Houston | The Latest and Most Comprehensive Guide

🇺🇸 NASA is definitely a must-visit attraction in Houston, especially for families with boys—little boys will be so amazed by the huge rockets and spacecraft that they won’t be able to take their eyes off them!🌸 📍 Address: 1601 E NASA Pkwy. If driving, use Google Maps to navigate to "Space Center Houston"—don’t navigate to the work area, as you’ll be asked to turn back to the Space Center. ⏰ Hours: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM. It opens at 9:00 AM during holidays. 🍣🍣 It’s recommended to check the official website for the opening hours of your intended visit date.🍎🍎 💰 Ticket Prices: The price for General Admission is 💲29.95 per person, and General Admission + Mission Control Tour is 💲44.95 per person. 🌴 🦋🦋There are three tours at the Space Center, one of which—the Mission Control Tour—requires an additional fee. You need to select your preferred tour time when purchasing the ticket.🌈 🗺️ Visiting Route: In total, the Space Center has three tram tour routes + two major static exhibition spaces.😊😊 🛺 First, the three Tram Tours are: 1️⃣ Rocket Park Tour: Included in the ticket; just wait in line for the shuttle. It features the Saturn V rocket—one of only three remaining in the world. The walls have historical introductions to the Apollo Moon Landing Program.🍐🎼 2️⃣ Training Facility Tour: Included in the ticket; reservations and a boarding pass are required, and you need to line up for the tram at the scheduled time. 🌳🌳 🍚🍚It’s recommended to go here first upon arrival—get the boarding pass at Guest Services on the right side of the entrance. This area allows you to watch real astronauts undergo mission training, and you may also see some engineers at work.👀 3️⃣ Mission Control Tour: Requires a separate ticket (the combo ticket of admission + Mission Control Tour mentioned earlier).💞 Here, the command room scene where Armstrong first landed on the moon aboard Apollo 11 is recreated—it’s incredibly stunning.🎉 🏫 The two major static exhibition spaces are: 1️⃣ Indoor Main Plaza: You can visit this between the three tours.✨ 🌈It has a theater, an astronaut gallery, a Mars program area, and various interactive installations for the International Space Station and spacecraft.🌷 2️⃣ Outdoor Independence Plaza: It displays the original NASA 905 space shuttle. Visitors can enter the shuttle interior, which has interactive installations and exhibits showing the astronauts’ living quarters. ☀️☀️ This is where you get off the tram after returning from Rocket Park, so you can visit it directly. 🍟 Dining: There is a restaurant inside the Space Center selling American fast food—the salad is quite tasty. A few minutes’ drive from the scenic area, there’s a McDonald’s with an astronaut holding French fries at the entrance—be sure to stop by for🌻 #NASA #HoustonSpaceCenter #Thanksgiving #Houston #USATravel #ChristmasVacation #FamilyFriendlySpots #InstagrammablePlaces #HoustonRockets
