Space Center In Houston

Posted on 01. Dec, 2009 by admin in USA

If you have kids that are aspiring astronauts, or just like space, science or American history, the Space Center in Houston is a must see for you and your family. The Space Center is a legendary landmark that is a memorable experience for learning and fun.

But your kids won’t be the only ones entertained and busy. While children of all ages can learn about space and the exploration of space, and spend all their time in the Kids Space Place, you can get a behind the scenes look at the NASA tram tour. This shows the historic mission control, and space exploration programs such as the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions. Hanger X also has some astronaut training facilities you can take a look at, and you might even see a real astronaut there training.

There are plenty of hands on activities that are specifically for kids, and encourage them to learn more about science, space and the importance of exploration.

There is also an Astronaut Gallery which has educational information on missions, and real space suits on display. There is also a memorial for those who died on actual missions like Challenger, Apollo and Columbia.
