Free art center on a hot Houston day? Perfect! Parking for the Center was such a breeze with free…read moreparking in front. Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who explained the main exhibition and the rest of the center to us. There are great pieces of work from jewelry to pottery and more for sale by the resident artists. It was fun looking into the working studios and one of the artist invited us in and spoke to us about her work, inspirations, and previous studios. This perhaps was my favorite part of the visit. The space is not very big so it's perfect for a 1-2 hour visit. There's a pretty garden outside with picnic tables where you can enjoy a packed lunch.

Pricing for the museum is $24. There are several garages in the area to park at and parking is charged a hourly rate. Unfortunately I was short on time but was able to visit the Frida collection, Aztec civilization, and Islamic Art collections. All of the art work was unique. The Frida collection was extremely popular and that's where most of the museums visitors spent their time. Overall I really enjoyed my experience here and wish I had more time to explore. They do have several dining options at the museum including a Michelin star French restaurant, Le Jardinier. The menu looks great and looks like they had a lunch 2 course option there for $45.

There were plenty of amazing exhibits to see in the free galleries, and parking was only $10.

Whether you're into art, history, or just looking for something fun to do, this is definitely a great way to spend a Thursday. Highly recommend checking it out!

Overall, the museum was pretty neat and informational. I was expecting more exhibits and artifacts,…read morebut the museum is largely video media based. There were a handful of theatres for guests to sit in and experience various historical moments pertaining to space exploration. We only watched "Moon Walkers" narrated by Tom Hanks. Independence Plaza: A quick walk from the Space Center Museum. It is about 3-4 stories high with exhibits inside of it (air conditioned). A lot of the tram tours are a first come first served basis. We didn't go to all the tram stops (complimentary with your ticket), but we did stop at George W.S. Abbey Rocket Park Tour. It was cool to see! Parking: The parking is charged separately on top of the tickets.

Other things you should know about the Space Center: -It's a huge campus, and the museum itself is only a small portion. -My wife went 15 years ago, and it's gotten a LOT better apparently. So if you haven't been in a decade or more, give it another shot. -They don't have much pertaining to the recent Artemis mission. We went as the astronauts were heading around the moon, but we didn't see any current info. -It's great for kids, especially over the age of six or so. -You should book some tours in advance. By the time we got up there, most things were sold out except Rocket Park. -Rocket Park is still cool. The sheer size of the Saturn is incredible. Take the little trolley and say hi to the longhorns. -The Food Lab (the food court) is hit or miss. The salad bar was surprisingly great, and the pizza is abysmal. DO NOT GET THE PIZZA. -You should go in with an open mind, ready to learn. That goes for everything, not just the Space Center. -You know where astronauts hang out? At the space bar. (This joke works better with a drawing of an astronaut passed out on a keyboard.)

I really loved learning about different cultures and especially the Ghanaian fantasy coffins! I had never heard of this before. The display of hearses over the years were fascinating and gorgeous. There's many photo opportunities (they're marked for you too) and lots to learn! Make sure to give yourself a few hours to soak it all in.
