I recently had the chance to visit the Kennedy Space Center while doing my internship at Disney. As a biology major, I’ve always been fascinated by science in different fields, and this experience really expanded my perspective beyond life sciences. One of the highlights was getting to speak with an astronaut in person—I even received an autograph, which was incredibly inspiring. I also prepared a gift for my boyfriend back in Korea, who is studying electronic engineering, so it felt meaningful to connect our different scientific passions through this visit. Overall, it was such a memorable and motivating experience that reminded me how powerful human curiosity and exploration can be.

The visit with the family to the Kennedy Space Center was extraordinary. We took all day to visit the various pavilions and each one was so rich in materials, informational videos, launch and flight simulators, etc., that it thrilled both us adults and our children (a 15-year-old teenager and a 9-year-old boy). The bus tour that takes you to the different areas that can be visited was well organized and all the pavilions were well organized and the materials well displayed. To those who are space enthusiasts, we say don't miss it, you will be confronted with the heroes of space and amazing...you will see fragments of the Moon!!! An unforgettable day!!!

We came on our 9 year old twins birthday. The whole day was fantastic and they enjoyed everything from the rocket park all the presentations the meet the astronaut the shuttle launch simulator even the soft play. So glad we picked it for their birthday treat instead of a park. We came all the way from England and only wish we had booked for two days. For Mum and me it was fabulous to put all the things we had lived through from moon landings apollo 13 space shuttle successes and tragedies into context. All brought right up to date with the new exploration to mars and the amazing new telescope. Wow what a day out and inspiration for the future.

    The Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit was amazing! As a visitor from New Zealand who grew up watching the Space Shuttle program as a child from the very beginning, it was a once in a lifetime experience that made me quite emotional - and that was before we saw the tributes to the crews of Challenger and Columbia. Purchasing our tickets online through Headout was easy and hassle-free. Only downside for us was having to pay an additional $15 for parking when we arrived (it wasn't obvious when purchasing our tickets that parking would incur an extra charge).

    It was a dream-come-true moment in my 50s. Having always marveled at the technological advancements in the US, particularly in space, my background as a physics student fueled my wonder. I was filled with excitement as I witnessed these remarkable technologies unfolding before me.

    Very beautiful historic center, still in operation, a must-see. You can see the launch site, the old rockets 🚀, the explanation of the conquest of the moon, lots of animations and video explanations. Very beautiful and well done.

    I have in my bucket list to go to Kennedy Space Center. What I loved the most was that I had the opportunity to meet an astronaut, got his autograph, took a picture with him, and heard about his experience in space. Thank you!!
