“Intelligent fun” defines the way groups describe their Space Center Houston experience - a day when they’ve gone inside a shuttle carrier aircraft, explored NASA Johnson Space Center, seen flown spacecraft and more. We discount the price, not the experience!

With more than 400 things to see and do, including a variety of ever changing experiences, Space Center Houston is a must-do group destination. We invite you to discover space exploration through its exciting present, its dramatic history, and its compelling future.
