Prepare yourself to experience something approximately 300% more interesting than you predict it will be. There is so much to see, touch, climb on, listen to, learn from, and just walk around being amazed. We wished we would have planned for 2 days there to see everything. The first things we see led to the next 10 things. We opted in for the Chat with an Astronaut which was a highlight of our entire trip which included Universal Studios! Kathryn Thornton is a national treasure and gave an impressive talk. A big plus is that the snacks served were spectacular as well. We still talk about the banana pudding. Thank you Kennedy Space Center for being the highlight of our trip. Being back home, the Universal days are fading to memory but the Kennedy day is still talked about! Truly an amazing place.

They were very punctual, the tour was very enjoyable, and the transportation was super comfortable. Adan was very friendly. It’s definitely a place you have to visit if you come to Orlando. 🙌🏻

It was a wonderful experience to meet an astronaut and talk with him. Seeing the huge space shuttle was also very memorable. It was great to not only see the moon rocks but also touch them. The food was delicious, too. Someday, I’d like to visit the Space Center in Houston.

This was me and my wifes fourth visit to the Kennedy Center. It was four years from our last visit and the first visit with our son and his family. Our grandson, who is 8 years old, enjoyed everthing. The breakfast with the astronaut was terrific. Good discussions and the presentation was excellent. Only suggestion would be to not have the astronaut booked so tightly that there was no time for her to have pictures taken. It was offered that pictures could be taken at a latter time in the day at another presenttion that she was to be involved in. This would not work for us. Keep up the good work.

Tour was great. Getting the tickets was a problem. Your confirmation did not include an 800 number for problems. Luckily Kenedy had the number and after three attempts (first two automated and the last a human) we finally receiced the QR tickets via email. This was after the astronaut meeting. Will never use Headout again.

We enjoyed hearing from Ken. However, one group dominated the question answers, and were taking the time away from the kids to ask questions. I wish the moderator had controlled that more. We also wish we had gotten personal pictures with Ken as that is what we were looking forward to. We had something else planned during his meet and greet later in the day and could not get a picture with him.
