Kennedy Space Centre has been a must see attraction on my family's list for a long time and it certainly did not disappoint. The bus tour was excellent, every driver helpful and knowledgeable. As we approached each stage of the tour there was a helpful video backed up by driver comments about the space centre and the local wildlife. In the main exhibit the journey to the moon with Apollo mission is brought to life through actually being able to view moon rovers, space suits worn by the astronauts, other space items and the impressive Saturn 5 rocket. All this is enhanced by video stories in the actual launch centre and on site guides. Additionally there are interactive experiences, meet and greet sessions and a video on the future Mars programs. A truly memorable day with so much to see and do; even the on site catering and souvenirs are offered at reasonable prices.

I highly recommend the two day pass... we leveraged it on an arrival day to spend a couple hours getting the layout and letting the kids play in the very fun playground and snacks at IMAX. The next day was filled with the sims and exploration. Just as space is an amazing place, the Kennedy space center does a great job to help you reach it in ways that a TV special or YouTube video never could. It's immersive and at many times quite impressive. We really enjoyed the shuttle launch experience and the Atlantis experiences. The time and space the center has built around some of these artifacts and how the place takes you through the history, relevance, and future goals of space exploration was fun! Whether you're a space enthusiast or someone just willing to listen, explore, and take in some cool facts and visuals.... it's for all.

Tickets were very easy to buy with Headout. We bought the 2-day admission tickets, they were great value for money, easy to use and we would definitely not have seen everything at the Space Centre in only 1 day! We loved the whole experience. The space shuttle display and the VR experience were particular highlights.

The visit was very comprehensive, from the bus tour to see the facilities and launch sites to then learning about the space shuttle operations and current exploration with various models of past and present spacecraft.
