Why visit Houston?

It’s Not Rocket Science…

Well, actually, it is. Or rather, it could be if you choose to visit Houston on a science school trip. That’s because this is ‘Space City’ – home to NASA’s Johnson Space Center and Space-U (its visitor centre).

That means that your young scientists can have a taste of rocket science, engineering and what it takes to become an astronaut. Pretty incredible stuff, right?

Get a Taste of Texas

Houston is in southeastern Texas, the famous Lone Star State. The second-largest state, Texas has a fascinating history and a rich history of immigration. And nowhere is this more apparent than in cosmopolitan Houston, which is a real melting pot of cultures.

And this means you won’t need to worry about your group going hungry on your school trip to Houston. There’s something to please everyone here (and the portions are always pretty hearty). From Tex-Mex to Asian fusion, Houston’s foodie scene boasts representatives from all over the world – delicious.
