About Houston


Even if you know nothing else about the city, you’d know about the connection between Houston and space stations. However, the city has a lot to offer on Earth, too, including unique attractions, such as the Livestock Show taking place every year and shopping malls.

Want to know how Neil Armstrong felt when he completed his mission? Head over to the Space Center Houston, where you can walk through a replica model of American’s first-ever space station.

The Johnson Space Center is where mission control happens, and visitors can get a gist of how astronauts train to go into space. Meanwhile, the Rocket Park displays a number of actual rockets.

Another attraction in Houston is the Houston's Museum District, with 19 museums, including the Children’s Museum of Houston and the Museum of Fine Arts.
