I really enjoyed our visit to the Johnson Space Center. There is quite a bit to see and do here, so you may want to plane for all day or maybe two days (if you can). On one of the tours, you get to see the actual computers used during the moon landing and how they've grown to what NASA uses today. You can watch a live feed from the International Space Station (ISS) and actually watch the employees monitor it. They teach you about the training and schooling required to work there monitoring the space station (which is a lot more than I ever imagined). They have several exhibits and museums that teach about the history of space travel and see how the Astronauts train for space travel and living on the ISS. There are lots of games for the kids to play, a souvenir shop, and several exhibits other things to see and do. The only real major complaint I have is how an organization that can put a person on the moon cannot figure out how to better handle the crowds of people. We had to spend more money for their version of the "fast pass," just so we could see both tours in one day. We packed our own lunch, got their a few minutes after it opened and left when it was dark...and we still didn't see all of it. On the bright side though, parking is quite plentiful and free to the public. Hope you enjoy your visit!
