Do I need to print my ticket?

No. Your mobile ticket can be scanned directly from your phone. A screenshot is a sensible backup in case of connectivity issues.

Is the NASA Tram Tour included in the ticket price?

Access to the tram tour is included with admission, but boarding passes may be issued on the day and availability is not guaranteed. The tour is popular, so arriving early gives you the best chance of securing a spot.

What is the child ticket policy?

Children under 4 years old enter free of charge. Children aged 4 to 11 require a child ticket, which must be selected when booking.

Can I bring a large bag or suitcase?

Large bags, suitcases and oversized luggage are not permitted inside the facility. All bags are subject to security screening at the entrance.

Is Space Center Houston accessible for wheelchair users?

Service animals are permitted inside the centre. For specific accessibility requirements — including wheelchair access to tram tours and exhibitions — it is worth contacting Space Center Houston directly before your visit.

What time should I arrive?

Your ticket is timed for a specific entry window, so plan to arrive at your selected time. Building in a few extra minutes for bag screening is advisable.
