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.

This is the facility where NASA monitored nine Gemini and all Apollo lunar missions, including the historic Apollo 11 trip to the Moon and the final Apollo 17 trip to the same lunar body. It is located in Building 30 of NASA Johnson Space Center. In fact, from this room, the NASA team exercised full mission control of Apollo 11 from launch at the Kennedy Space Center to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. You can feel the history in the room from the monitors to the rotary dials. The Gemini and Apollo space programs were only the beginning for mission control; it has been the center for all communications between Earth and our human spaceflight missions.
