Steve’s take

NASA Johnson Space Center's official visitor complex — Apollo 17 command module, Mercury 9 capsule, Skylab trainer, a moon rock you can touch, and the tram tour of Mission Control and the astronaut training facility next door. A full day. NASA Pkwy off I-45 between Houston and Galveston. If you're driving to Universal and your kids love space, this is a perfect first-leg stop.
