Know before you go

• The Independence Plaza shuttle-on-747 exhibit is the signature photo and lets visitors inside both vehicles.
• Tram tours sell out on busy days — take the first available tram and visit galleries after.
• Lunch options on-site are limited; many school groups bring boxed lunches.

Tips for group trips

• About 25 miles southeast of downtown — budget 40–55 minutes by bus; it's a half-day commitment minimum.
• The NASA tram tour has limited daily capacity — book group tickets early and arrive at opening for the first trams.
• Ample parking including oversize vehicles — one of the easiest major attractions for buses in Houston.
