Galaxy Lights is Space Center Houston's space-themed holiday light show, open on select evenings from November 14, 2026 through January 3, 2027, 6 to 10 p.m. Most of the light displays are outdoors, including a dancing lightscape, and this season adds a galactic snow slide. Admission also includes the indoor exhibitions, although NASA Tram Tours and the Starship Gallery are closed during the event. Plan about 90 minutes; tickets are sold only until 9 p.m., which is the last admittance time. Prices vary by night from $19.95 to $27.95 for guests over three, and children three and younger are free. Sensory-Friendly Nights with reduced lighting and effects are offered at a discount on select dates. Dress for the weather; the evening's status is posted at 4 p.m. daily, and tickets for nights closed by severe weather can be used on another night. Popular dates sell out, so book ahead.
