NASA SPACE CENTER HOUSTON TX TICKETS FULL
I’d gotten a sneak peek of the lights because I drive by them every day when I arrive and leave my work at the space center, but it was still super fun to see them in their full glory at night. There is a solar system, International Space Station, SLS rocket launch, Apollo astronaut and buggy, first man on the moon and other miscellaneous astronauts – all made of lights. There are rockets that always live at Rocket Park, like the modules and rockets from Gemini and Apollo missions, but there are is also a giant archway of lights and astronauts made of lights. Outside of the hangar is where the majority of the large light installations reside. For the lights festival, SCH put a black light, galaxy projections and other miscellaneous space-y lights. Inside is also Apollo memorabilia and posters. Inside the hangar, there was a short sequence of animations projected onto the side of the rocket that showed a boy and his robot dog in space – it was really cute! When you drive to the hangar, you can see a giant Saturn V along the outside, which was really cool and probably my favorite light installation. There are only three rockets left in the entire world, and they are all unused extra rockets. Rocket Park hosts the gigantic Saturn V rocket inside the hangar, which were used during the Apollo launches to the Moon. It’s a quick 5 minute tram ride that takes you through several Christmas light tunnels while Christmas music plays. Visitors take the tram from SCH across the street to Rocket Park, which is located just inside the space center. The main attraction for Galaxy Lights is, of course, the outdoor lights. There are also stations where you can create and name your own light display, which was really fun. There are still your favorite SCH attractions, like the giant International Space Station, kid play center, simulations, space suits and Mars activities, but there are Christmas light attractions and loud Christmas music.Įvery 15-30 minutes or so, there is a light show with a large light display on the ceiling. Once you get through security and go inside, SCH transformed from space… to Christmas in space. When you arrive, there is a giant (fake) Christmas tree in front of the building.
NASA SPACE CENTER HOUSTON TX TICKETS FREE
Unfortunately, tickets for space center employees were not discounted (even though we normally get free admission to SCH). Tickets are $20 for adults, and children 3 and younger are free. The festival opened on November 16 and will be running until January 5, 2020, from 6 to 10pm. This year was either the first or second year that SCH hosted a Christmas festival of lights (I’m pretty sure that this was the first year). Space Center Houston (SCH) is the visitor center for NASA’s Johnson Space Center, located in Clear Lake, Texas (south of Houston).
Galaxy Lights at Space Center Houston was exactly what you would expect: space crossed with Christmas, and it was absolutely amazing.
