Space Center Houston’s official page announces the Home School Day for Friday, May 28, 2027, starting at 8 a.m.
The page says the calendar may change, so the date should be checked before visiting.
STEM activities and a stated price

To receive the event price, the ticket must be bought in advance: the stated price is $14.95, and sales close one week before the planned date.
Space Center Houston, a gateway to Johnson Space Center
Space Center Houston’s institutional presentation describes it as the “Gateway to NASA Johnson Space Center.” The site also presents itself as a place where visitors can immerse themselves in the past, present, and future of space exploration.
Space Center Houston’s visitor information page states that it is the official visitor center for NASA Johnson Space Center. This clarification explains the general setting in which Home School Days are promoted, without establishing the specific content of any given day.
NASA’s center at the heart of human activities in space
Johnson Space Center is located in Houston, Texas. NASA states that for more than half a century, the center has played a role in human exploration, discovery, and accomplishments associated with its programs.
According to NASA’s presentation, Johnson Space Center is home to the U.S. astronaut corps, the Mission Control Center, and human spaceflight programs related to the Moon, low Earth orbit, and the Orion spacecraft. This information describes the center’s institutional environment, not the Home School Days program.
Clearly identified scientific and technical fields
NASA presents human exploration, research, and commercial space among Johnson Space Center’s areas of focus. It also mentions facilities and laboratories dedicated, among other things, to space food, lunar samples, microbiology, mission control, and underwater training.
The Space Vehicle Mockup Facility is also among the facilities cited by NASA. Its mission includes flight crew training, real-time operations support, and engineering and operations assessments for the International Space Station and Orion.
A programme at Johnson Space Center
The announced programme includes the NASA Tram Tour at Johnson Space Center, a visit to Rocket Park and the Saturn V rocket, and a bronze statue dedicated to the Apollo 13 crew.
Visitors can also see the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and attend the Astronaut Mission Memories presentations at 11:30 a.m. and 1:20 p.m. in the Space Center Theater.
