Of all the things to see in Houston, the Astrodome, or the "Eighth Wonder of the World," is the must-see. Guided tours are available at 11am, 1pm and 3pm on Tuesday through Saturday of every week. Not only will you experience the wonder of the stadium itself, you will see first-hand all the amenities that were included when the dome was built in 1965. Tour the museum, hotel rooms and a bowling alley as well as other special features.

Space technology junkies, especially those who experienced first-hand the wonder and thrill of America's first moon landing, will definitely want to visit Johnson Space Center. Many self-guided activities are available at the center, but the biggest thrill is the guided tour of some of the complex's original buildings and technology. Ride a tram to various buildings that house life-size segments of original Apollo rockets, a life-size shuttle mock-up, training facilities and the original mission control room that was in use during all the Apollo missions. Sit in the same viewing chamber that reporters and spouses of Apollo astronauts sat in during mission broadcasts. The entire experience is amazing.
