    Worth a Visit!
    We took advantage of the white tram ride and enjoyed the visit to Mission Control. The only negative is that NONE of the experience is planned to assist individuals with hearing impairment. It would be very simple to use whisper head sets for select individuals or provide captioning on the tram monitors for the tram talking. Similarly, inside Mission Control no accommodation is made for individuals needing hearing assistance. Hmm, also the movie in the main area (which is excellent) was not captioned either! NASA - you can do better with accommodations! In the afternoon, we participated on the VIP astronaut training tour. This was fantastic and although steep in price, worth the unique experience. Alice was a superb guide... has incredible knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject. 10 star on this portion of the trip.

    Must see in Houston
    Maybe its because I have lived long enough to remember everything I saw but it is an amazing experience. Storting with an actual 747 with a space shuttle mounted to the top as you enter - breathtaking. Educational, informative, interactive and fascinating. Make sure you take the red shuttle to see the Saturn V rocket. To do this you must get a boarding pass while you are there - free but limited.

    Great Introduction to Houston
    Our driver tour guide Izzy did a great job. He was so welcoming and full of information and historical facts. He was willing to take our photos at the different stops. The van was easy to find and I felt like a VIP.

    Best tour of Houston!
    We have visited family in Houston a number of times but never took a tour. We are so glad we did and learned so much about Houston and can appreciate the city more. Israel was fabulous as a tour guide and his knowledge and love of Houston was evident. We actually did more and saw more in three hours then our family has done in two years! Thank you for a wonderful experience and we highly recommend even for those that live and work in Houston.

    Amazing experience.
    Alex from Fun Dallas Tours made my tour tour on Friday 10.8.21 fun as the name of his company suggests and also very memorable. It was a quiet day and there was only another couple and myself on the tour but Alex put his heart and soul into making sure he delivered a level 10 experience despite the fact that there were only three of us on the tour.

Besides the NASA Space Center itself, if you are there on a clear night, and you drive towards the Galveston and the Gulf of Mexico on a clear night when the full moon is rising, it will rise right in front of you as you head along the highway.
(I went before the choices listed on Trip Advisor's "When did you go", but the full moon happens every month.)
