Space Center Houston is the official visitor center of NASA’s Johnson Space Center and a must-visit for anyone curious about space exploration. Located just 30 minutes from downtown Houston, it offers a close-up look at real spacecraft, astronaut gear, and the future of space travel.
Mighty and massive, the Saturn V rocket sent Americans to the moon. Of the three on display worldwide, this is the only rocket with fully flight-certified hardware, made of various unused rocket components. Walk under this giant, which stands 363 feet tall and weighs 6.2 million pounds when fully fueled.
On display is a comprehensive collection of spacesuits and astronaut apparel, used from training flights to spacewalks on the Moon. From Pete Conrad and Michael Collins to Judy Resnik and Sally Ride, the collection includes some of the biggest names from the space industry. Don’t forget to catch a glimpse of the Crew Portrait Wall, featuring every NASA astronaut who has flown into space—goosebumps, indeed!
Book a seat on the NASA Tram Tour—one of the most exciting experiences while here, and roll right into the Johnson Space Center. This is the training base for NASA astronauts and the site of Mission Control, from where the Earth team supports our men and women in space.
From the Artemis Exhibit, an interactive exhibit highlighting the return of humans to space after 50 years, to Mission Mars, which discusses everything there is to know about humans’ mission to the Red Planet, these exhibits allow you to dive into the future of space.
Kids and parents, grab your camping gear and head to the space center for a multitude of experiences—they are seriously fun. Participate in robotic challenges and space-themed interactive experiences, and camp out under the starry sky for overnight experiences, which include building STEM skills (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) through hands-on learning.
Walk beneath the massive, fully restored rocket that launched astronauts to the Moon. It’s one of only three left in the world—and the longest ever built.
