We’re honoring the educators who light the way. On this special night, educators with a valid school ID receive a complimentary ticket to Galaxy Lights, presented by Wellby Financial!

What to Expect

Take a well-earned break and enjoy Space Center Houston after dark as the campus shines with immersive light installations, festive music, and space-themed displays. Bring your colleagues, grab a warm drink, and experience Houston’s brightest holiday traditions!

As a thank-you for the work you do every day, the first 100 educators receive a festive giveaway from our partners at Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers!

Enjoy other activities happening during the evening:

  • Participate in a scavenger hunt around Galaxy Lights, sponsored Wellby Financial
  • Sip soda samples from Pepsi as you traverse a universe of lights
  • Grab beer samples from Starbase Brewing in the lounge
  • Snap holiday pics for out-of-this-world memories
  • Taste and savor festive drinks and treats as you stroll
  • Check off names from your holiday shopping list with space-inspired gifts

This event is included with general admission for Galaxy Lights on Friday, December 19. Educators may redeem their complimentary admission by visiting the Space Center Houston Ticket Booth upon arrival and showing a valid school ID.
