Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral

Orlando, United States of America

Kennedy Space Center is like an Orlando-style space-travel theme park - only it's real! It's a great day out for the whole family, and only 45 minutes from Orlando. You'll need to plan on spending at least a full day to explore NASA's launch headquarters, located on a huge island wildlife refuge eight times the size of Manhattan.

Choose admission to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, or go for the Space Pass.

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Admission
This includes the Kennedy Space Center tour of NASA's launch headquarters, Shuttle Launch Experience, astronaut encounter, two IMAX films (Space Station 3-D and Magnificent Desolation), all shows and exhibits, and a visit to the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame. This pass allows you entrance into the Astronaut Hall of Fame over two within a seven day period.

Space Pass Plus:
This package gives you everything in the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Admission, plus you can have lunch with an astronaut and take the Kennedy Space Center up-close tour and visit the vehicle assembly building to see where rockets are built (reservations required). The pass can also be used over two consecutive days within a seven day period.

Please see below for all attraction descriptions.

It was a good trip.. The place is nice although it is sad to see things winding down due to lack of funding.

I didn´t appreciate at all being seated with my back facing the presentation, during lunch time ... Surprising isn´t it ?

Excellent trip,shuttle launch simulator was brillant.

A wonderful day spent at the Space Center - not at all busy, and no queues waiting for busses or the ride, which was great._br/_ The Space Shuttle Lift-off experience was awesome, and we always enjoy the i-Max shows. Highly recommemded, and much better value for money than Disney and Universal

Better than both Disney World and Disneyland!

The space center was nice.

Even though we were only there for one day, we thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Review by: Metina R	April 2011
Ticket price was great. It was a really enjoyable experience the kids also loved it. A highlight of our trip to Orlando and something different to do instead of a theme park . The only thing we did not like was the cost of the photos and the pushy people selling it and overcharging us deliberately. We felt like they had made a mistake and when we questioned it they said we had ordered the cd which we had not but then advised us that they were unable to provide us with a refund then set about explaining the onerous process required to get the overcharged portion refunded which required going to another office at the other side of the park. I expect many people like us never end up getting there money back. It makes you wonder whether it is a deliberate ploy to extract more money from people involuntarily. It put a bit of a sour taste in our mouth after what had been a really great day.

Really worth a visit. Definately go back the second day. there is so much to see. Also included in the entry price is Astronaut Hall of Fame. _br/_ Well worth the money.

Go soon as this american marvel will be shut down soon and then just commercialized with less emphasis on education. The 3D I max of the Hubble telescope is the most awesome thing I have ever seen on screen (and I have seen a lot).

I paid all and was expecting to meet talk and eat with an austronaut but they told me it was full

Enjoyed a great day, fun and unformative.

Not very impressed with the self guided tour. Took to long to see very little

Review by: Jeanne P	October 2010
One day was good, two days was wonderful. This is a part of our heritage, and I am so glad that we had the opportunity to take our grandsons. This facility is professionally run, everyone was extremely helpful and very friendly, even when they had to replace a ticket that I lost! The IMAX movies are not to be missed. Have pictures taken of your kids or grandkids "in space" - what a thrill for them. Did I say we loved it? We took the tour 24 years ago, did as much as we could this time, and we will be back with more kids. I am so proud of our country's accomplishments, and thankful that they are so professionally shared with all of us. My one suggestion - make tour tapes in various foreign languages. It would have helped our son-in-law.

America you should be proud of this Centre. You need two days to do justice to all the exhibits here.

Review by: Gerald C	October 2010
Must be 10 years since we last included KSC - our teenages kids lost interest - but it was great to go back and also enjoy some new experiences and updates of older ones.

Review by: ANDREW B	October 2010
Great value - 2 days for one price. Space SHuttle simulator experience a must do.

Review by: Kim H	September 2010
Unfortunately we ran out of time to complete this tour, but was impressed with the size of the place

Review by: David R	September 2010
Wow what a great place, we planned to spend two hours and spent five hours and still did not see everything. This is a great day out and is recommended for everyone even if you don't have an interest in space it will still amaze you.

Review by: Richard J H	August 2010
Loved the bus tour to apprecaite the size. Fascinating.

Review by: Anonymous	June 2010
It was interesting, not really something I would do again if given the choice. If you were one of those kids who wanted to be an astronaut as a kid, then do it.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	March 2010
So worth doing, but you really need to spend at least a whole day there.

Review by: Glen S	March 2010
The tour was okay but I thought I was getting more than we actully recieved.

Review by: Tracy V	March 2010
It was worth going to see it, but I would not go again.

Review by: Daya P	March 2010
The info on your web site was misleading, you mentioned that the tickets I bought has regular price of 80.00, but in fact at the gate it was 38.00, a 2.00 cheaper the what you charged me, so stop misleading people by pumping up the regular price so people will think they are getting better deal, but in fact they would do better if they bought it from source then you.

Review by: Audrey B, Canada	February 2010
Great experience. A little disappointed with the lunch with the astronaut. The astronaut only spoke for a few minutes.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	February 2010
Almost got to see a rocket launch, but the winds delayed it til the next day. Great trip.

A very interesting experience.

Review by: Urban N, United States of America	January 2010
The Kennedy Space center is a fascinating documentation of the greatest technical achievement of all time. Especially the Apollo and Saturn V exhibition, it is off the scale!

AWESOME!

Review by: Anthony M, United Kingdom	August 2009
Good tours around the facility. Try to time it within a couple of weeks of a launch to see the Shuttle on the launch pad. The Saturn 5 display for the Apollo missions is a must. Excellent facilities too!

Review by: Eileen M, United Kingdom	August 2009
Interesting and educational and inspirational day.

Review by: Karen H, Australia	July 2009
Great tour, well worth doing. Did find it initially difficult to get transport to Kennedy Space Center. Our resort organized transport for us. If we had booked for a different day we would not have been able to get there and therefore forfeited ticket.

Review by: Sandra K, United States of America	July 2009
The bus tour was really fun. We took lots of pictures. Some of the drivers were more talkative that others and gave more information during the ride. We loved being able to depart the bus and stay as long as we wanted at the different stops.

Review by: Kristina F	July 2009
It was interesting, the guides good.

Review by: Christy W, United States of America	June 2009
It was a great experience for the whole family. The two-day admission for one-day price was very helpful. We were able to do some of the sites on one day and come back to enjoy the rest of it without being totally exhausted.

Review by: Hardy B	June 2009
We timed to coincide with orbital launch but the mission was delayed with the hydrogen leak, wouldn't you know it! Still if interested in this stuff a delightful trip. It's also 40 miles from Orlando so plan ahead and take the day.

Review by: Anonymous, Israel	May 2009
We absolutely loved it!

Review by: Christopher M, United Kingdom	April 2009
Truly awesome.

Review by: Susan M	March 2009
The space center was very interesting. You should allow a full day to tour. Ensure there is not a launch on the day of your visit since there are three facilities that necessitate a bus to visit in addition to the main facility. On launch days, all bus tours are canceled. Overall, a worthwhile trip.

Review by: Hans L, Sweden	November 2008
We had a really good day at Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. Planning to visit the KSC two days. We cannot keep up with all in a day.

Review by: Michelle G, United Kingdom	August 2008
Excellent and very interesting.

Review by: Clive P, United Kingdom	March 2008
Absolutely wonderful. We watched the launch of the shuttle, awesome!

Review by: Erica B, Australia	January 2008
Spent 4 hours there, which felt like 4 minutes. Could have spent a whole day. So much to see and do. Well presented, a huge amount of memorabilia and information. Makes you want to become an astronaut. A must do in Florida!
