Houston is a large metropolis in Texas

A City of Great Discovery, Houston offers tremendous contrasts with something for everyone, from protected wildlife preserves to the world’s richest rodeo; from prestigious arts institutions to the center of American manned space flight. One of the world’s greatest urban centers and the largest city in Texas as well as the fourth-largest city in the U.S., Houston has no match.

The world capital of the international energy industry, Houston is also home to the world’s largest medical center, a global nexus for life-changing innovations in medicine. Houston is one of the country’s premier visual and performing arts centers, a pioneer in multicultural arts and a leading showcase for contemporary commercial architecture. The city is also the headquarters for America’s manned space-flight effort and home to the two-time world-champion Houston Rockets with perhaps the greatest center of all time, Hakeem Olajuwon.

Space Center Houston serves as the visitors center for NASA and details the history of space flight with exhibits that allow touching a moon rock and landing the space shuttle. It’s a full day of fun and adventure for the entire family. Don’t miss the larger than life IMAX films. Tour NASA/Johnson Space Center and explore the exciting new Kids Space Place. All this and much more is free with admission.
