“There are a lot of makers. Real things will be better”
Explore Space Center Houston at your own pace with NASA trams, moon rocks, Mission Control exhibits, films, and hands-on space science.
“Reserve tickets ahead for the historical mission control tour. Otherwise other trams are free. Highly recommend the rocket center tour. The talk with the astronaut was the best! A good sightseeing place. Would recommend. 6 hours spent there.”
Combine a Houston double-decker city tour with Space Center admission, NASA tram rides, and round-trip transport in one useful six-hour outing.
“NASA was too crowded and the 4 hrs is just not enough. The Houston bus tour in the morning was good. The driver/ host was informative and enthusiastic.”
Explore Houston’s air-conditioned downtown tunnels, historic lobbies, skyscrapers, art, holiday decor, and local stories on this $25 walking tour.
“Totally enjoyed the tour. Diana, the tour guide, was a wealth of knowledge and very relatable. Definitely would recommend to others.”
Explore Houston’s four-floor natural science museum with dinosaur fossils, rare gems, Texas wildlife, and family-friendly permanent exhibits.
“Visited the museum for our anniversary trip and it was just magical. We didn’t think we would have so much fun as adults and now we are going to have to visit again to bring the kids because they would be enchanted too.”
See Houston’s murals, downtown landmarks, theaters, parks, and history on a 80-minute open-air city tour for $44.95.
“Since it is summer in Texas, it is hot. Be prepared to be sitting in the heat, if you sit on the upper level. If possible, bring a portable fan and water. Wear a hat if possible. It was fun and a learning experience.”
Tour Houston landmarks, touch a moon rock, ride the NASA tram, and explore Space Center Houston with transport included for $99.
