About this experience
Step back into the 1960s and 70s, an era when Houston transformed from a provincial oil town into the futuristic 'Space City.' On this immersive walking tour, you'll discover how the Apollo missions and the Space Race didn't just send humans to the moon—they radically reshaped the architecture, culture, and psychological fabric of downtown Houston. From the historic hotel where JFK dreamed of the stars to brutalist concrete fortresses and literal lunar landscapes, uncover the nostalgic and visually striking remnants of humanity's greatest leap.
