Very nice site to visit. Lots of history about the beginnings of NASA. With the bus tour, we got a lot of additional information on how NASA works.

Interesting, wonderful and incredible to be in the place where feats of astronauts have occurred and will continue to occur, bringing us closer to the wonders of the universe. I loved all the assembly and information to understand a part of all space explorations. Kennedy Space Center thank you for allowing us access to history.

Well nothing new i experienced as most of the stuff there I was already familiar with...What NASA is currently working on was also missing...And emphasis on Appolo mission is a long gone story...How NASA is adding value to human development was missing...Moreover guided tour did take us close to the launching pads but suggest you if someone is enthusiast then visit to the insides of the pad would be worth for lifetime....Souveneirs should not be symbolic ... they must be good enough that you adore them at office table etc...

Your experience

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.

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 transfers from Orlando are available with an upgrade for a hassle-free journey directly to the Kennedy Space Center. There is also a summer special offer that lets you grab an adult ticket for the price of a child's. It's the perfect summer deal for budget-conscious fun!
