Space Center Houston

Space Center Houston combines flown spacecraft and hands-on space history with departure points for NASA campus tours. A half-day visit allows more than a quick pass through the galleries.

Why go

Starship Gallery brings the scale of spaceflight close through Apollo 17’s command module America, a full-size Skylab trainer and a Moon rock visitors can touch. These objects offer a worthwhile visit in their own right; NASA tram tours add access to selected working-campus sites through a different experience.

What to look for

  • Apollo 17 command module America returned from the Moon.
  • The full-size Skylab trainer shows the scale of life aboard a space station.
  • A Moon rock can be touched in Starship Gallery.

Useful to know

  • Plan around four hours for a half-day visit; a wider selection can fill a day.
  • Choose your NASA tram experience early; Historic Mission Control is separate from ordinary general admission.
  • Check the dated calendar for your visit, keeping evening Galaxy Lights separate from daytime admission.
