For outer space enthusiasts young and old, there might not be a greater experience than visiting Space Center Houston. Since 1992, Space Center Houston has been one of the top attractions in the city, drawing more than 16 million visitors to its unique, educational complex.
This fun-filled attraction makes learning about space fun and realistic through its 250 space artifacts, state-of-the-art theaters, and interactive exhibits that offer a way to experience the thrill of outer space. There are a number of permanent and traveling exhibits scattered throughout the 183,000-square-foot facility, including a full-scale replica of a real space shuttle and the "Living in Space" exhibit, which offers a glimpse of life on the International Space Station.
