Have a blast at the Space Center Houston, where future spacecraft engineers, designers, rocket scientists and budding astronauts can explore to their hearts content and learn that their dreams can become their reality. Stroll through the space center and check out the exhibits, attractions, special presentations, and hands-on activities to learn about NASA's manned space flight program. You can also watch astronauts train for missions, touch a real moon rock and take a behind-the-scenes tour of NASA.
Catch one of your favorite musicians or bands at the Arena Theater, a legend in Houston's music scene. As one of Houston's oldest concert venues, the Arena Theatre is notable for its arena-in-the-round style and excellent acoustics that have showcased such legendary and notable performers as Willie Nelson, BB King, Tom Jones, Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, Clint Black, and Huey Lewis and the News. The intimate setting feels more like a private event than a concert venue. All seats are less than 60 feet from the stage, giving you the feeling that you are part of the show, not just a spectator. The stage revolves, too, so every seat in the house is an excellent one.
