We had a fantastic visit to Kennedy Space Center! 🚀 Seeing the rockets and space shuttles up close was incredible, and the guided bus tour offered fascinating insights into the launch pads and NASA’s space program. David was a knowledgeable guide who made the tour enjoyable and took the time to answer our questions with clear, interesting explanations. We highly recommend Kennedy Space Center to anyone visiting Florida—it’s an absolute must-see!

I made the trip down from St. Louis, MO area to the Kennedy Space Station. As a kid, we never did these kind of trips and now as an adult, it was something I felt required to do. I went solo and it was still amazing. The information, the Apollo, shuttle, being on site gives views that are a MUST SEE to appreciate. I'm 33 and it still inspires me.

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.

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.
