Houston, H-Town, Bayou City, Clutch City... we can all agree that Houston is known by many names. The one we're talking about today, however, is arguably one of the coolest - Space City. The name officially made its debut in 1967 when NASA built the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, and it's stuck ever since.

It's full of interative ehxhibits and activities for families and kids!
