Worth the journey
5*
To get to the Space Center we had to use public transport from downtown Houston. Despite the Space Center being a main attraction there is a very infrequent bus service to the location, however this must be because demand is low as the bus wasn't actually that full. We got the 249 which took about 1 hour and was very cheap; just $1.25 each, one-way.
We bought tickets for the attraction online to avoid any queues but also because you can generally find a discount of around 5-10% online so it is worth a look. We walked straight in without a problem and were greeted by a large exhibition hall. There was so much to do here that we could've spent half a day just looking around, this included talks and shows. We visited the Cinema show which was good and got pictures with the lectern used in JFK'S infamous "We choose to go to the moon" speech. We didn't have anytime to eat anything at the food court which was in the main area as there was so much else to do.
We went on the tram tour which was a highlight. Despite having to wait about 45 minutes to board it was certainly worth it as the tour is highly detailed and you get to see awesome locations like Mission Control. We stayed all day right until closing and then got the last bus back.
