What To Expect
Make your way to the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, a short drive from Orlando, then spend the day exploring this history and future of the United States’ space program.
Get your bearings on the grounds on a guided bus tour of the Kennedy Space Center, including restricted parts of the working spaceflight facility. One highlight of the Kennedy Space Center is an exhibit of the Space Shuttle 'Atlantis,' with interactive experiences that introduce the people behind this important NASA program, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the International Space Station.
Take a turn at the helm, feel what it’s like to float in space, explore a replica of the International Space Station, and more. Every day at the Kennedy Space Center, a real astronaut joins visitors to discuss missions and the personal experience of space travel, and two IMAX theaters help bring space travel to vivid life.
Continue to a Shuttle Launch Experience for a simulation of the space shuttle’s ascent, with a pre-launch briefing by a space commander veteran, then walk the length of the Saturn V rocket that launched some of America’s brave astronauts and honor NASA’s fallen heroes at the 'Heroes and Legends' exhibit featuring the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame®.

So much to see and do. We spent 7 hours there and wished we had a second day!
The staff were great and the bus drivers we very knowledgeable.
An absolute MUST, for space enthusiasts. The whole area is completely immersive for families and solo travellers and is as high-tech as you’d expect with NASA. Plenty to see and do and easily fills a full day with food and beverages available at multiple areas on site. Also a very good “soft-play” area for the kids.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the variety of activities and amenities at the Kennedy Space Center. Don't hesitate to visit us again for another adventure!
A great day out in Orlando. Going in September meant that it was much quieter meaning that we were able to get around everything. Doing the space VR is a must do. So much fun!
Cruise Disembarkation day, we planned to rent a car from Budget, and head on over to KSC. I didnt anticipate a 2.5 hour ordeal from port to Budget! Everybody was getting a rental car that day. By the time we got the car it was already 1pm, and ksc closes at 5pm. So we had to pivot, and change our visit to the next day. Luckily, the tix have a 15 day flexible buffer so we didnt stress about losing the use of the ticket! We had a fantastic time at KSC, very awe inspiring and amazing what humans can achieve.
P.s. I had already messed up my tix reservations the first time with a wrong date, and Gray Lines was able to make an adjustment for me easily. I really appreciate the customer service and flexibility.
Excellent time to spend with kids and explore all the wonders of space, technology and history. A lot of different activities to do with kids of all ages
We had an absolutely wonderful day at Kennedy Space Center! Our family group included grandparents, parents, and grandchildren, and it truly was an experience that had something for every generation.
There is so much to see and do, and it’s incredible to be standing in a place where so much history has been made. Seeing the Space Shuttle Atlantis up close was breathtaking, and the Saturn V and Apollo exhibits really brought the history of the space program to life. For the grandchildren, there were plenty of exciting, interactive experiences that kept them interested and entertained throughout the day.
What made the visit especially memorable was being able to experience it together as a family. The grandparents remembered many of these historic moments as they actually happened, the parents appreciated the history and technology, and the grandchildren got to discover the excitement of space exploration for themselves.
The entire complex was well organized, educational without ever feeling boring, and easily filled our whole day. We left tired but very happy, with lots of photographs, great memories, and plenty to talk about on the way home.
Kennedy Space Center is so much more than just an attraction — it’s an experience. We would absolutely recommend it for families of all ages, and especially for a multi-generational family day
An excellent experience regarding the evolution of putting humans on the Moon—with its many challenges—as well as what lies ahead with Artemis and the prospect of living on the Moon and Mars. STEM applied in its maximum details
Was the best experience of our lives, so amazing to see rockets and shuttles up close and personal, I loved the reinactment of the landing on the moon. was magical. The kids loved it as well. Loved that it was educational and connected history to the current excitement of the moon and space travel and science. Showed our kids that anything is possible. Dream big, Dream hard and love the journey.
You have to walk a lot and you will be outdoors much of the time. Go when the weather is cool. The exhibits and shows are excellent.
My husband and I enjoyed it. It was very educational. We loved the virtual reality stuff. It was really great and funny so good that we didn’t even eat anything until we left.
I learned a lot about space. Very informative and the simulator was a great experience. Made me think futuristically.
Very interesting about the initial Moon program, however lacking the last 55 years of missions. Space Shuttle should have had more and so should the Attimus II mission. Bus tour…2+ hours of waiting and driving between 2 sites and main area.
Great for a hot day because mostly you are indoors. Except for the bus tour line you are out of the sun and seeing cool things.
this gives a voucher (not the actual ticket) which needs to be converted into scannable tickets at the ticket counter. Doesn't seem like there is any cost benefit compared to buying at the counter.
Amazing tour and so much good information and fun things. We had no idea it was that awesome! Space is cool!
Our 13 year old Grandson was not sure what to expect when we surprised him with this on a trip together. He was all in and totally engaged as soon as we saw roe get garden on approach. We spent several hours there and all of us came away with awe of the program
Great experience! Very cinematic and educational. A must do while in Orlando in Florida. Highly recommend
My husband is so interested in Space and travel, I, not so much. But I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the exhibits, the videos and experience. Would highly recommend.
A wonderful tour. So much to see and to learn and a full day may not be enough. Get there at 8:30 when parking opens and wear your walking shoes!! Be prepared to wait for some exhibits. For me it was an excellent day!!
Many great attractions but would suggest to arrive early and do the bus tour first. Would not stay any longer than half an hour at the first bus stop
Just amazing, well worth doing. Need full day to get through park.
We use uber to and from Orlando..
Great Experience, it's so friendly to physically disabled also, they have scooters and whealchairs, it's really amazing Experience.
Great excursion there’s a lot to see and do so keep everyone moving along or you’ll miss seeing things.
There are a lot of simulator experiences, however not everyone can experience these. I felt that while I liked what we did, the price was very expensive for us. We were in the park for 3-4 hours due to this.
I like to see easy to do in one day start with a bus tour. Buy your tickets online save time and potentially money. Fascinating stuff. Worth a visit we did know that it was somewhat dated. Still very good.
Fun from the moment we walked in! Kids enjoyed everything! Such a fun family day! Would highly recommend!!!
It was amazing. I went early in the day wondering what I will do the rest of the day. I soon found that I was running out of time and didn't get to see everything. This mean a return trip is in order. Highly recommend it to those that love space and everything related.
Fabulous experience with so many amazing things to see including a simulator experience. Lines were not long at all.
We visited the Space Center with family from Sweden and they were overwhelmed with the exhibits and so were we. The must sees are the Atlantis exhibit, the Apollo Center, the Heroes and Legends exhibit and the bus tour. We only had one day to visit and we managed to see all the major exhibits
This is a must see and highly recommended.
Atlantis Is a MUST see!! It is one of the greatest attractions we've ever seen. The Apollo/Saturn V experience is amazing. You can also touch the moon.
