Nassau Bay Texas

Launch Your Vacation in Nassau Bay, Texas

Nassau Bay, a unique city in the Bay Area Houston region originally established to accommodate Johnson Space Center (JSC) and provide a community for astronauts, space professionals and their families. Today, more than 60 Nassau Bay residents have visited space, and a few have even walked on the moon. In 2005, the city dedicated a serpentine wall of black granite featuring the flags of the nations participating in the International Space Station. The striking monument is on NASA Parkway in the median between NASA and the city.

Located across the street from Johnson Space Center and Space Center Houston, Nassau Bay has it all: space and science adventure, fun, sun and water. The Clear Lake recreation area is the third largest pleasure boat basin in the United States.

In addition to Space Center Houston, Nassau Bay also boasts a host of events sure to delight the entire family. The annual Wings over Houston Airshow at nearby Ellington International Airport gives families an up-close view of military and civilian aircraft  as well as demonstrations in the air and on the ground. Ballunar Liftoff Festival, held on the grounds of JSC, hosts more than 100 hot air balloons as well as skydiving exhibitions, para-gliders and hang-gliders, all set in a carnival atmosphere with food, crafts, midway and live musical entertainment.

You’ll find plenty to do around Nassau Bay as well. Space Center Houston and the Kemah Boardwalk, both top attractions in Texas, provide hours of family fun. The San Jacinto Monument, Battleship Texas and other museums give families the chance to learn the history of the area.
