Lift off the holidays with an out-of-this-world wonderland at Galaxy Lights, presented by Reliant, at Space Center Houston, on view now through Sunday, January 7, 2024.
Space Center Houston welcomes the return of Galaxy Lights, a stellar spectacle that transforms the campus into a twinkling wonderland filled with space-themed light installations, high-tech experiences, holiday treats and more in a one-of-a-kind holiday event that can only be found in Space City.
Channeling the wonders of space exploration, this popular immersive event sends guests on a multi-colored journey throughout the Space Center.
Along the way, they’ll experience towering displays like the 40-foot-tall cascading crystal fireworks show, a 200-foot long LED light tunnel that sends families and friends through more than 250,000 synchronized lights set to holiday tunes, choreographed kinetic light displays, and memorable activations where you can snap a photo, like under the massive shooting star that stretches 100 feet long and 40 feet high.

A twinkling spectacle with holiday treats
Galaxy Lights at Space Center Houston provides plenty of fun for the family and your loved ones, along with educational activities and films where you can learn about the holiday experiences of astronauts that have ventured into the final frontier.
The supersized spectacle also offers a chance to get up close to the crafts that carry us to space, like the twice-flown SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and under the wing of the historic space shuttle carrier aircraft, where you can hop around on an interactive light pad decked out in 290 multicolor platforms.
There’s no shortage of holiday snacks that satisfy the spirit of the season, so be sure to stop by to roast your own s’mores, sip on hot chocolate, or munch on gingerbread cookies, kettle corn, chocolate peppermint bark, and more.
