NASA Insider Guided Experience & Historic Mission Control Tram

About this activity

Make your NASA visit one you’ll be talking about long after you leave Houston. Meet your NASA Expert Guide right at Space Center Houston and let someone who truly knows the place show you how to make the most of your day. With so much to see, having an expert who knows where to go, what not to miss, and how to manage your time can make all the difference. Your guide will help you navigate the Space Center, share fascinating stories and little-known details, and make sure you spend your time experiencing NASA—not wondering what to do next.

Then take your visit to another level with the Historic Mission Control tram tour, where you’ll step inside the legendary rooms where Apollo missions—including Apollo 11—were guided and history was made.

If you really want to experience Space Center Houston from top to bottom, Mission Control is a must—and having a NASA Expert by your side makes the whole experience that much better.
