to Space Center Houston is to drive. You can just follow the I-45 out of the city centre, and then take exit 24, following signs for NASA. It should take around half an hour, although of course traffic can slow you down. There is a large car-parking lot on site, with a reasonable daily fee of $5 per vehicle.
During the week it is also possible to take public transport to Space Center Houston, using Bus service 249. This takes around an hour and costs $3. You can see schedules and timetables on the Houston Metro site . Public transport is not available on the weekends.
There is a Hop-on Hop-off bus service in Houston , but it does not go to the Space Center.
You can also take a taxi or ride share service like Uber. Prices will vary, but will be in the region of $30 – $60 each way depending on traffic and time of day. You can also get these back from the Space Center.
Finally, it’s also possible to take a guided tour from the city centre out to Space Center Houston. As an example, this tour includes a tour of Houston, transport to and from Space Center Houston, as well as entry to the Space Center.
![houston nasa tour tickets Starship Gallery](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Starship-Gallery_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
How Much Does it Cost to Visit Space Center Houston?
Standard entry to Space Center Houston for an adult (12+) is $29.95 – $34.95 depending on the day and time you visit. It’s $24.95 for children (aged 4-11) and $27.95 for seniors (65+). Prices are correct as of February 2023.
There are a variety of discounts available for active and retired military with I.D., AAA members with I.D., and groups. Children 3 and under are able to enter for free.
You can see all the details of the pricing and discount eligibility on the official site here . Note, tickets bought on the official site are non-refundable. You can also buy your ticket online in advance here for the same price , with the option of free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance of your visit.
You can also buy tickets in person. The price is the same, but if you print your ticket at home or download it to your mobile device, then you can skip the ticket line and go straight to the entry turnstile. This can save you a bit of time on busy days.
Space Center Houston is also included on the Houston City PASS . This can save you significant money if you plan on visiting some of the other attractions that the pass covers – up to 50% savings in fact! We found the pass very useful for our trip to Houston.
The Houston City PASS includes entry to five of Houston’s most popular attractions, but you only need to visit two or three of them for it to start saving you money.
See what it covers and buy yours in advance here . You can also buy it here with the option to cancel up to 24 hours before your trip if you need the flexibility.
Note – the CityPASS includes the standard tram tours but not the Mission Control tram tour, which is a paid extra. Last time we checked in 2023, you can upgrade on site for $15, subject to availability.
![houston nasa tour tickets Space Vehicle Mockup Facility](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Space-Vehicle-Mockup-Facility_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
Are there different ticket types and experiences at the Space Center?
There are a number of different ticket options for Space Center. These are:
- the standard ticket
- the standard ticket with Mission Control Tour
- the Breakfast with an Astronaut Experience
- the VIP tour
The difference between these tours is reflected in the experience you have as well as the price you pay. See below for more on what each of these tickets includes and the difference between them, as well ar pricing.
Ticket types for Space Center Houston
The standard entry ticket gets you access to all the exhibits in the Space Center as well as the tram tour of NASA Johnson Space Center. This is the ticket included on the Houston City PASS . This costs $29.95 – $34.95 for an adult.
The standard entry ticket with Mission control tour . This is the same as the standard entry ticket but it also includes the Mission control tram tour. This costs an extra $15 per ticket, so for adults it varies from $44.95 – $49.95.
The breakfast with an astronaut experience. This includes your standard entry, plus, as the name suggests, you get to have a meal with an astronaut. You’ll hear stories and anecdotes from an actual NASA astronaut, plus have the opportunity to take photos.
This is only available once or twice a week, and it depends on astronaut availability. This experience needs to be booked in advance, and you can find out more here about availability and what it includes. It currently costs $99.95.
Finally, the NASA VIP Space Center Houston tour is the ultimate VIP experience, for those who want a truly unique and special experience. The highlight of this experience is a 3 hour guided tour of the NASA Johnson Space Center, giving you much more access than the tram tour.
The VIP costs $199.95, and the includes your entry to Space Centre Houston, so you have plenty of time to see everything. The tour needs to be booked in advance, which you can do here . It is only available for those aged 14 and older. Tours run twice a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. They actually visit different locations, so you could book both for the ultimate experience!
Experiences at Space Center Houston
As well as the different ticket options, Space Center Houston also offers a variety of educational programs geared to families and children’s organizations and groups (e.g., Boy Scouts, school groups).
For example, they offer a number of overnight experiences, including a family oriented overnight experience. This gives you the opportunity to actually stay overnight at the facility, either in your own tent outside, or inside amongst the artefacts.
You can see all the upcoming events and experiences on the events page here .

What can you do at Space Center Houston?
There is a lot to do at Space Center Houston, with over 400 space artifacts, a number of permanent and temporary exhibitions, learning experiences, theaters, and more!
Here’s a quick overview of the major attractions and activities you can enjoy at Space Center Houston. It’s not absolutely everything, but it should give you an idea of the scope of what’s on offer!
The NASA Tram Tour at Space Center Houston
This tour of the NASA Johnson Space Center takes you to some of the highlights of the Johnson Space Center, and is one of the most popular parts of a visit to the Space Center.
The tour may change depending on what’s happening at the facility and security considerations with active missions and programmes, but it normally has the option to visit one or more of the following, depending on the time of year and tram tour chosen:
- The Mission Operations Control Room 2, commonly known as Mission Control, which was where the Apollo missions were coordinated from.
- The Space Vehicle Mockup Facility, where astronauts train on replicas of space vehicles like the ISS.
- Rocket Park, home to a Saturn V rocket (the size has to be seen to be believed) as well as a number of other rockets from different stages of the space program.
We have more detail on the tram tour in the section dedicated to taking the tram tour elsewhere in this guide.
![houston nasa tour tickets Space Vehicle Mockup Facility](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Space-Vehicle-Mockup-Facility_by_Laurence-Norah-2.jpg)
Independence Plaza
Independence Plaza is a large space outside the main Space Center building. It is home to an actual Boeing 747 aircraft, atop which is mounted a replica space shuttle.
The 747 in question was one of two Shuttle Carrier Aircraft developed by NASA to transport the space shuttle from it secondary landing site back to the main Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center.
Often, bad weather would prevent the shuttle from landing at Kennedy, and so the 747 was developed to transport it back.
At Independence Plaza you can go all the way up into the replica shuttle, as well as through the length of the 747, where there are a variety of exhibits and interactive installations, telling the story of the vehicle.
Starship Gallery
Inside the main Space Center building, one of the most impressive galleries in our opinion is the Starship Gallery.
This is home to three actual spacecraft which have flown to space, the Mercury 9 capsule, the Gemini 5 capsule, and the Apollo 17 command module.
There’s also a lunar module test vehicle, a lunar rover test vehicle, a full-scale Skylab trainer and more.
Finally, the Starship Gallery is home to an actual piece of lunar rock, which is one of only eight in the world that you are allowed to touch. Yes, you can touch a piece of the moon in the Starship Gallery!
Mission Mars
One of the newest exhibits at the Space Center is Mission Mars. This exhibit focuses on NASA’s project to ultimately send manned space missions to Mars.
It covers the various challenges that need to be overcome for that to be successful, the vehicles that are being developed to take us there, and an overview of humanity’s relationship with the red planet.
There are also galleries explaining what life on Mars might be like when we finally send people there, including the habitats, clothing, and equipment that might be used.
This is a very interactive exhibit, with lots of touchscreens and hands on opportunities. You can also touch a Mars meteorite here.
Astronaut Gallery
The astronaut gallery is a display of astronaut clothing and spacesuits that have been on real-life missions.
Some of the highlights of this gallery include Pete Conrad’s Apollo 12 suit, Michael Collins’ Apollo 11 garment, and Wally Schrira’s Apollo 7 suit.
However, there are a great many wonderful exhibits here, spanning all of NASA’s space flight programmes. There is also the crew wall, which features portraits of every NASA astronaut who has flown in space, from Alan Shepherd and Neil Armstrong up to those currently in orbit on the International Space Station.
![houston nasa tour tickets Space Center Houston Tram Tour Mission Control](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Space-Center-Houston-Tram-Tour-Mission-Control_by_Laurence-Norah-3.jpg)
International Space Station Gallery
The International Space Station (ISS) is one of mankind’s most impressive space achievements. This massive science laboratory, which orbits the earth at over 17,000 miles per hour, is the largest structure ever built in space. It is home to astronauts from all over the world.
The ISS gallery is designed to give you a sense of what life on the ISS is like, as well as to give an insight into the sort of research and experiments that take place on the ISS.
There’s also a live daily interactive show, Living in Space, which uses the latest projection mapping technology to explain what day to day life on the ISS is like. This usually takes place 3 – 4 times a day, and you can find out showtimes for the day of your visit from the Guest Services Desk on site.
There are two main theatres at the Space Center, the Destiny Theater and the Space Center Theatre.
The Destiny Theater shows the “Human Destiny” film, which uses NASA archival footage to tell the story of how NASA was formed, followed by the story of key NASA events and accomplishments. This is around 15 minutes in duration, and plays throughout the day continuously.
This theater is also home to the lectern used by US President John F. Kennedy when he gave his seminal speech announcing his intention to land an American on the moon.
The Space Center Theater is a state of the art 4K theater, and at time of writing, is the largest 4K theater in Texas. This plays a variety of space related films, documentaries, and animations.
The best way to see what is showing in the Space Center Theater when you visit is to download the official Space Center Houston app . You can also check with the Guest Services desk when you arrive for showtimes.
Entry to both theaters is included with your standard admission ticket.
Mission Briefing Center
If you want to know what’s happening in the world of space exploration right now, you’ll want to head to the Mission Briefing Center.
Here, there are daily presentations on current NASA missions, with real-time updates on progress and events, both in space and on earth.
This is a wonderful way to find out what’s happening right now in NASA, plus the live briefing finishes with a Q&A with the mission briefing officer, so you can ask your own questions and find out about the things that really interest you.
The content of the briefings changes, but they usually run three times a day and last for 30 minutes. Times for the briefings are displayed at the entrance to the Mission Briefing Center, as well as on the daily schedule in the map and guide you will receive. You can also ask at Guest Services for timings.
Ah yes, the gift shops! You definitely don’t want to leave the Space Center without picking up some sort of memorabilia of your trip, be that a t-shirt, a toy, or some astronaut ice cream.
There’s one major gift shop at the Space Center, as well as a smaller gift shop near the tram departure area. We noticed that these do carry slightly different items, so do check both of them.
One tip – don’t leave your shopping until the last minute. A lot of people do this, as we did, and there tends to be a mad rush for the tills right at the end of the day. So perhaps head over to the gift shop at least an hour before closing so you can browse and check out at a more leisurely pace.
![houston nasa tour tickets Mission Mars](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Mission-Mars_by_Laurence-Norah-2.jpg)
That’s just some of what is on offer at the Space Center Houston. As well as all the above, there are also regularly changing and updated temporary exhibits. So you definitely won’t run out of fun things to see and do!
How Long do you Need at Space Center Houston?
As you can see from all the things to do at Space Center Houston, you could easily spend a full day here.
We would suggest spending a minimum of 3 – 4 hours here, which will give you time to see some of the highlights and take a tram tour.
However, ideally you would plan to spend the full day here so as to have time to see and do everything without feeling rushed.
There’s a huge amount to see and do, especially when you consider the tram tour, films, interactive exhibits, and so on, and you should make the most of your ticket.
Do you Need to do the Tram Tour at Space Center Houston?
The tram tour at Space Center Houston is not mandatory and you can spend your time just exploring the museum.
However, if you have not visited the Space Center before and taken the tram tour, we would definitely recommend doing it as it is one of the highlights of the experience.
There are three options for the tram tour, depending on your interest. Two of these are included on your entry ticket whilst the third requires an additional fee payable when you book.
The tram tours are as follows:
- George W.S. Abbey Rocket Park Tour. Visits the Rocket Park where the Saturn V rocket can be found. Included on general admission, requires boarding pass (book on arrival with staff members at Guest Services Desk or with free app ).
- Astronaut Training Facility Tour. As well as Rocket Park, this tour also visits the Astronaut Training Facility to see where NASA astronauts train. Included on general admission, requires boarding pass (book on arrival with staff members at Guest Services Desk or with free app ).
- Historic Mission Control tour. This tour visit the actual mission control where NASA co-ordinated all the Apollo missions. It also includes Rocket Park. This tour has an additional fee and must be booked in advance when purchasing your general admission ticket. When you book you will choose a timeslot. If you are visiting with a CityPASS , you can pay $15 on site to upgrade to the Mission Control Tram Tour, subject to availability.
Of the tours, personally, I would pick the Mission Control tour as it’s such an iconic location. However, if you don’t want to pay the extra I would opt for the Astronaut Training Facility Tour as it includes Rocket Park.
Note that when we visited Mission Control it was being done up for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo landings, so this image isn’t representative of the experience you will have, however I did want to share it as I still though the consoles looked pretty cool – even in plastic wrap!
![houston nasa tour tickets Space Center Houston Tram Tour Mission Control](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Space-Center-Houston-Tram-Tour-Mission-Control_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
If you want, you can actually take multiple tram tours. However, as the tours last 90 minutes to 2 hours, this will use up a lot of the day.
Note also that the locations the trams visit can vary depending on operational schedules and other factors.
The Mission Control tour has pre-booked timed slots which you select when you book your admission ticket.
If you are not taking the Mission Control tram (or are visiting with a CityPASS and want to upgrade to the Mission Control tram), then we would suggest that you make booking your tram tour the first thing you do on arrival.
To take a tram tour, you need a timed boarding pass. You can either get this from the Guest Services desk at the entrance, or you can download the free Space Center Houston app and book that way.
Note that if you take the VIP tour, you have your own private minivan tour of the NASA Johnson Space Center.
Tram tours normally run from fifteen minutes after the Space Center opens, and run every 20 minutes, until 2 hours before closing. For example. if the Space Center closes at 5pm, the last tram will depart at 3pm.
We highly recommend checking times and booking your boarding pass for the tram as soon as you arrive, so you can be sure not to miss out.
Once you have booked the tram tour, you can explore the remainder of the museum at your own leisure until it is time to board.

What are the Highlights of Space Center Houston?
If you are visiting the Space Center for a limited amount of time, you might be wondering what the best way to make the most of your time would be.
If it was me, my priority would be to take the tram tour over anything else. That’s because this is a really unique experience that you can’t get anywhere else.
The museum and all the exhibits are also excellent. However, if we had to pick some favourites for your visit, we’s suggest you visit:
- Independence Plaza, home to the world’s only shuttle replica, which is mounted on an actual shuttle carrying 747 aircraft
- The original Apollo 17 Command Module, which has flown to the moon. This is in the Starship Gallery
- The moon rock exhibit where you can actually touch a piece of moon rock. This is also in the Starship Gallery
- The gift shop, because it’s awesome!
Ideally though you will be able to see and do a lot more than the above.
![houston nasa tour tickets Independence Plaza Space Center Houston](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Independence-Plaza-Space-Center-Houston_by_Laurence-Norah-2.jpg)
Is Food Available at Space Center Houston?
Yes, food is available for purchase at the Space Center. The dining area is called the Zero-G diner, and it has a range of food options from sandwiches and vegetarian options through to grilled food, burgers, and pizzas.
Food is not included on your entry ticket unless you have the lunch with an astronaut tour pre-booked, in which case you will have lunch served in a different location.
The Zero G diner does offer a 10% discount to Space Center Houston members, members of the U.S. military, and senior citizens. Be sure to present your I.D. before ordering to claim any discounts.
Is there an Audio Tour of Space Center Houston?
Space Center Houston offers the Space Center App for smartphones. This includes an audio tour, GPS maps of the location, AR experiences, and more.
This is available as a free download for both Android and Apple smartphones. You can find the correct link here .
We’d highly recommend getting this in advance of your visit, and remembering to bring a pair of headphones so you can take full advantage of it.
Up until 2018 there was a separate audio guide that was purchasable for a fee, however this is no longer offered as an option.
Is Space Center Houston Accessible?
Space Center Houston has made great efforts to provide a fully accessible experience across a range of accessibility needs.
In terms of general physical accessibility, all the exhibitions, theaters and tours are fully accessible to wheelchair users. There are also wheelchairs available on site on a first come first served basis.
Beyond physical accessibility, there are a number of other accessibility features, including events and programs for autism and sensory accessibility, deaf and hard of hearing accessibility and visual accessibility. Service animals, as defined by the ADA and Texas laws, are also permitted.
There’s an excellent page on the official Space Center website here , all about the various accessibility options and programmes available. We’d also recommend you reach our directly to the Space Center with any accessibility questions or needs you may have prior to your visit if you have any further queries.
Other Attractions near Space Center Houston
Space Center Houston is around 30 – 40 minutes drive south east of Houston, so you might be wondering if there are other attractions in the area.
The closest attraction which is popular with visitors to Houston, which is also covered on the Houston City PASS , is the Kemah Boardwalk . This is a large boardwalk which is home to a number of amusement rides, games, restaurants, and attractions. A great place for families.
You can either visit here yourself with a car, or you can take a tour from Houston that includes both the Space Center and Kemah Boardwalk like this .
For more inspiration on other things to do near the Space Center and in Houston in general, see our guide to things to do in Houston .
How Busy is Space Center Houston?
The Space Center is one of the most popular attractions in Houston, and as such it does get quite busy. The busiest times are on holidays, weekends, and during the summer.
If possible, we’d advise visiting outside of these times. During the busiest times, there can be long wait times for the tram tour in particular.
In addition, the Space Center is popular with school groups. These visit throughout the year, but the main months are March, April, and May.
These can definitely raise the volume level in the Space Center, and make it much busier, so bear this in mind if visiting during these months.
![houston nasa tour tickets Space Center Houston Tram Tour infopoint](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Space-Center-Houston-Tram-Tour-infopoint_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
Opening Hours for Space Center Houston
Space Center Houston is open year round except on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Standard opening times are from 10am – 5pm, however during busy times they can open at 9am, and close at 6pm.
You can see a full day by day schedule of opening hours on the official website here . Note that opening hours are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances, although this is rare.
Contact Information for Space Center Houston
If you want to contact the Space Center, you have a few options. First, most of your questions should be answered on their website, which you can see here .
If you still have questions about your visit, you can contact the Space Center by e-mail or phone.
Contact e-mail addresses are [email protected] or [email protected] . The phone number is +1 281-244-2100.
In my experience, e-mail was the fastest way to reach them for specific queries. The phone line has a number of automated response options with ticketing information and prices, but I wasn’t personally able to reach a human. E-mail responses on the other hand were fast and accurate.
Our Experience Visiting Space Center Houston
We visited Space Center Houston mid-week in late September, which turned out to be a great option as it was not too busy. The first thing we did was visit the tram tour info point, where we learnt the tram schedule for the day.
It was obvious when we visited the info point that there weren’t going to be major lines for the tram on the day of our visit.
This isn’t always the case of course, and at busy times the lines for the tram can be much longer – we were just lucky!
In addition, as we were lucky to be visiting on a quieter day, the tram was scheduled to visit all the highlights, so we didn’t have to pick a tram route.
We decided to come back to around 15 minutes in advance of a departure and spend some time exploring some of the exhibits. We visited the ISS display, the Starship Gallery, and the Mission to Mars exhibit.
![houston nasa tour tickets Space Center Houston](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Space-Center-Houston_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
Then, it was time for the tram ride. As previously mentioned, there are usually different tram routes to choose from, but the day we visited it was less busy and so they were running a combined tour. This means we got to visit Mission Control, the astronaut training center, and the Rocket Park, which was pretty awesome.
The tram ride took just under two hours, and was the definite highlight of our experience. Seeing the historic Mission Control room, which was home to so many important moments in the space programme, was really something special. And this was despite much of it being covered in wrapping due to refurbishment!
We also enjoyed seeing the huge astronaut training center, but I have to say, the Rocket Park was something else. There’s nothing quite like being up close to a Saturn V rocket to give you an idea of the scale of these vehicles.
We were lucky enough to visit the US Space and Rocket Center whilst attending Space Camp in Huntsville Alabama , which is home to two more Saturn V rockets, and they were just as impressive!
Finally, after the tram tour, we visited the remainder of the main sights we wanted to see. The Independence Plaza was definitely a highlight – being able to get up inside one of the actual 747 shuttle carrier aircraft was a real experience, and seeing the scale of the shuttle against the 747 was amazing.

Your information was EXCELLENT! I’ve lived in Houston for 2 years now but haven’t had a chance to visit the Space Center -even though I’ve driven past it going to Galveston several times. My daughter and son-in-law are coming to visit and we are going this weekend. I had viewed the Space Center’s website last month but still had a few questions. Your information answered all of my questions and was much, much better than the Space Center’s site! Thank you so much for giving such detailed and informative information. If this is the type of information you provide about other attractions you visit, then these attractions should pay you for the excellent information you provide!

Laurence and Jessica, Thank you for the great piece on The Space Center in Houston. My wife and I are looking forward to our visit in mid November. We have been privileged to have had the opportunity to visit both The Kennedy Space Center and the NASA facility in Huntsville. We are throughly excited about seeing the ‘real’ mission control room. Seeing the Saturn 5 rocket is always pretty amazing. Thanks again, Kurt and Veronica Peterson

Our pleasure Kurt! Have an amazing time, and do let us know how you enjoy it compared to the other locations you’ve visited 😀

Excellent write-up, Jessica and Laurence. I finally found the guide I was looking for!! One quick question. Is it easy to get a Uber/lyft on the way back from the Space Center to downtown? I want to use that option rather than a standard tour so that I have maximum time at the Center and return as per my convenience. But dont want to get stranded there without transport!!
13th August 2019 at 12:05 pm
So we’ve not personally done this ride with Uber or Lyft, but looking at what other travellers have said and checking the Uber app, it does look like it shouldn’t be a problem 🙂
Have a great time!

NASA Johnson Space Center and Space Center Houston: The Complete Guide
![houston nasa tour tickets houston nasa tour tickets](https://www.tripsavvy.com/thmb/VumJOa1DeaQVUbQenbRW0KH2CtI=/72x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/profile.copy.BNK-594279ff89f14ffcba1d6be4e5920475.jpg)
NASA is determined to get another man—and the first woman—on the moon by 2024, and Johnson Space Center (JSC) is one of the places that’s making it happen. For more than half a century, this sprawling, 100-building research and development complex just outside Houston has led the nation in scientific, engineering, medical, and technical advances that have shaped space-related travel—and is jettisoning it into the future. The only way the public can visit the complex—including the newly restored Mission Control Center, appearing exactly as it did on July 20, 1969, when the first lunar landing was monitored from here—is via Space Center Houston, the center’s official visitor center. Here you’ll enjoy a state-of-the-art museum , arrange a tram tour, visit the replica space shuttle Independence , plus purchase tickets for special experiences.
It all started when John F. Kennedy stated to Congress in 1961: “We choose to go to the moon.” The Manned Spacecraft Center opened in 1963 (it was renamed in 1973 to honor the 36th president), kicking off a four-decades-old-and-counting legacy of “design, development, and operation of human space flight.”
JSC is where astronauts are selected and trained. This is where Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab were run, and where International Space Station missions are still being run. And this is where Orion—the new spacecraft to send humans to the moon and Mars—is operating. Today, the center remains one of NASA’s largest research and development facilities.
Space Center Houston opened in 1992 as the public arm of Johnson Space Center, a world-class, 250,000-square-foot space with exhibits, real-life space artifacts, and lunar models. Disney Imagineers helped design the concepts, ensuring an entertaining yet educational aspect. Since then, Space Center Houston has welcomed more than 20 million visitors.
What to See and Do
Space Center Houston is your starting point, where you’ll get your tickets, enjoy artifact-filled galleries, films, and live demonstrations, and hop on the popular NASA tram tour of the JSC complex. You could spend all day here—and should allocate at least six hours to do it justice. Your experience can be enhanced with add-ons, including a VIP NASA experience and lunch with an astronaut.
Your first stop at the museum should be Destiny Theater and the film, “Human Destiny,” which provides an overview of many of the artifacts that you’ll be seeing.
From here, seek out the Starship Gallery, where the chronology of U.S. space travel showcases the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo eras. Among the ships and vehicles on display are the Apollo 17 command module, the last Apollo mission to the moon; a lunar roving trainer, which astronauts used to practice driving a rover on the moon; and the lunar module LTA-8, which transported astronauts to and from the spacecraft to the lunar surface. Look for the Gene Kranz Apollo 17 Vest, worn by the iconic flight director known for wearing colorful vests handmade by his wife. Nearby in the Lunar Samples Vault, you can touch a real-life rock from the moon, one of only eight rocks in the world that are allowed to be touched.
Astronaut Gallery delves into the life of an astronaut, displaying different spacesuits and garments from the Gemini, Apollo, and Shuttle eras, including Sally Ride’s inflight coveralls, Michael Collins’ Apollo 11 garment, and John Young’s STS-1 suit. A portrait gallery on the wall memorializes every NASA astronaut who has flown in space.
Mars is on the forefront of NASA’s goals, and the Mission Mars Gallery explores the work that’s going on to make travel there happen. Here you climb into a replica Orion capsule, the vehicle that which will transport astronauts to the moon and beyond, and learn about the intricacies of travel to the red planet—and living there. You can also touch a real-life Mars rock.
In the International Space Station Gallery, showcasing the largest structure built in space (as long as a football field!), you’ll see real-life artifacts and interactive robotic exhibits that bring the International Space Station to life. You’ll also learn about the day-to-day life on this giant space laboratory.
At Independence Plaza, a replica of the Independence Space Shuttle sits atop the original NASA 905 shuttle carrier aircraft. And not only is it amazing to look at, but you can climb inside the shuttle, where exhibits delve into the history and future of space exploration. Here you’ll get a feel for what it was like to live in this very functional, gadget-filled space. Hint: It’s not very glamorous, but it’s technically astounding. You can also explore inside the original airplane.
The pièce de résistance, however, is the popular, one-hour NASA Tram Tour , which takes you on a behind-the-scenes look at the JSC campus. This is the actual working space of scientists, engineers, technicians, and astronauts who are imagining and striving for the next space journeys. You have two choices of tours, depending on what you want to see.
- The Astronaut Training Facility Tour includes a visit to the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility in Building 9, where astronauts train and scientists and engineers work and invent; you’ll see ISS replicas, the Orion capsule, and other new NASA projects.
- The Mission Control Center Tour takes you to the newly restored Apollo Mission Control Center, from which the Gemini and Apollo missions were managed—including the first famous moon walk.
On some weekends and holidays, another option is to visit the current Mission Control, where the International Space Station activities are monitored.
How to Visit
Johnson Space Center and Space Center Houston are located about 30 minutes from downtown Houston . Space Center Houston, Johnson Space Center’s visitor center, is open daily except Christmas. For specific hours, visit the website . One-day passes are $29.95 for adults, $24.95 for children (ages 4 to 11), and $27.95 for seniors (65+). There’s also a $5 fee for parking.
An audio option, narrated by astronauts, is available at the Information Desk for $36 for adults and $31 for children.
When you purchase your ticket, you will be given time slots for the NASA tram tour of the JSC and to visit Independence Plaza, both of which are included in your ticket price. These are your hard stops, when you must visit at your appointed times. In between those visits, stroll through the museum’s spacious galleries, enjoy films, see what lectures are going on, dine at Zero-G Diner, and take it all in.
Additional ticket options include the Level 9 VIP Tour, which provides behind-the-scenes access to the Johnson Space Center ($179.95; must be at least 14 to participate); and Lunch with an Astronaut ($69.95 for adults, $35.95 for children ages 4 to 11; includes admission to Space Center Houston), in which an astronaut shares a catered lunch while telling his or her stories and answering questions.
Tips for Visiting
- You can skip the line by buying tickets online , ahead of your visit.
- If you become a member, which costs just a few dollars more than the ticket price, you’ll get priority boarding on the NASA Tram Tour .
- Most visitors come on weekends, holidays, and summer. If you want a more relaxed experience, visit off-season or arrive as early as possible during high season.
- Space Center Houston is part of CityPass Houston ($59 for adults, $49 for children), which includes admission to four other city attractions.
- Seasonal exhibits are often offered in the Main Plaza, in front Space Center Houston, and live shows take place on the outdoor Stellar Science Stage.

'It causes harm': Houston residents react to Supreme Court's decision to reverse bump stock ban
![houston nasa tour tickets Chaz Miller Image](https://cdn.abcotvs.com/dip/images/10467862_03212021-ktrk-Chaz-Miller-bio-img.jpg)
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- While the Supreme Court's decision to reverse the ban on bump stocks is a significant development, you've been able to purchase them here since last year.
This decision came after a 2023 decision from the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which made them available again in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
The big issue is whether or not a bump stock turns a semiautomatic weapon into a machine gun. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who wrote the court's opinion, said it does not.
Kyle Harrison, the general manager at Top Gun Range in West Houston, concurs.
RELATED: How bump stocks change the way semi-automatic weapons are fired
"It was a very good response," Harrison said of Thomas' opinion. "He obviously knows what he is talking about."
Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a bump stock as a replacement stock for a semiautomatic rifle that enables it to fire much more rapidly.
The Trump Administration determined that bump stocks turned semiautomatic guns into machine guns in 2018, but Harrison said this is why that isn't the case.
"You have to pull the trigger every single time," he said, using a bump stock. "It's not an automatic gun like an M16 where you could pull the trigger, hold it, and it would continue to fire."
In her dissenting opinion, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor disagreed.
"When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck," she said.
ABC13 spoke to some Houston residents on Friday who feel similarly to Sotomayor.
"If we already know it causes harm, I don't understand what you'd need to be doing with it," Nicole Lavrack said.
PREVIOUS REPORT: Supreme Court hears challenge to Trump-era ban on bump stocks in a major gun control case
Vice President Kamala Harris said the Biden Administration will urge Congress to re-ban bump stocks due to the decision.
The changes were previously made by the Justice Department, altering the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Jennifer Lopez has canceled seven dates of her first North American tour in five years, in support of her new album “This Is Me… Now ” and its pair of companion films.
The dates spanning Aug. 20-31 in Cleveland, Nashville, Raleigh, Atlanta, Tampa, New Orleans and Houston were listed as canceled on Ticketmaster at some point on Wednesday; the Cleveland and Houston dates apparently had been removed from the itinerary earlier, as they were part of the tour’s originally announced itinerary on Feb. 15 but are no longer present on the site at all. An u pdated itinerary can be found on her social media accounts.

The album, tour and two films are part of a self-financed $20 million three-part multimedia project examining, as Variety described in a recent cover article , “Lopez’s life as a serial romantic,” regarding her reunion with actor Ben Affleck, whom she married in 2022 nearly two decades after the high-profile superstar couple originally split in the wake of their flop 2003 romantic comedy “Gigli.”
A rep for the artist did not immediately respond to Variety ’s request for comment; the cancellation notice reads simply, “Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event. No action is required to obtain a refund.”
The cancellations come after Lopez’s new album — her first in a decade — also titled “This Is Me…Now,” debuted at a disappointing No. 38 on the Billboard 200 last month.
The project, which also includes the musical film, “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story,” and a documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” is apparently intended as a love-conquers-all statement.
