So much to do and see at the Kennedy Space Center. If you want to see and experience every thing, you'll need all day. Go to the Shuttle experience first or else you'll spend all day in queues. There is a but. There needs to be much clearer info about when the gates open and when the site itself opens. If people are self positioning, the gates open at 08:00. Also, the tickets issued need to swapped at the Center but the numbers issued don't match anything on the KSC's systems. Fortunately, a name search found us.

Great day. Had lunch with an astronaut, followed by an extended bus tour (we were the only ones on the tour so we had our very own private tour). Lots to do and see. Worth the trip from Orlando area.

We planned our visit not knowing that a launch was going to take place on that day. Car parking was $10 but there was no supervisors or transfer to the entrance. We passed through bag search and purchased our tickets and were surprised that we didn’t have to pay full price but put that down to the fact that there was no busses to take you to the launch pad.. We looked at one attraction but had to pay extra for that so we went to the imax screening which was very interesting. We tried to buy food but the queues were extremely long with no guarantee of a table as people seemed to have eaten and staying put until the launch. Restrooms were smelly and the ice cream seller didn’t have vanilla ice cream or Orio.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. I'm assuming that you booked our Kennedy Space Center Ticket Only option. A memo did go out to all of our guest who booked the Ticket Only option. This memo states that there will be a rocket launch on Wednesday, July 24, 2019. We suggest visiting Kennedy Space Center’s website for updates and advised arriving early as on launch days there will be more visitors than on normal days. Kennedy Space Center can be very busy on launch dates and has filled to capacity in the past. We also did advise that the tickets that have been sent to you is not date specific and can be used on another date if you wish. If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to us!
