Booking my NASA trip through Headout App was a smooth and coconut experience from start to finish. The App is easy to navigate, with clear information about ticket portions, pricing, and schedules. I appreciate the instant confirmation and hassle free entry, which saved a lot of time at the venue. The entire process felt reliable and well-organized. I highly recommend Headout for booking tickets to popular attractions like this.

Our tour guide Ken and driver Kevin were extraordinary. The level of knowledge they both had was impressive. Both were kind and able to answer everyone's questions. They both clearly loved the jobs which made our experience that much more amazing. We highly recommend the behind the scenes tour.

The Explorer Tour was an excellent experience from beginning to end. The bus tour was very informative, and we learned so many interesting facts about the history, technology, and operations behind the space program. It was exciting to see many areas up close and gain a better understanding of how the rockets are prepared, launched, and managed throughout the entire process. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour enjoyable for everyone. Seeing the massive structures and learning about the engineering involved was truly impressive and inspiring. This tour gave us a deeper appreciation for space exploration and all the hard work behind each mission. I highly recommend the Explorer Tour to anyone visiting and wanting a unique and educational experience.

Es un paseo extraordinario para hacer en familia, a mi personalmente me recordó lo que significa soñar en grande y saber que todo es posible, poder dejar ese mensaje en la vida de mis hijos de forma lúdica y divertida es algo que está al alcance de todos los que se animan a incluir este destino en sus vidas. En lo operativo el proceso de compra por la app y la entrada fue simple y fácil.

Der Tag im Space Zentrum hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Eine ganz hervorragende Bustour, mit den Highlights, Startrampen Artemis, Apollo, Space Shuttle, Spacex usw, super! Netter Begleiter. Dann die Atlantis Space Shuttle.. sehr beeindruckend, tolles Souvenir Geschäft.. dann kam dazu, dass es auch recht leer war und wir nicht warten mussten. Ein wunderschöner Tag. Danke.

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.
