About this tour

Spend a full day at NASA's visitor complex on Florida's Space Coast, about an hour east of Orlando. Your one-day admission gets you up close to the Space Shuttle Atlantis, under the enormous Saturn V moon rocket, and face to face with real astronaut gear and spacecraft. You can also see what it feels like to launch, meet an astronaut, and touch a piece of actual moon rock. Note the current promotion: buy an adult ticket at the child price before 18 June for visits through 18 December.

Highlights

  • Feel a shuttle launch in a simulator, meet an astronaut, and touch a real piece of moon rock.
  • Stand beneath the Saturn V, the most powerful rocket ever flown, laid out on its side.
  • See genuine astronaut gear, space artifacts, and replicas of key mission hardware.
  • Walk up to Space Shuttle Atlantis, displayed with its payload bay doors open as if still in orbit.
  • Browse the Rocket Garden, where early launch vehicles stand lined up outdoors.
  • Catch a bus across the working spaceport toward the launch pads and the giant Vehicle Assembly Building.

FAQs

Where is Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and how long should I plan to stay?
It sits on Merritt Island on Florida's Space Coast, roughly an hour's drive east of Orlando. Plan on the better part of a full day, since the site is spread out and the bus tour alone takes a good chunk of time.
What is there to see at the complex?
Highlights include Space Shuttle Atlantis up close, a real Saturn V rocket in the Apollo/Saturn V Center, the outdoor Rocket Garden, and the Heroes and Legends exhibit on the astronauts themselves.
Should I check anything before I book?
If a rocket launch is scheduled during your visit, viewing arrangements and crowds change, so it's worth checking the launch calendar first. The complex also pairs awkwardly with other Orlando attractions in one day because of the drive.
What should I bring for the visit?
Much of the complex is outdoors and Florida heat is no joke, so bring water, sun protection, and comfortable shoes for a lot of walking.
