During the tour, watch NASA staff at work, see old and new Mission Control centers and be amazed by the Saturn V Rocket, the most powerful rocket ever built. Enjoy some leisurely free time to explore the exhibits in the Space Center Houston, opting to see Apollo 17 and a full-size replica of a space shuttle. Defy gravity in the interactive Living in Space gallery and revitalize with lunch in the NASA cafeteria if you wish (own expense). 

At a time prearranged with your guide, return to your comfortable vehicle for the journey back to Downtown Texas, where the tour concludes.

Sitting in the mission control room gave me the goose bumps, just listening to astronauts voices as they spoke to President Nixon when they landed on the moon in 1969.

The tour I actually took was ok and the driver was very nice and informed
Bill_M

Arrived at center for 9:00 AM tour. Received a phone call at 9:15 AM telling me that my tour had been canceled due to not enough people signed up for the tour. I am pretty sure that that was known long before 9:15 AM. Problem was it cost me $70.00 to get a ride from my hotel to the center. I was told I would receive a full refund for the tour. As of now have not seen that.

Too much Space
Robert_M
, May 2021
The total tour times was much too long. City tour did not have a lot of interesting sites. Space tour was not really a tour but van transportation to and from Space Center. The time allotted was close to double the needed time. Pick up was about 20 minutes late
