The Water Works at Buffalo Bayou Park is one of the major attractions of the sprawling landscape. Popularly called 'Cistern', it served as Houston's first drinking-water reserve built underground. Constructed in the year 1927, it was abandoned when the authorities could not trace a leak source. Atop the historic site, Water Works commands some spectacular views of the city skyline. Bordered with some dense shrubs, it renders itself well for open-air events and performances.

Spread over 1,620 acres (655 hectares) in Houston, the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center is one of the main centers for spaceflight in the United States. Home to NASA's Astronaut Corps, it functioned as Mission Control during the Gemini and Apollo space shuttle programs. It was also the primary flight control center for all following manned space missions, including Apollo 11 which put the first man on the moon. The Lunar Receiving Center at JSC is where they store most of the samples from moon missions and astronaut training takes place at JSC as well. At the forefront of technological and space discovery, the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center continues to push the boundaries of scientific achievement, as it has for over half a century.
