The tour was very interesting. The guide and the driver were both very, very friendly, attentive to all the guests, and the guide was able to provide informative answers to all our questions. He had a good command of the subject matter and was able to explain even the smallest details in a way that was easy for young children to understand. The tour was consistently exciting and varied. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience.

Easiest by far to explore the entire Space Center. Our tour guide "Patrick" was very knowledgeable and provided us all with a very complete experience of all the sites. The entry into the center and the bus tour was seamless and can't imagine any other way to visit the Center. Completely satisfied and highly recommend using "headout.com" for a very memorable experience.

The tour took us so close to the gantrys that previous and future rockets have used. The guide was very knowledgeable about the space programme and took us up close to the VAB. If you are interested in space then you cannot go to Kennedy without the explore tour. Absolutely fabulous. We will go many more times if we are able.

Prepare for blast-off

Your space adventure begins with meeting your guide, who will be your mission control throughout the day. They'll provide insider tips and historical knowledge to enrich your experience at the Kennedy Space Center. First, head to the iconic Space Shuttle Atlantis. Get up close and personal with this spacecraft; its payload bay is open just as it was during missions. Feel the G-forces of a launch in a simulator, practice docking the International Space Station, or experience the weightlessness of space in a virtual spacewalk. Delve into the "Heroes and Legends" exhibit, and hear the stories of the brave men and women who have pushed the boundaries of space exploration.

Step into The Gantry at LC-39, now open at Kennedy Space Center

The latest attraction at Kennedy Space Center, the Gantry at LC-39, features 360° views, interactive exhibits, and an exciting simulated rocket test. Learn about NASA’s efforts to protect Earth and see how space technology complements natural ecosystems.

Go beyond the exhibits

Hop aboard a special bus with a space expert guide. They'll whisk you past restricted areas, like the Vehicle Assembly Building, where rockets are prepped for launch. See Launch Complex 39, where the Apollo missions blasted off, and witness the future of space travel at the launch pads used by SpaceX and ULA. This experience offers 1-day or 2-day ticket options. The 1-day option is perfect for a whirlwind adventure, while the 2-day ticket allows you to delve deeper into the exhibits. Round-trip transportation from Orlando is available with an upgrade for a hassle-free journey directly to the Kennedy Space Center.
