Space Center Houston features many awesome NASA exhibits including a space shuttle mock-up aboard the shuttle carrier called Independence Plaza and tours of Rocket Park, historical Apollo Mission Control and the Building 9 Mock-up facility.
There’s so much to see! Besides the beautiful main lake (with paddle boats!) and overlook plaza, you can check out the McGovern Centennial Garden, Japanese Garden, and Miller Outdoor Theatre, free of charge. The Houston Zoo is also at Hermann Park, as well as a driving range and full golf course.
