Space Center Houston Admission Ticket

About This Experience

Step inside NASA's official visitor center with a timed-entry admission ticket that unlocks more than 400 space artifacts across permanent and traveling exhibits. Explore the past and future of America's human spaceflight program at your own pace — from the Apollo-era capsules of the Starship Gallery to the forward-looking Mission Mars gallery — all for one admission price.

See the world's largest collection of moon rocks and lunar samples on public display, and put your hand on a genuine lunar touchstone. Board the space shuttle replica Independence at Independence Plaza, mounted atop the original NASA 905 shuttle carrier aircraft, and walk beneath the SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage displayed outside — the same type of rocket that returned astronaut launches to American soil.

Your ticket also includes the NASA Tram Tour (subject to availability), the only way for the public to ride onto the working Johnson Space Center campus. Seats are first-come, first-served, so pick up a boarding pass as soon as you arrive to reach Rocket Park and its towering Saturn V rocket.
