This is amazing experience which does such a great job of explaining the exploration of space both historically and looking forward to the future. Everything is so well done and the price is reasonable. Seeing exhibits like the impressive and massive Saturn V rocket and the space shuttle atop a Boeing 747 was great! We are an older couple and wish we had come here with our kids. This was the highlight of our trip to the Houston area.

Not a lot of old stuff to see ….definitely take the tram to see the rocket b/c that’s the only place they have actual parts / equipment to see. Glad to have seen it but was just b/c had free time. Not a “must see”.

Great experience, don’t bother with the campus tour very boring and you look at the exterior of buildings! Some bits are looking dated but lots of information given. The virtual reality ride was good and worth doing. Expensive gift shop so may be better to look elsewhere , on the whole well worth a visit and very child friendly.

There was more to do than we had time for. The virtual reality simulator was amazing! My friend and I reached for each other’s hand, at the same time. Not because it was scary, but because it was so thrilling! It is a must do!
