I cannot recommend this family-run tour guide business enough! From start to finish, the tour was exceptional. We had the pleasure of visiting NASA, and the knowledge, passion, and personal touch of our guide made it feel like we were touring with a friend who genuinely cared about sharing Houston with us. The family atmosphere was evident from the very beginning, as the guide took the time to engage with our and shared insider knowledge that you simply wouldn't get from a generic tour.

Indescribable Everything is very informative for young and old and you can easily spend a whole day here. You learn a lot about the moon landings and the activities in space. There are additional tours that are offered, for these you should get an extra timer so you can see the training center. You should get tickets in advance to avoid any queues, and there is an additional $10 for parking.
