Love the vast unknown of space? Learn a little more about our incredible universe with your family at Space Center Houston. Less than an hour from Houston in Clear Lake, the space center is home to some rare pieces of space history!
Children will learn about the space voyages, Astronaut training, living in space, and space science, all from personal briefings, hands-on exhibits, demonstrations, and videos. There are countless activities and exhibits geared towards your budding space explorer. You can even have lunch with an Astronaut– there’s something to learn around every corner!
There are also amazing relics and replicas to admire, like the Space Shuttle parked outside the center. Built by shuttle contractors using NASA guidelines, it has the complete look and feel of a real space ship. They also have the Rice University podium where President Kennedy first announced the U.S.’s goal to land on the moon.
If you’re really set on getting the full experience, and the kids are a little older, the Level 9 tour is a four to five hour guide through NASA sites and ISS Mission Control.
