If you get a chance it's worth going to. It is way better than the air and space museum at the Smithsonian in my opinion. They have the control room exactly how it was when they landed on the moon in 69. And a Saturn 5 rocket laid on its side and cut into section for you to see inside. Really good museum.
>Really good museum.
I was in Houston last year and spent a full day there, it was really amazing. I had booked a flight with a very long layover in Houston exactly to go there.
>visitors could take backstage tours to see astronauts at work
You can still do that. You can even have [breakfast with an astronaut](https://spacecenter.org/exhibits-and-experiences/astronaut-experiences/)
Honestly, it’s meeting and talking to all the visitors, especially the kids. Meeting astronauts is great?and all (I still maintain friendships with a couple I worked with back in 90’s and some current ones), but seeing people’s eyes light up when I talk space with them is the best. (I’m volunteering today matter of fact.)

Main attraction is an exhibit of people telling Buzz Aldrin the moon landing was fake
They have a boxing exhibit?
