I really enjoyed visiting Kennedy Space Center. It was an amazing experience and very different from other attractions in Florida. Everything was very organized, clean, and easy to get around. The bus tour was one of the best parts because you get to see the real launch areas and the Saturn V rocket, which is huge and very impressive in person.The Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit was also incredible. Seeing the real shuttle up close is something you don’t experience anywhere else. There are also many simulators and interactive areas that make the visit fun and not just educational.I recommend going early because there is a lot to see and you can easily spend the whole day there. If you don’t have much time, I recommend the bus tour, the Saturn V rocket, and the Atlantis exhibit first.Overall, I really liked it and I think it’s definitely worth visiting at least once. It makes you appreciate space exploration and everything NASA has done.

Arriving the day before the launch of Artemis II made for a fantastic visit with a buzz of excitement and anticipation already in the air. Our journey from our base in Orlando was uneventful and a quick QR code scan and we were in. From that point we joined the bus tour, took photos, saw alligators and many other species or wildlife and, if course, learnt lots about what it takes to put objects (especially humans!) into space - the science and engineering but also the human side. We watched inspiring videos - the unveiling of Artemis was a particular highlight! There were special displays with real scientists from the Artemis mission twho we spoke to and took away information and decals from. We spent a full day there and didn't have time to visit 4 of the visitor buildings, a fabulous day nonetheless - I guess we'll just have to go back!

Super busy this weekend between Easter and the Artemis II launch but the complex was as amazing as expected. Every building we entered was clean and well preserved. Both free public tours (rocket garden and Saturn V) were given by people who were very knowlagable and everything was presented well. I wish there were better plaques giving information. There's so much amazing science, engineering, and history to be shared. Please please do so.

We had an amazing time at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Honestly, one day wasn’t enough. Even two days probably wouldn’t cover everything there is to see and do. There’s so much to experience, and it’s all incredibly well done. It’s a fantastic place for all ages. If you’re into space, or have kids who are interested in space, this is an absolute must-visit if you’re in the Orlando area.

One of the best trip with my 10 years old son. We traveled from Richmond. Virginia to Orlando just for Kennedy Space Center. We enjoyed every bit of the space center - the gateway, bus tour, imax play space, hall of fame, heroes and legends, listening from astronauts. We became the part of history by watching the breathtaking Artemis 2 launch during our visit. My son's excitement is something to see. He is still in that zone and keeping himself updated with the live telecast of the mission. We were so excited in the space center that we forgot that we had to wait almost 4 hours in the bus tour queue. We hope to visit the KSC again.
