Q&A
A: There’s no specific age limit for the Houston and Space Center tour! Kids are usually welcome, and it's a great experience for all ages. Just make sure your nephew is able to sit through the tour, as it lasts around 7 hours including travel. It could be a fun and educational day for him!
A: If the weather is really bad, they will usually offer to reschedule your tour. Just make sure to call the provider ahead of time if conditions look questionable. The tour is primarily outdoors, so they keep safety in mind. Most of the time, if it’s just a little drizzle, they'll still go ahead but you may want to dress accordingly!
A: Yes, parking is pretty straightforward at the Space Center. There’s a large lot, and it’s free! Just get there a bit early if you want to grab a good spot. The tour also picks up from there, so you won’t have to worry about long walks. The shuttle buses are pretty frequent.
