Don’t miss Space Center Houston’s NASA Tram Tours. This is your chance to go on site at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) and get an up-close look at human space exploration.
Located on 1,600 acres, JSC is the training base for NASA astronauts and the site of Mission Control, where a Houston-based team supports the work of our women and men in space.
To visit Historic Mission Control, reserve a timed boarding pass in advance while purchasing your general admission ticket.
Astronaut Training Facility and Rocket Park Tram Tours are included in your general admission ticket and require a same-day reservation. When you arrive, download our app to reserve your spot.
Members receive a 50% discount on the Historic Mission Control Tram Tour! Discounted tickets are limited to the number of admissions of your membership level.
