Visiting the Kennedy Space Center had been a wish of mine and my husband's for a few years, and because of Father's Day, we decided to go there that weekend to celebrate in a special way. The place is wonderful, starting from when we arrived at the entrance: the National Anthem playing before the gates opened, the Spacecraft Garden at the entrance, and several attractions throughout the park. We also took a bus tour to see the rocket launch base, but what made the visit truly special was, after watching a video about the launches, the deaths of the astronauts, and the entire process carried out before man finally went to the Moon, the back of the room opening and seeing the spacecraft that returned from space, right there in front of us. It was emotional. We will return many more times.

It was a wonderful day. Check-in was easy—I suggest arriving 30 minutes before opening and starting with the bus. Plan on spending 2 hours there, and be sure to bring a packed lunch and a bottle of water; there are places to refuel. My two favorites were the Apollo/Saturn V Center and the Space Shuttle Atlantis, as well as the IMAX theater. Parking is $15, and all payments are by card—even in the shops—no cash accepted. The place is very impressive with all the rockets. Enjoy your visit!

My husband and I took our 03 grandchildren (6, 5 and 3-year-old ones) to Kennedy Space Center because we thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to help grandparents to build unforgettable moments and also give them the opportunity to keep themselves up to date to innovations and researches. The visit was awesome and I am sure the whole experience helped them feel the real approach of what it means to be a citizen in te 21st Century. At the end of the day we have here grateful grandparents!

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.

Going step by step.. Getting there was super easy by car. Loads of parking and well signposted. Entry was well managed, we got there early and queued for opening time, then easy access with our tickets through headout. We had booked the explorer tour. So didn't need to wait in the normal, long bus queue - had a dedicated line. This allowed us to visit the rocket garden first. Epic start to the day. Bus was brilliant, ken our guide was super friendly and informative. The explore tour was also really worth the money with some great additional stops and truly stunning photos of the pads and items near VAB. Then Saturn 5, again, the scale of this is not really shown in images. Breathtaking. Same with the space shuttle back at the main visitor center. I was last here when it was just a replica as a child. The real shuttle now has a whole immersive walk around and amazing interactive learning area. Shop, hale of fame, deep space. All worth visits. We were in the park from opening until 5:30. We didn't dawdle that much and didn't do the kids area. There is plenty to see for a while day. We brought lunch in a collbag backpack. Would recommend, as food is pricey, just like the Orlando parks. I would say sheltered seating is a little limited in places. Overall an excellent day. Great for children and adults. We went as a couple in our early thirties and had an absolute blast!

The guided tour offered valuable insights and access to 2 stops which are not included in the regular ticket price. Our tour guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable in contrast to the few people you might find in the exhibitions. I loved to learn so much more about space exploration and enjoyed the day. Unfortunately is the entire space center understaffed and it's really difficult to find anybody knowledgeable about the basics. The little add on for the guided Explorer tour is the best value you can get. One of the perks of this special interest line is to skip the very long line for the regular unguided bus transfer.

The last time I was at this place was over 2 decades ago, I only intended to go back to show my kid how amazing this place is; it was a wonderful surprise seeing all the updates and improvements the Kennedy space center has now. Being able to see this place through the eyes of a kid again was wonderful.
