NASA is one of the top attractions in Houston. If you come here expecting to learn a lot on space exploration, you'll probably be disappointed. It's primarily just a place for kids to play. There is a 90 minute tram tour, where you may learn a few things. There are two different tram tours(the red tram or the blue tram), and they will take you to different parts of NASA. One goes to the historic "Mission Control" area, and the other goes to the Astronaut training facility. We didn't see Mission Control, but the astronaut training facility wasn't that great. There wasn't anything going on at the time we were there, and we had to see everything from behind glass several floors up.
Once the tour is over, you are taken back to main building, which is almost entirely made up of attractions for kids. So I'd say if you have kids, take them. They'll love it. If not, save yourself the $19.95 (or $25 if you choose the "audio guide).

Nice to hear that you had a safe, fun trip. I can't recall your blogs ever mentioning conspiracy theories. As you probably know, some doubt exists regarding the Moon Landings. Is this something you could post on in the future to get a few ideas rolling? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI believe the moon landings were real. There seems to be enough evidence to prove it. I'm not a big conspiracy theorist. The only conspiracy that I truly believe is the Kennedy assassination. If you check out my blog on Dallas, I think I go into that a little bit.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think they would do something special for the anniversary.
