Historic Mission Control

Historic Mission Control Tram Tours

Access Member Timed Tickets for Historic Mission Control Tram Tours here.

Historic Mission Control Tram Tours require tickets available for purchase to all guests. Members receive a 50% discount!

We encourage members to purchase or reserve NASA Tram Tour tickets ahead of your visit to ensure availability.

*Abuse of the timed ticketing system includes and is not limited to commercial use and the sale of tours. As noted in the terms and conditions of membership, evidence that the benefits and privileges of membership are being abused, in particular online timed ticketing, is grounds for revocation of the membership and all associated benefits without refund. Space Center Houston is testing this new method of ‘member priority boarding.’ Priority boarding benefits all members so long as the system is used only as intended.

*Unless otherwise noted, all benefits are limited to the number of admissions of your membership level.
