Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Reviews

Visited end of December 2020.
Spent $250 to take four of us to KSC. So disappointed. Only a few attractions open. Tours and space training closed. Having attractions closed made the open attractions even more crowded. One of the three small restaurants closed. Felt like we were walking through Tomorrow Land at Disney with obnoxious loud music in plaza area.
Again, so disappointed and disgusted. Left early.

Wow...!
One day is not enough to see everything. Be sure to join the bus tour, as you can see a lot more, including a Saturn 5 racquet - huge things ...

First time for us to visit the space center. It is really cool. A lot of information about space related stuff. Do not forget to go on the bus ride to drive up closer to the actual rocket launch platforms and the Saturn 5 visitor center which is really impressive!

Disneyland for Adults. Well actually adults who have an interest in science, space, exploration, life beyond earth and all that good stuff. NASA has partnered with state-of-the-art design, production and cenimatography creators and presented some of the most epic and unique presentations. Great fun for everyone who visits.

You'd need at least 2 days, may be 3, to see everything. Tip on buying the tickets. Instead of getting the 2 day pass, get the annual pass. It will include parking.

I urge every parent to being thier child here. You and your kids will have the best time of your lives while learning so many new things. Singles or couples without kids, come on now.. don't you want to get smarter and sound smarter around people? Get your boots in here. I promise you will be mesmerized at what science has been able to achieve and what it's looking to achieve!

Please, Visit!

Space nut or not this is an incredible experience. Seeing an actual Apollo rocket as well as an entire space shuttle is something that is not available anywhere else on earth. This is a world class attraction.

Very interesting if you like science. The trip from Orlando is 1 hour to Cape Canaveral and is to be all day.
If you go with young children, they can get bored, regardless of the fact that there is a playground for the little ones.

It was okay but not what we expected, especially with the admission cost.

Always I dreamt of going there and standing there was very auspicious for me hope you will love it too

Great but a lot of people, bus tours were already booked in the morning

I enjoy taking my friends here, so much to do and see

The place is definitely interesting, and if it were a $25 entrance fee, I'd definitely give it four or five stars. But for $61 per person, it's a bit steep for what you get.

It's just difficult to take in that they actually got these things off the ground never mind into space!

An ok day out. If you have a real interest in the NASA space program and its history, you will probably really enjoy a visit. If you have no interest, you might be a little bored.

An exciting adventure for the whole family. Unlike going to a theme park, there's good food available for a fairly reasonable price too. If you have children interested in the final frontier, this needs to be on your family vacation shortlist.

There's a lack of direction; there's a lack of parking attendants & there was nobody around to help with information; good luck trying to get around in here even with a map. I understand there's some secrecy with some of the operations but I think there were other opportunities to let people get in and around the buildings and actually see and maybe feel and look at astronaut outfits and spaceships. the Atlantis museum was fantastic that was done very well.

Place that evidences the tenacious work of the human being to conquer space

Good film animations, presented for children and exciting

Awesome. Great experience. A lot of history. Very clean, organized and activities for all members of the family.

Excellent place, just some attractions closed due to covid. No bus tours, thats the biggest lost now. But a good place to pass your day. Nice workers and looks clean.

Hours of entertainment and many hands on stations to explore. Kids and adults had a great time. Food service was priced well, gluten free options are available and food taste fresh and flavorful.

Been here over 2.5 hours and haven't seen much yet. Spent all that time standing in line... for tickets... for security... for a bag check... for the bus ride. My advice, don't go on a Friday during the school year. I think every school within an hour's drive was here today for a field trip! Hopefully we will get to see and learn more once we finally board the bus. The only restrooms I have seen were outside the entrance. The will call counter was slow, but mostly due to all of the school groups and people who did not print out their vouchers.

You have to really like NASA and the historical side to like it. Otherwise it is a beautiful place and worth a visit. I wish there were more activities to do than watch.

Loved Apollo and Atlantis but the rest is aimed at kids... I'd have loved it 40 years ago.

Few of them were open. Few movies here and there but because of covid-19 every thing felt a bit lame.

Price to enter is still full price although 80% of things to do or see are closed. Very disappointed.

History, exploration and inspiration are the touchpoints for KSC. For the space need and the casual science fan, KSC has something unique to offer. There is, after all, only one Atlantis - and only one place to see her.

I live in Washington state and enjoyed my time here. Was worth going to it

Awesome, fantastic, and terrific! Great tours and very interesting artifacts and displays. A must see.

This place has no idea if it s a theme park or a museum. My boyfriend and I went under the impression that it would be like a museum and struggled to find anything to look at or do. The layout of this place makes no sense as everything is divided into random buildings and you have to take a bus to get to most of them. I don t know how nasa figures the best way to transport large amounts of people is by bus!?! Once you wait in the long line to get on the bus it brings you to a building where you basically just watch movies. You have to watch a movie to then be rushed into the next room where artifacts are on display. However because the whole theatre has just entered this room it is crowded and impossible to look at anything. Would never ever ever go back here save your money.

Thanks for the experience of stepping on and seeing part of NASA and other historical issues.

The space center is a lot of fun. Worth the drive. Lots to see.

Kennedy Space Center is a great place to visit on vacation while in Florida. The best part is the bus ride tour over to the Apollo Space Center. There is a lot of history and really cool sites to see. It's super interactive and really enjoyable. The price is really reasonable compared to other things to do in the area. The only complaint would be that they make you watch videos before each of the exhibits. It's a good thing because it gives you all the history but it did get a little annoying after a while.

Very good facilities, great the halls of the heroes and the atlantis. The feeding possibilities seemed very limited, but it is a great place to visit and learn.

This was like taking a step back into history. It had spaceships/modules from many flights into space displayed so that you could see what went into making them. The finished product of the Apollo spaceship including the tiles they created to withstand space and the pressure of lift-off - just amazing! This is well worth your time, if you are around Orlando.

Unmissable visit. An open-air museum, passionate about space and the universe. Highlight the large number of seniors who work on the premises and take care of everything.

Very very impressive! I'd recommend getting there early! (I got there @ 8:30 and that wasn't any too early!) Do the bus tour first!! They drive you right by the launch pads were the astronauts that went to the moon left right from these launch pads! You'll spend half a day @ the Saturn 5 building. Then I'd recommend going back and going to the Atlantis building! It is very impressive. You get to see the real space shuttle that helped carry astronauts into space!! The real thing!! Then watch the IMAX 3D show. There is other things to do here as well! It is well worth the money! Well worth the money!! If you have never been here, the next time you are in Florida definitely go!! If you go during the tourist season be prepared for extremely long lines! Definitely plan on spending a minimum of a full day here!!

There was a lot of good information most of it what's in the theaters however the lines were too long even on a Monday. I did feel that the Movie presentations especially on the Legends of Heroes was too long for small children in elementary school. I think they should have more interactive displays. It was very expensive for families to attend to learn about NASA.

Very interesting museum. Interactive games. For whole family.

As someone who grew up with the space race and everyone my age wanting to be an astronaut, this really was a dream come true. It was great to see history come alive and here the plans for the future of space travel. Made a special visit back two days later to see the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket. Awesome experience.

Save your money. Nothing good is open. They do give you an extra ticket good til next year. If you still have to go Do not buy the guided tour. It s $53 v $32. They still give you the free ticket w the $32 option. When all is open I will give it 5 stars but not now.

Was a dream come true to find a chance to see Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center. We paid for the exclusive bus tour and as space fans we were not disappointed. All the spectacle and theme parking is vastly overshadowed by the real deal. The actual VAB and the crawling pads and the launch areas. The Atlantis and the Saturn V on display had me drop jawed not expecting the real things to somehow look more impressive in person. I will be telling people about this experience for a lifetime.

If you're in Florida you absolutely must make at least a day available for visiting the Kennedy Space Centre.

It may sound like "organised fun" but it pays to plan ahead. Take the bus tour as early as possible.

There's a free bus tour with a video guide, but we paid for the KSC Explore bus tour which has a live tour guide (ours was a retired NASA engineer whose claim to fame was being the guy who did the countdowns).

The Explore tour also includes three stops. One is at a quite remote set of bleacher seats used for launch viewing, the next at the launch complex 39 viewing gantry and the last one at an observation camera site close to the launch pads. They're about as "up close and personal" as the operation of the space center allows.

Everything about the Visitor Complex is well staged and well curated. It may feel like it's managed more like a theme park but there is something for everyone.

Most of the attractions were "Closed for health reasons" due to COVID. What little that was available was really nice. Hopefully after Nov 3rd we can see things back to normal!

Regular. It is not possible for one to spend 250 dollars for the family to go to see the exhibitions and not leave us entrance to anything because it was full. That's a scam, they should return the money. And finally they canceled the launch. Summary ? More than $ 300 to see the replicas of rockets and nothing more. FRAUD!

Very nice place to visit, you can learn a lot of about American heroes. If you want to see everything and don't rush you need to start very early in the morning

Arrived with great excitement to explore and learn, but due to weather, a launch had been rescheduled for the same day. As a consequence, the shuttle bus out to the main HQ was cancelled from around 1pm for all subsequent visitors due to More

Very cool tribute to the heroes of our space program

Visited here for a work event in February, 2019. Beautiful facility with all the history of the space shuttles through the years. Unfortunately the pods can be miles away for launching due to safety. But they have replicas you can see and a museum with the actual shuttle and opened to see all the space they have.

Definitely an educational experience, but beware prices for admission can be quite pricey.

Great experience! It's a must see! Great for the whole family.

Too commercial to my taste. Films for those who likes them. I miss action. Spaceshuttle is great to see live

Excellent tour with great attractions, and no muvuca.

It was cool, but there was no real sense of chronological order or the space program evolution. It was based around entertaining the kids rather than educating. There were cool exhibits, but there wasn't much that I learned over and above what I already knew. For the price.......not recommended. That's too bad too because we were really excited to visit.

A historical place with many attractions and very safe, now because of the covid19, so if you want to have a good time with your family, this is a very good option.

We went for the satellite launch, but it was delayed. The staff was extremely friendly and we got to see so many amazing pieces of space history. A definite must go to for any space and/or history fan.
