Space Center Houston

Having lived in Clear Lake for the last 23 years of my life, we've grown accustomed to everything having to do with NASA. For us locals, there really isn't anything that will draw us to the place anymore.
A few years ago, they made it more tourist friendly and built a whole complex, specifically targeting tourists with everything NASA related, right on the grounds of the Space Center. Without any coupons, it's fairly pricey to visit but I finally took Gage to the place two weeks ago.

It definitely has gotten a lot more kid friendly, with the types of exhibits, as well as a 3 story playhouse. It was actually a bit scary crawling along some of the passage ways but Gage spent most of the time in the playhouse (go figure!).

The picture below is of the rocket ship that anchored outside the playhouse, on the 3rd story, which is a bit unnerving.
