The scale of human achievement is impressive . vVery informative

Its a great place to take out of town guests and especially good for kids. Lots to see and do and there is plenty of history on view. The one real disappointment for me was that Houston did not get a real shuttle, just a phony mock up. That model on top of the 747 just isnt the same as the real thing. How they decided to give a real one to NYC is a real mystery to me since they had absolutely NOTHING to do with any space flight ever.

Very clean, great customer service, and not to crowded. Great place to take the whole family .

Very educational and the set up is great despite covid

I give Independence Plaza at Space Center Houston, 1601 NASA Road 1, Houston, TX 77058 FIVE STARS. Its so incredible to be able to enter a a full size 747, with so much to read and see. ️ bring your camera and take lots of pics. Great memories.

A very interesting trip, this is the second time I visit the site but still a great experience

Great information on the Apollo program and Spaceshuttle missions.

Had so much fun in here. Very informative with plenty of activities for kids and adults alike. Well air conditioned to bring relief from the humidity. 2 hours was not enough time. Honestly need 2 or 3 entire days to thoroughly take in all the exhibits.

Fun & educational. There are so many exhibits and information! This is an all day attraction. If you like space exploration and science, you will love the exhibits here. Some are interactive, some are purely informative. All are amazing!Great gift and food court too!Have fun!

Real rocket in front of you, it is really amazing! I like the tour even I waited for more than 30 minutes though. Kids would have a lot of fun in here.

Special fried rice(shrimp and beef) 11＄

Bought a membership online. Making a reservation time was an awful experience but once we got into the space center the kids had a blast.

Great family experience! So much to see and do for everyone. The movies and demonstrations were entertaining and informative. The highlight was boarding the full size 747 carrying the shuttle! They have a food court inside too. This place is a must see for everyone!!!

I was really excited to see the Shuttle Carrier and the Shuttle, but am really disappointed with how, for lack of a better word, sanitized the display are. You dont get to see the cockpit of the shuttle carrier or even go on that floor. The main cabin of the carrier basically feels like youre inside a building.The shuttle is similar and its a replica, which is ok, but still, you dont know whats real and whats been changed to make it a better display or safe for visitors.

Very interesting items from the space programs, I enjoyed it.

It is so great that this location is always updating to see new and exciting information regarding space travel.The only downsides is I went during a time when we dont have our own rockets flying, and the shuttle program has ended, so there are some features of the facility that track active missions that are not as active at the moment.The tours into NASA are fun, but I was here during a government shutdown, so there was nobody actually working to watch.It is great that they have added the building over at Rocket park to protect the Saturn V rocket they have on display there and preserver a piece of our history.As an added bonus, they had the old Galileo 5 Shuttle prop from Star Trek TOS on display in the cafe when I was visiting.It is sad that they dont regularly offer visits to the Training Pool, but since there are not many missions happening right now, there may not be much to see as of this writing.

It was pretty cool to be able to go inside both aircrafts.

Fun place to take the kiddos if you’re into space and all that stuff. Lots of fun exhibits. A tad spendy but they do offer military discount which we benefited from.

Great place to see mocs of what really happend in space and very interesting facts

Simply amazing. NASA is intriguing.

Very great experience.Came between Christmas and New Years, so they were VERY busy. 4 hour wait for the tram.Shuttle was a replica and not an actual launch vehicle.

Incredible! Board the full size 747 and examine the inside. Interactive displays are great for kids. Video and audio display as well. Bring friends for the best experience.

Great place to spend some time learning

Its a frecking space shuttle. How cool is this. Ok. The space shuttle is a full size replica but the 747 is fully legit and you must check it out. Ive been here twice and have joined as a member. Worth a revisit next time Im there. Did I mention the space shuttle?

If you want a proof that moon landing is a hoax, I highly recommend going there. A museum made of cheap replicas, suited for kids. Two stars as I got nice pictures and for the plane outside, but highly disappointed, highly expensive tickets and no real experience. Im not sure why would smithsonian museums go this level, they had great museums in DC.

It was amazing to walk through the shuttle and the airplane. I remember seeing it fly into Dallas as a child. So much cooler to walk through it in person. There is an elevator for those needing it. It is four flights of stairs. There are activities and information in the plane that are fun for kids and interesting for adults.

Wonderful place

Houston Space Center and NASA is a MUST SEE!! Period. At this point in my 66 years of life, this the best tourist attraction/knowledge trip ever. I will go back.

Nice place to visit with your kids. Fun & educational.One of the best places to visit around the Houston area. This place is located near the Space Center Houston building. There are some fun activities for children and lots of artifacts to see. If someone needs, there is an elevator.In Independence Plaza, the exhibit complex will allow visitors access a space shuttle replica named Independence, as well as the first shuttle carrier aircraft, NASA 905, outside of the space center.The eight-story, multiple-exhibit complex will showcase the flight deck, middeck and payload bay of both aircrafts.

Awesome thanks

This is spectacular!!!! Great for any age.

Amazing place for the young and old.

An amazing facility with so many interesting and truly mind blowing exhibits. I’d suggest taking the 90 minute tram tour—you’ll get to see extra great things at no additional cost!

Amazing destinationTake a cap when visiting in summer

Very fun to go inside the shuttle and modified 747

Learned alot so cool

This was awesome

Had a fantastic time at the Space Centre. A great place for a family day out with so much to see and do. Would definitely recommend.

Awesome adventure if youre into space and the space program

Awesome experience. Must see if at NASA

Great place to go and learn about the history of space travel and all the struggles and challenges NASA had to overcome to make space exploration possible. The place its filled with attractions and educational shows. Really nice

The displays are really excellent. Very fun and informative. It is self guided which has its pros and cons. The pros are that you can move at your own pace, see only what you want to, and have the freedom to bounce around different exhibits. The cons are that there is absolutely no flow to it at all. You have people coming at you from all sides and you get that constant crowded, in the way feeling. Some of the exhibits are really tight on space and you will be shoulder to shoulder in some of them, and get that being rushed along feeling. Overall it was a great experience that I would recommend.

When you are in Houston, better visit the Houston Space centre. Come early and finish off the tram tour at the earliest possible or else you would end up stranded on queue for more than 30-45minutes. Once you are done with that go for other interesting and informative stuffs around. If you are a first timer you would definitely enjoy the tour and if you have visited other space centers in US this might turn into a mediocre one.

Really great place to visit, very interesting!

Wonderful use of space and retired planes. Would have loved to flip a few switches on eirher.Cool.

Decent, its very cool to see all these things and I personally was very interested in the exhibit. I felt the price was too steep for what was offered, though; and the giftshop was certainly much too expensive.

Great place for young and old to enjoy!

Absolutely wonderful and engaging display! Be sure to visit as party of your entry into Space Center Houston!

World class museum with the most important subject: mans curiosity and venture into space. Great static exhibits which detail the missions and the spacecraft, as well as the science behind it all. Also a tourable exhibit of the space shuttle and the 747 which transported it.

Outstanding museum and space centre experience!

Spacetacular place, too great and exciting to learn about our history. And the space

I went to Kennedy Space Center when the Independence was the Discovery at Kennedy Space Center. Now she sits on top of one of the planes that used to Ferry the shuttles back and forth across the country. Its such an amazing place for adults and for Kids. I cant wait for my next trip to Texas so I can visit this place again.

Space Center Houston is a unique place that offers something for all ages. Enjoyed it so much we came back and got a membership. Opportunities to experience the glory of American ingenuity!

Walk through on the space shuttle is great. Really puts things in perspective. Love the display on how they got it back to Houston on the Boeing.

Better than it was in the 90s and early 2000s, but sad that the underwater neutral buoyancy simulator is no longer on the tour (a bigger one was built about 4 miles away). Still a fascinating capsule of U.S. manned space flight!

Great views and a piece of hisirty awsume. Friendly staff.

Very fun and informative, makes learning about the space stations easy and fun!

Great place to spend the day. Lots to do for the kids and interesting exhibits for the adults. Make sure to go see the Saturn V rocket.

This is amazing to get to go into the very shuttle and airplane. The tour that lasted 2 hours was also terrific.

Its ok for what it shows.. was expecting more to see. The staff are really passionate about the work and its infectious.

Was the most awe inspiring tribute to (wo)mans ability to rise above our our humanity. Everything was well done. Dont miss the tram tour to see the Saturn 5

We loved the space center! especially being able to go onboard the space shuttle Independence! It was an exceptional time!!!

The JSC is a great place to visit with loads of attractions and things to do. There are some sizeable lines (up to an hour wait) for some of the exhibits but the wait is certainly worth it.Large gift shop and cafe with multiple options. There is also ample car parking available on site.

The plane is amazing. Very interesting.

Great place for kids. We have lived in Texas many years and have never been to the space center. Make sure to look for discount tickets and get there early!

It is a very cool place but after a couple of visits things get old. They need to switch up the intractable thing in there

Has an awesome replica space shuttle you can go inside, as well as the original 747 that uses to carry the space shuttle.

Was impressed that you can go inside not only the airplane but the space shuttle as well!

Great place to take the kids, friendly staff.

Everyone in Houston was so upset when NASA did not choose to place an actual shuttle at Space Center Houston or Johnson Space Center. Houston got a trainer model and I think they should be happy. What an awesome feeling to stand inside and let your imagination take you to outer space. This is worth the price of admission.

Truly amazing. Such detail. Very interactive. Tons of multimedia presentations. Very well done.

Great exhibit. Self guided and very informative. Shuttle is an HD simulation and the real Boeing 747 (NASA 905).

The space shuttle Independence is a replica and never went into space. While it is cool to see, it is also a major let down when you find out it is not real.

Cool place to take your kids to learn about space exploration.

Nice

Very interesting. About the same as Kennedy space center in Florida.

Great family fun! Kids loved it.

A must-see attraction when visiting Houston. Book a tour with Allstar Transportation limousine and touring service for transport from Houston and get guided tour through NASA.

Very nice place

Verry educational and appealing to someone with an eye for science and engineering

The established marvel of human excellence is amazing!

A must for anybody interested in science and space! Spectacular!!!

Not worth the price of admission, wait time on the only tram rides is ridiculous during the weekday, could not imagine the weekend wait times. Save your money. The exhibits inside are ok at best.

So much fun

Fun for the whole family and a great way of presenting history.

Shuttle transportation on top of a plane is amazing! Nice place to visit with your kids!

Nice place for kids

Great place to visit and bring kids

Enjoyed this, it was amazing to see the size of the rockets and how small the actual capsules were that the astronaut were in.

Awesome place to spin time with your love ones

Great for children of all ages and for those interested in astronomy.

Awesome place for space geeks. A lot to see as 4.5 hours was not enough.

More for kids, then adults. Not very well organized. Tram ride was supposed to be hour and half, was two hours and fifteen minutes. They claimed had a break down that caused it, but we were third shuttle of the day.

Great for children and space buffs not so much for teens.

Great place for family

Great place

Very nice place. I liked very much.

Amazing to be able to walk inside a shuttle

Great place to visit!

A nice place for a family event
