Space Center Houston to Offer Summer Relief for Houston Area Families and Tourists

NASA's Official Visitor's Center Will Sell Summer Tickets
for Half Price Through Limited Online Program
HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
Rising prices may curb travel plans for some Texans this summer as
the national average price of gas reaches $3.62 per gallon according
to motorist organization AAA and could affect tourism across the
country including Houston. NASA's Space Center Houston announced a
plan that will help make their venue even more affordable for families
this summer with H.O.T. or Half Off Ticket, where every adult and
child ticket purchased online at www.spacecenter.org through May 31
will be sold at half the price of regular admission and can be used
Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.

A family of four with two adults and two children who purchase
tickets through the H.O.T. program can save as much as $34 while four
adults can save nearly $40, leaving extra cash for gas or other
expenses.

"We recognize our city's tourism may be impacted by the serious
economic issues facing families today such as the price of gas," said
Roger Bornstein, marketing director for Space Center Houston. "We hope
to see Houston and other Texas attractions join our effort and create
similar initiatives."

NASA's official visitor's center will have a host of new exclusive
events this summer including "Radio Disney's Camp Rock" where fans can
rock like the Jonas Brothers and compete for valuable prizes;
Daredevil Island will transport the whole family deep into a jungle
adventure filled with bungee jumping and other thrills as well as a
spectacular Independence Week Celebration.
