We visited the Kennedy Space Center with our grandchildren (7&9), and took the Guided Explore Tour. Our guide was great, he shared information about the history of the Space Center and the new Private Partnerships with SpaceX and Blue Orgin. Visiting Launch Sites 39A& B was exciting as we have watched numerous launches over the years from these sites. Seeing the size of the "Crawlers" was amazing, to think they can carry the Rockets from the Assembly Buildings to the Launch Pads is really impressive. Seeing the full size Saturn V Rockets suspended above our heads was awe inspiring. It was exciting to see the Lunar Rover and the LEM on display. Overall this was a great tour and our only regret is that we only had one day to visit. We will return and plan to purchase the 2-Day Ticket as there is so much to see!

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.

Being up close and personal with the past and future experiences is amazing. You can watch it on tv but nothing compares to seeing it in person! Absolutely incredible! Some extremely brilliant work performed by the teams involved! If I lived closer, I'd definitely have a yearly pass! Thank you for an awesome opportunity!

We took four grandkids ages 14 to 9. They loved the "simulations". The size of the rockets made it real. While the history was lost on them except for items related to Artemis items, my wife and I have now visited twice and really enjoyed our visit.

I took my dad here for his 80th birthday and he really enjoyed it. He's not someone who would normally enjoy some kind of theme park, but this was perfect for him as someone who served in the Navy as a young man and someone who is a proud American.

Excellent facilities, a wonderful and unforgettable experience—highly recommended. It’s wonderful to learn about the global space program, the rockets, and the amazing space shuttles. The service and organization were top-notch.

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.
