What To Expect

NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex

Your Kennedy Space Center tour begins after an approximate 45-minute drive from Orlando. From the Visitor Complex, view rockets from all eras of space exploration in the Rocket Garden, and see an actual Gemini program capsule on display in Early Space Exploration. Walk beneath a massive Saturn V rocket, one of the most powerful ever built, at the Apollo/Saturn V Center and relive Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon and experience the thunderous rumble of a rocket lift-off! Continue with two IMAX space movies viewed on five-story screens – IMAX® A Beautiful Planet and Journey To Space 3D, which takes you on a virtual trip to the International Space Station. Check out the Astronaut Encounter to hear actual astronauts discuss their experiences and get photos of these heroes.

Space Shuttle Atlantis

Don't miss the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, where more than 60 interactive experiences highlight the people, passion and patriotism behind NASA’s Space Shuttle program, which launched the Hubble Space Telescope and built the International Space Station. See what it's like to be a real astronaut! Take the helm at the shuttle cockpit; experience the sensation of floating in space; explore a replica of the ISS; and experience the sights, sounds and sensations of a shuttle launch! Travelers can take a private guided tour of the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit for no additional charge.

U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame

In the Apollo/Saturn V Center, relive the wonder and excitement of the Apollo era in this one-of-a-kind exhibit that celebrates the unprecedented achievement of putting a man on the moon and the joy that was realized in that moment around the world. Also, take a bus tour past some of the most iconic NASA landmarks. Meet a veteran NASA astronaut at the Astronaut Encounter Show. Visit the impressive Rocket Garden, featuring the first rocket to break free from gravity, and honor NASA’s fallen heroes at the 'Heroes and Legends' exhibit featuring the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame®. Then learn more about what it takes to explore Mars at Journey to Mars: Explorers Wanted. Finish your day by boarding a full-size Space Shuttle mock-up and strap in for a virtual launch into space on the Shuttle Launch Experience. Orbit the earth in this awesome simulation replicating the sights, sounds and feelings of an authentic shuttle launch. Tour Options: Ugrade your tour to have lunch with an actual astronaut! Sit down for a meal with a member of NASA's Astronaut Corps and ask everything you ever wanted to know about what it's like to be in space. Or choose Space Pass Plus, which combines all of the above with a guided tour to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), NASA Causeway and A/B Camera Stop and a look at the countdown clock at Press Site, a crawler transporter used to move Apollo moon rockets and the Operations and Checkout building.

It was a great trip to the Kennedy Space Center, our driver was so good, he explained everything clear with jokes and I have spent my time there so good.
The bus was comfortable, easy to reach it and always on time.
Thanks guys for you gave me that privilege to be there with you

All went wrong with the tour - the waiting time was long, the guide didn't give much information on what will be going on during the tour, what to expect and where to go. We waited first for the bus (late by 15 minutes) and then for the guide to obtain tickets for us at the Center (another half hour), and then the guide left us after waiving to us in which direction to go... and then after the tour there was a tiresome journey back home which lasted for 2,5 hours instead of 45 minutes as had been announced! The Center itself is awesome, really worth visiting, but definitely NOT with that company. We regret we didn't go there on our own.

Our family really enjoyed this trip. The whole place provides really amazing experience. Best to head to the KSC bus tour once you get there in the morning as the queue got really bad in the afternoon. We spent a lot of time in the Atlantis building upon arrival, queued for almost an hour for the bus tour to launching site and by the time we got there we had to join the queue back to the main building so as not to miss our 4pm return bus.
Pete, our driver was friendly and knows his stuff. I called the local agent really late to set the pick up location but they were kind enough and was able to compromise on a nearer location to us. Worth the value! Just make sure you dont miss the bus back, a family on our bus did!!
