Cool Off at Space Center Houston

Space Center Houston is a great activity for families in greater Houston. Plus, it's inside so you'll escape the heat. Young visitors will enjoy the Kids Space Place, which serves as an indoor astronaut playground with lots of hands-on activities. Other astronauts-at-heart will love this place for the tram tours of the Johnson Space Center, interactive exhibits and more.

- Use your super strength to lift a real truck
- Develop incredible night vision
- Experience the magic of flight
- Develop catlike agility and reflexes
- Climb a giant wall like a spider

Allow five hours to take advantage of everything.
