We only saw half the exhibits. Will have to come back. We especially enjoyed the presentation by astronaut Jose Hernandez. What a fascinating journey he had!

The exhibits were wonderful, informative, fun to look at, impressive. The lines were pretty long whereever we went however which I just wasn't expecting. We didn't understand that you had to wait in a line just to enter the Shuttle building. But once we wrapped our heads around the lines we had a great time.

I took my Tennessee native husband to my favorite childhood field trip and was let down some. The ticket process was purposely inconvenient. Ordering on the website, going to will call line, the to bag clearing line, THEN so much confusion at the ticket gate. It was a mess. Once inside, the attractions did not have a nature flow to them. At Disney, you are led by the environment to the next activity or attraction. The layout seemed more like a farmers market booth set up than a attraction park. I appreciated that most activities were either in the shade or inside. Our bus tour guides were either quiet or gave some great i formation. Like the bald eagles nest. I would have liked more opportunities to have the launch pads visible. OH AND THE PARKING! The entry to the spot to pay for parking was a mess. Cars coming from the east had access to four pay stalls and the cars from the west only had one. Go sit in that mess. I was ready from the east to turn right at the light to the closed gate, make a U-turn and then enter by light. Why is there a light at opening time!!! The process to get from the entrance to our first attraction took over two hours!! And we got there before the doors opened. Not the best use of our time when we could be spending that time in the gift shop or food court. We will be back but hopefully with changes.

Watching the Spacex launch!! The Atlantis Exhibit intro video and introduction was spectacular! I'm generally pretty immune to musical hyperbole but when the screen scrim went up to show Atlantis with the fanfare I was deeply moved.

We come from far away and getting to talk to a REAL astronaut is incredible and on the other hand, the motivation it generates in my youngest son to study nuclear engineering!!!! Wonderful!

Your experience

A galactic beginning to stellar moments at KSC

At Kennedy Space Center get ready to explore. The Atlantis exhibit stands prominent, inviting you close enough to sense its historical prowess. Did you know the Atlantis shuttle orbited Earth over 4,800 times? This is followed by a dive into the deep cosmos with an IMAX 3D moon-walking experience that defies gravity in its depiction.

From legacy rockets to lunar wonder

A bus shuttle equips you to journey through the heart of space endeavors and gives you a drive-by view of the Vehicle Assembly Building. The Apollo/Saturn V Center stands as a testament to human ingenuity; beneath the Saturn V, the sheer magnitude of our aspirations becomes evident. Fun tidbit: the Saturn V remains the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever produced. Leisurely, stroll through the Rocket Garden, understanding our evolutionary strides in space travel. Don't miss out on the unique opportunity to touch a fragment of the moon, an emblem of our celestial achievements. For those who can't get enough in a day, there's always the option to upgrade for a comprehensive 2-day pass. You can choose to enhance your visit with our Explore Tour upgrade! Led by a knowledgeable space expert, embark on a bus journey, stopping at key locations like the Vehicle Assembly Building and SpaceX launch pads.
