Space Center Houston

The Space Centre Houston is another famous tourist destination in Texas, and it's one of the greatest locations to visit, whether you're interested in space or not! It is within a 30-minute drive from downtown Houston.

There are so many exhibits at Space Centre Houston that you will be spoiled for choice. Moon rocks, artifacts from Mercury and Apollo flights, and informational nuggets tell you everything you need to know about NASA's projects and missions and the history and purpose of space exploration.

You may visit a real Saturn V rocket, learn about space life, dress up like an astronaut, and watch shows. This is an excellent site to learn about space exploration, future missions, NASA's most recent projects, and perhaps even meet an astronaut.

Most importantly, Space Centre Houston is home to NASA's own Mission Control. This is where NASA monitors its space exploration and flights.
