Johnson Space Center
The Johnson Space center named after, president Lyndon B. Johnson is a wonderful place to visit while in Houston. They have a variety of different attractions including the NASA tour, the feel of space, and the space museum.
The NASA tour is the main attraction and takes you around the grounds and takes you to several buildings including historic mission control and the room that houses a full size replica of the space shuttle and the international space station. This is definite must see attraction while in Houston!
When I visited this was not available to see but the tour guide told me that during special times they also offer a tour of their underwater training facility. If you have the opportunity that would be an awesome sight to see.
