As a child of the sixtys, I enjoyed reliving the history of the Apollo and space shuttle programs, and seeing the future of our space programs. I have visited the Kennedy space center several times over the last forty years, and am always amazed at the growth of not only the space programs, but of the visitor and historical experiences.

Visiting the Kennedy Space Center was an amazing experience. There was so much to see, and the many short films about rocket launches and spacecraft construction made it feel like you were truly part of the history of space exploration. The exhibits were engaging, informative, and beautifully presented—absolutely worth the visit!

We were able to secure 3 adult tickets right at the gate of the Kennedy Space Center each for the price of a child's ticket! The app was easy to use! I found it by googling discounts for Kennesy Space Center. We will go back and use headout again and at other attractions!

Everything was very smooth from the beginning. Entering with digital tickets was much easier and faster. The park itself was a good representation of the history of NASA and the current events. It was an overall wonderful experience. 10/10!!

We visited the Kennedy Space Center at the beginning of November and, without being too hard on ourselves, there weren't many people there after all. The experience was even better. The bus tour allows you to visit remote parts of the site that are not accessible on foot. I recommend them. In the center itself, we saw the iMax films, all of which are equally worthwhile (4 when we were there). In short, a place to (re)discover the American conquest of space in a fun and educational way.

The staff was super sweet! Our 6 year old grandson wore an astronaut costume for the day and they made him feel so special. The entry guys told us how to get 1st timer buttons for all 3 grandkids and everyone was just extremely friendly The park was super cool as well. The bus drivers for the bus tour were friendly and funny. Pointed out the gators suntanning on the side of the road.

We travelled all the way from England with the primary reason for our visit being the Kennedy Space Centre. We tried to tie in our visit with the launch of Artemis 2 on the 6th March, so initially we felt disappointed when the rocket was rolled back to April. However, the moment we arrived any disappointment went! As we drove aling the beautiful Indian River, we could already see the rockets in the distance and it was exhilarating! When we arrived the process to get through the gates was fast. Our Grandson has Autism but was well looked after by staff, with no queuing. As you enter theres an awe inspiring rocket garden to the left. Incredible to be next to these. We went for a bus tour first. The odd alligator lines the route. By far, the most magical moment happened at the Shuttle experience. I wont spoil the surprise but we all clapped and cheered in complete awe. There is so much to see that we opted to go back a second day to meet an astronaut. On entering we saw a racoon peering down at us! The experience was completely mind blowing and one I would highly recommend to those who aren't particularly spacey people too! We had a lovely self serve breakfast whilst we chatted with the astronaut. We stayed in Orlando for 10 days, but these two days outshone everything else. I felt completely humbled being so close to humankinds greatest achievements. The engineering is completely mind blowing and its a once in a lifetime visitor experience. Absolutely incredible. Handy hints.... Everyone seems to go for the bus tour first. Buses run every few minutes so maybe do the tour later on. Get the App on your phone. It was handy for rest rooms and places to eat & drink. Try Planet Play for the kids! Its superb.

Our visit to the Kennedy Space Center was an absolutely unforgettable experience. As soon as you enter, you notice how much attention to detail has been put into the entire facility. There are exciting little things to discover everywhere—from original space objects and impressive exhibitions to interactive stations that make the day particularly varied. The atmosphere on site was particularly impressive: you can literally feel the history of space travel and, at the same time, glimpse into the future. Many small details and lovingly designed areas make the visit something very special. The entire day was excellently organized, very informative, and, at the same time, incredibly fascinating. For us, it was one of the highlights of our trip. Anyone who is even slightly interested in space travel should definitely visit the Kennedy Space Center—a truly unique place that will remain in your memory for a long time.
