He had very interesting stories and an incredible experience. Unfortunately, there were a lot of kids asking questions. Kids should get this experience but there should be an option for people without kids to ask more serious/interesting questions than having to listen to the astronaut come up with an interesting way to answer kid questions.

Everything was good with the ticketing. I loved watching my elder son following the conversation and asking questions to John Fabian, the astronaut we spoke with.

Cosmic Conversations with an Astronaut at KSC

Step into the heart of NASA's gateway to the stars – the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and in a small group dive deep into the life of a space pioneer. Sip on refreshing drinks and savor either breakfast or snacks, all while discussing the mystique of space, its challenges, and the ethereal beauty astronauts witness. As you absorb these tales, you’ll get the unique opportunity to pose questions, uncovering intriguing, lesser-known facets of space travel. Before this session concludes, immortalize the memory with a snapshot alongside the astronaut and take home a signed lithograph as a keepsake.

A Voyage Beyond the Stars: Exhibits, Shows & More

Post this heart-to-heart, wander around, and soak in the wealth of experiences the Visitor Complex offers. From the awe-inspiring Space Shuttle Atlantis® to the dynamic Shuttle Launch Experience and Rocket Garden, there's much to explore. Here's a fun tidbit: the Rocket Garden houses the Mercury-Redstone, the very rocket Alan Shepard piloted as the first American in space. And speaking of legends, don't miss the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame presented by Boeing®, boasting the world’s largest collection of astronaut memorabilia. 1 day is not enough to explore the entire Visitor Complex, upgrade your ticket to get a 2-day entry to KSC Visitor Complex!
