This Unique Camping Opportunity In Texas Lets You Sleep Under A Boeing 747

We all love learning about space, so what could be better than getting a little hands-on education by sleeping under the stars? You can do just that at Space Center Houston, and it’s a unique opportunity the whole family is sure to enjoy.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

Whether you prefer an indoor or outdoor camping experience, the Space Center offers both. Either sleep directly underneath a Boeing 747 in Independence Plaza...

...or surrounded by some of the rarest spaceflight artifacts on the planet indoors. Whichever option you choose, it's sure to be an out-of-this-world adventure!

Check-in begins at 4:30 p.m., and then you'll enjoy a buffet dinner before heading to the Mission Control Center for briefing. Be sure to listen closely - you won't want to miss any crucial information about your important mission!

The following morning, you'll be served a buffet breakfast to fuel up for a full day of exploring the Space Center. That's right, each ticket gives participants two days to experience all the exhibits, activities, and education offered here.

So if you want to join the party, passes are $59.95 per person and can be purchased here. We can't wait to hear all about the journey once you return to Earth!

The Space Center is located at 1601 NASA Parkway, Houston, TX, 77058.

What do you think about this awesome opportunity? Would you sleep indoors or outdoors?
