Hi Melanie,

The studio is at 2500 Summer St Houston, TX 77246. There is not a formal tour or anything of that sort, but the gate is always open during regular hours and you can go inside the studio space and the yard to see the various sculptures. It's quite an experience!

Hi Sandii,

What else are you interested in seeing while you're in town? Here is a list of things to do with the kids, here is a list of kid friendly restaurants and we also have a 3 day itinerary and a 5 day itinerary for ideas.  I'd also encourage you to look into a Houston CityPASS - the pass will get you into all the top attractions at a 45% savings (including Space Center Houston)!

Both the Galleria and Downtown will be a bit of a drive down to Space Center Houston, but are close to other attractions in town.  It just depends what else you are interested in doing while you're here. 

Hope this helps,

Veronica

Hi Marco,

Unfortunately, you're coming to town while the Houston Astros are away playing the Pittsburgh Pirates. If you were to get into town a day earlier Sept. 2, you could catch a home game against the Cinncinati Reds. Click here to see their schedule. The Houston Texas are playing on Sept. 9 (a day after you say you're departing) against the Miami Dolphins at home. So suffice is to say, if  you come a day earlier or a day later, you can catch one of these games! 

 
If you need more information about Space Center, click here.

As for the outlets, there are two really good ones, Katy Mills Mall and Houston Premium Outlets. Katy Mills has a Saks Off 5th, Neiman Marcus Last Call, Coach and more. Houston Premium has great brands as well. I suggest you check out the store lineup for both on their websites and see which one you like best. They're both about a 30-45 minute drive. 

Hope this helps!

Hi Gabriella,

It's difficult to say which signs you would follow without being on the road, but I would suggest you use a map program like Google Maps to plot your drive.

Hi Karla,

Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything rodeo related going on in July. As you probably know, the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo happens in March each year but there aren't a lot of regular western events happening in the city. You can check out our cowboy itinerary though for suggestions to give your colleagues.

Hi Laurie,

You can take a Metro bus from Downtown to Space Center Houston. Use Metro's Trip Planner so you can enter in your date and time information as the specific times may change. If these times do not work out for you, you may also consider renting a car.

As far as good times to go, I would definitely suggest a weekday as the center tends to be a lot busier on weekends. Also I highly suggest you consider pre-booking a Level 9 Tour, which allows you to see a lot of the behind the scenes stuff at Johnson Space Center.

If you're looking for other attractions to occupy yourselves on your trip, check out our itineraries section, which is broken down by interest.

Hi Brandi,

Of course -

If you're looking for great outdoor photos, I'd recommend the below:

•  Hermann Park for photos by the lake and Japanese Gardens
• Mercer Arboretum has beautiful flowers and foliage that make great shots
• Bayou Bend Gardens provide several garden backdrops to capture the perfect shot
• Discovery Green for interesting and unique backgrounds

For inside photos, I'd recommend:

• Brennan's of Houston for their beautiful architecture and decor 
• Hotel Icon with their very vintage staircase

You may want to call ahead to Brennan's of Houston and Hotel Icon for dates/time - there may be fees involved as well.

Hope this helps,

Hi Nadine,

It is being broadcast on Fox Soccer Channel.  In Houston, that is channel 105 for Comcast and 654 for AT&T UVerse.

Enjoy,

Hi Allan,

Here is a link to our Events Calendar -  there are a ton of things going on today!

Events only happening today include The Legendary Art Car Ball, Pink at the Brown fundraiser for breast cancer, and the Houston Visitors Center Learn at Lunch: Egypt series.

Hope this helps,

Veronica

Hi Nadine,

You could take the bus and plan your route using Metro's Trip Planner to customize your schedule, or take a Taxi although this would be very expensive as it is approximately 55 miles between Space Center and the Outlets. 

For destinations within Loop 610 and the Galleria, The Wave Jitney Service is available as well.

Hope this helps,

Veronica
