Despite the ridiculous amount of people (we were there on the Saturday before the eclipse), this place was a highlight for almost everyone in our group. We'd booked months out via the website, and booked a timed entry ticket and a Mission Control tram tour. The Mission Control tour was amazing - and worth the extra cost, at least in our opinion. Rocket park was also really cool - and the Saturn V was a huge hit. The super long line up to see the Independence was not something we expected, and after our tram tour to Mission Control, was lined up all the way to the Falcon 9. It was a really long wait, but one we endured as seeing the Independence was something a few in our group wanted to see. The cafeteria was PACKED and getting food was also long, and finding a table was a chore in and of itself. That being said, the food was tasty and hit the spot. We didn't see any of the shows, since the place felt like it was at capacity and there was hardly any room to move, and we briefly moved through the exhibits. The Skylab area was backed up, and after having waited in long lines for the orbiter, we skipped this. Although it was super busy, we still enjoyed, and if there's a next time, we'll come on a less crazy day so we can explore it better. Tip - do the viewing of the orbiter and the 747 FIRST, then take the next available tram to Rocket park. Bring your own snacks, and a refillable water bottle (super grateful for that if you're wanting to cut down on expenses because the gift shop is expensive, but where else can you get Space Center Houston named souvenirs.

My husband and I took out two young grandsons (eight and ten) to NASA on our trip to Houston. The oldest one said this was his favourite thing of all the things we did. It is so interesting and educational, for all ages. I do recommend booking ahead of time as the early entry was sold out, so we came back later. (We just drove to Galveston, which we were going to do anyway,) Also, make sure to do a couple of tram tours. The lineup to see the space shuttle was quite long, so maybe go later in the day, if possible.

Book your visit online early to make sure you get to everything you want to go to. The Mission Control Tour was booked out when I visited and the Astronaut Training Tour wasn't running. You can pay extra for various premium experiences, like eating with an astronaut, but the basic admission is great value for serious space nuts - I was there from opening at 10 am to closing at 5pm and still didn't see everything. The big deal is one of only 3 surviving Saturn V rockets and the Space Shuttle and 747 Transporter combination. Other shuttles are available to visit but this 747 is unique, and I always wondered what was inside, and now I know! You might get a discounted entry using the code on a leaflet from your hotel at the last minute but that might compromise the access you get.

Terrible organization, could've been so much more. Especially considering the outrageous prices. Not worth it, don't recommend.

Went to visit while in town for a convention. Mixed feelings about this visit. The center itself has a lot to see and do, including tram run tours included in admission. The operations of the center seem kind of messy. Upon arriving, we managed to get in early to the center (getting out of the airport took way less time than we anticipated), so we got there at 1:30pmish and our tickets were for 2:30 pm. They wouldn't let us in early but we were sent to 3 staff members before they could make a decision on letting us in or not. When 2 pm rolled around, the lineup outside (which was there from 1:30-2 pm) was done, so they decided to let us in at that time, but there was a lack of communication in terms of letting people outside waiting know they decided to let more folks in, the only reason I knew was because I asked once I noticed the line was gone. The way the inside is set up, you can't wait in an air-conditioned lobby until your ticket time or in a gift shop or cafeteria so waiting outside in the hot weather sucked. The cafeteria had lots of food options and an online ordering system as well as in-person, so I was actually able to order while I waited to get inside the center so that helped with managing our time. The food was overpriced but pretty good. They were closing an hour early that day for a private event, but there was no notice on our tickets or signs when getting inside at the gates so that came as a last-minute shock. Wish we had known that ahead of time to reorganize our plans. So TLDR: worth a visit because it has a lot to see and is kind of iconic, but wish it was less pricey/tourist trappy and had better operations/communication.

Must do in Houston! If you're interested in space you can't miss out on this activity. Maybe even every person needs to do this to see and understand what space programs humanity is working on. Learned a lot 'bout Artemis, the space project that NASA is currently working on and will be working on in the future with the current moon and future mars missions. Also, it is just out of this world to stand beside the Saturn V rocket to see with own eyes what a collossal thing they can launch into space! Crazy!

After visiting the Kennedy space centre I had high hopes, but was disappointed for several reasons. I couldn't book my tickets in advance via the website it just hung so ended up paying more to get in. Having to pay $10 for parking. Why if you are paying for entrance do you have to pay for parking? The tour for the traing centre that was part of the price for ticket but was not available due to training. The tour to the mission control that has an additional cost and on the website said was not running, was running but we didn't now until all the places were booked. Large queue's for several exhibits. Lot's of items were mock ups, and those at the rocket garden were in poor condition. This visitor centre and experience doesn't come any where close to the Kennedy space centre.

Visited April 4, 2024. After spending $30 for the entry ticket and $10 for parking I had high expectations, but it was a huge disappointment. - Despite timed entry tickets, the museum was severely overcrowded and there were long lines everywhere, even to get into the gift shop. The films and exhibits don't have enough seating - unless you get there 20-30 minutes before each show starts, be prepared to stand or sit on the floor. Visitors are allowed to bring in kids age 3 and younger for free, so be prepared to watch the films next to a screaming baby or a toddler throwing a tantrum. There is no staff around enforcing basic rules of behavior. - The museum is a disorganized mess and there is no cohesive narrative for the visitor to follow. Don't expect to learn much (or anything): the exhibits are very basic and there are hardly any interactive displays. Save your money for another museum.

Finding out the details behind the headlines which I read about in highschool and during my tour of military duty.

It’s was nice, but there was a lot of people. So I will recommend that you come early. Or else you have to wait in line a lot
