Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Reviews

Can't wait to go back with my kids! The rocket garden was neat!

It's pricey, but if you have a space-lover in your family it is a must-visit attraction. I didn't realize how expansive add immersive this place is. There are things for every after group, and don't miss the Atlantis Experience. It is amazing to behold.

Absolutely great day out. It was on our must do in Florida list and we were not disappointed.

We were expecting a center more like Johnson Space Center or the Air and Space Museum. What we got was more like a theme park. 90% of what is offered in the main visitor complex is something on a screen. This is probably fun for kids, but not fun if you were expecting to see actual space memorabilia. Many of the buildings have staging areas, just like Disney, for example when we wanted to see the Saturn V and the Atlantis, you have to sit through two videos first. It took 30 minutes just to get into the building. And once you were in it, again, 90% of what you saw was on a screen. We finally found a nook that promised moon rocks and prototype space suits...and again, go through the staging area and movie first. The Challenger and Columbia memorials...more movies. The wait lines were punishing. It took more than an hour just to get into the gates, and that was with tickets booked in advance. The campus is sprawling and everything is in separate buildings, so lots of waiting in punishing heat. It is definitely catered to the Disney crowd. We were there for one whole day, and due to all the staging areas, only saw half the complex.

I thought it was awesome,. If I have one complaint it would be that it was a bit more kid friendly. I have 4 kids under the age of 10 and I found there wasn't a ton of stuff for them to do, slot of movies and informational videos. Don't get me wrong it was all really interesting, just the kids got a little stir crazy at times.

Cannot begin to explain how much fun this place is. You just have to go. While we were there we saw a rocket launch at night. No words to describe how beautiful it was. There is so much to do for all ages. They even have a fun slide. I'm 69 and yes I walked all over and did the slide. So much fun I have a year pass my daughter bought.

Nice place really interesting, educational, and historical. Great bus tour. Not any employees in the park to help with questions.

It was good. We came on a Monday, 12/7 and a lot of the venues were not open. We paid I think $58 entry fee per person but wondered if that rate reflected the non-access venues. The venues we did see were wonderful......damn corona virus

Several places closed, but 4 stars because they re giving out complementary tickets to come back in 2021

Very nice day in the center, in this period of February no queue so very significant. We started with the bus tour which is the longest "attraction" and which leaves us on our way to the magnificent Saturn Center. Then return to the complex for the rest of the visit. Atlantis is impressive. Only downside the iMax theaters were under construction ...

Definitely a must do for any space lover! This place was awesome and we couldn't even finish in one full day! Only issues were finding staff members on site to ask questions and the Dine with an Astronaut was not what we were expecting and no one was able to guide us to where we needed to go as the map was incorrect. If you are expecting something intimate this is not what it it, You're in a room with about 100 other people. Food is ok. And you are lucky if you are able to ask the astronaut a question. Luckily the astronaut came and sat in my chair at the table so my boyfriend who I wanted to be able to talk to him was able to do so. That made it worth it. All together we had a blast!!

A little pricey for what you get to see which is very little right now with covid.

This is a unique treat in FL and the USA. To see where we have come from to where we are now is incredible. I would recommend taking a tour on the bus. We purchased the Explore Tour and were lucky enough to see a SpaceX Falcon 9 on launchpad 39A. We will definitely be going back to take the Early Space Tour. Take your time and give yourself 4-6 hours if you would like to really take it all in. Hopefully you will be lucky and get to see a rocket on one of the launch pads. The Apollo/Saturn V Center is a great bonus to an already terrific day.

A must visit when visiting the Kennedy Space Centre.

Kennedy Space Center was very educational on the knowledge of space. I enjoyed it very much. I recommend it highly . A lot to see.

There is no word to describe this place !!!! We are always in the mood

Great place and amazing displays, were had a nice time at the complex. The entrance traffic pattern is horrible; not enough seating while waiting outside at some displays for those with limited standing ability.

I could spend DAYS here.

My most recent visit to the space center included a trip to the LC-39 launch observation gantry to see a SpaceX rocket launch, a KSC Explore Tour, a visit to the Heroes and Legends attraction and the Astronaut Hall of Fame. All of these attractions were fantastic and I had never seen them before.

As great as all those things were, I spent most of my time at the Saturn 5 center and the Atlantis Space Shuttle exhibit. There is so much to see and learn and enjoy.

I cannot imagine a trip to Florida that doesn't include at least one day at NASA!

Displays very good with knowledgeable guides. Some areas not open due to covid. Get in line early for imax as seating as limited.

Stunning! Each and every bit of KSC exhibitions and tours is absolutely fantastic!

Excellent is a large park many things to see and learn.

I don't even have words to describe just how cool this place is! The tours are cool, the exhibits are awesome, and I highly suggest you go if you're ever in that area! However, the price is very costly, and the food is adequate. Other than that, I wish I could give more than just five stars!

Awesome experience at Kennedy Space Center, and Cape Canaveral launch pads. The bus tour alone was worth the price if admission. Go early(9:00am) a plan to stay a few hours. So much to do and see. Then take the (free) tour bus out to the restricted to the public launch pads. See where all of the Space Shuttles were launched. Definitely worth the $60 admission for all you get. We will be going again.

I don't believe I have ever been star-struck in my life until I came face-to-face with the space shuttle Atlantis, so close that I could very nearly touch it. The whole Kennedy Space Centre is full of experiences like this, from Atlantis to the actual console (not a replica) used for the Apollo launches to the (real and very enormous) Saturn V rocket suspended just just above your head (again, almost touching distance) in the Apollo exhibit, to the tour of the launch site we have all seen on TV so often. You can even touch a bit of real moon-rock. It is worth paying for the guided bus tour to have the knowledgeable and entertaining guide tell you all about the history of the site and what is going on right now. It was a really thrilling visit and I'll be back again the next chance I get.

A great place to spend the day, but lacked a bit more technology in the attractions.

Awesome. Well beyond your expectations. Spend several days. Not just one.

Enjoyable visit, plenty to see and do. Wish there was a better map of what was available.

Magnificent, a journey through the history of man to space. The race to conquer the moon, a journey through time and the search for innovations for the exploration of the galaxy. And most importantly, the steps towards Mars!

Great for the kids. Not Disney level, but still great

Great place to visit, so much to see. Great for kids!

Had a wonderful day! It's an experience...the level of epcot. I never expected it to be so nice! I thought it was something more like a museum, but it is really much more.

A lot has changed since I went in elementary... but it is amazing! I went for my kids' homeschooling group. They had a cool project to make.

We had a great time but it was vary experience, might have been worth it if it was all up and running. They gave us free entry till next year but that doesn t do us any good, we don t live hear and the changes of us coming back are limited. If they were willing to do that they just should have reduced the rate. If they re changing full rate I would just avoid it all together. It s just not at all a good value. Feel ripped off!!!!

Some locations were not operating (Due to COVID). Overall. Was awesome. They gave me a ticket to come back next year.

Great. Very visual. Great simulator. Little movies that explain. Everything is cool

Really great! But you should plan a lot of time.
The major attractions (such as IMAX) are all included in the entrance fee. Therefore, you often have to queue for a photo in front of the NASA globe. For children there are labyrinths, simulators and all sorts of things to touch and taste.
With the bus one is driven directly to the starting ramps and the actual Kenedy space center. There you can get out and admire various originals or 1: 1 models of spacecraft.
All buildings are air conditioned!

Worth a trip for anyone, even if you aren't a space nerd

Wished we would have known so much stuff was closed due to the virus before purchasing tickets

Very beautiful place, congratulations to the researchers who made history

So it is probably receiving 3 stars because we decided to do this last minute and I didn't research much. But here goes, it took us over an hour to get parked. The gates open at 8:30(earlier than the center) be there early and be prepared to be on a two lane highway for awhile. I also suggest that you allow this visit to two days plus. With the crowds and wait times, it makes it impossible to enjoy the experience in one day. The Atlantis museum takes over two hours to tour (AWESOME, RIGHT?!) but the wait times were long. We sadly didn't get to see it. Pretty much the rocket garden, and few other exhibits along with one shoe is all we experienced for several hundred dollars. It seemed to be more of a theme park than learning experience. I get you need to raise money for our space program but, everything was additional costs to see. I wouldn't go back even with only seeing a 1/4 of the park (yes park because it does not seem like a center or museum).

IMAX movies not working, poor instructions to programs, maybe they were off their game today

It is impressive to see the rockets and the shuttle Atlantis in person. It is a very interactive park with games and simulators as well as educational. It did not make us very good weather as it rained a lot and we left things in the inkwell ... we will have to go back !!

I had the absolute greatest day of my life at KSC!! I was very fortunate to get to see the SpaceX CREW-1 launch and it absolutely blew me away. Can't wait to come back and do it again!!!

If you haven't spent a day here yet, you're surely missing out. There is so much history and information to learn about , and absolutely amazing feats of human ingenuity. If you have the time, come here during a rocket launch. It is the most amazing experience of my life, and cannot recommend it enough.

Big toys for the big boys! Space exploration history comes to life.

You can avoid the more expensive tickets and just do the 90 minute lunch tour (~$10/pp)... it's enough to see some cool things and get "a taste" for the center! :)

Everything you need to know about space exploration. Don't think you can do it all in a day, if you are a real space nerd go for the annual pass which allows you access any day for a year. We were only there for two weeks but managed to visit the space centre seven times, enough for all the info we need for my man's model building hobby.

For someone who is old enough to remember the moon landings, this visit was like a pilgrimage.
To view the rocket garden and see the launch pads was fantastic.
The Kennedy memorial was beautiful.
A great visit.

Total space nerd. Got to see the Apollo exhibit when it first opened, gives you chills. If you have the option they offer lunch with an Astronaut and special tour. Well worth it. It's an all day trip to walk through everything.

Absolutely stunning! All family loved it! There is something for everybody. Atlantis forever)

Went to see a space X launch. They still said on the website that the launch was happening. When I asked the parking attendant if it was still going to launch she said yes. The launch had been cancelled for hours !!!!! They just wanted my money ! Employees are not friendly. Most everything is shut down or being repaired. Not recommended at this time. Went to the police museum just down the road. That was good for the money and they were friendly.

Definitely worth seeing! Especially if you are only interested in history and / or space travel.
The Hall of Fame is worth a few minutes.
Also the bus tour to the Apollo Center.

Had a BLAST with the family!! .Met an Astronaut Jerry Ross and had lunch with him.

To visit absolutely.
Incredible experience, very informative

Unsafe! Packed in like sardines with no social distancing. Masks are required but no one wore them. No staff on facility to help you when needed. All excursions about 98 percent of the facilities are closed and they still charge full price. Not worth your time and money. They are not owned by NASA. Only renting the ground and building. Fake advertising!

Even during the government shutdown most attractions were open. Bring your own food...

Awesome experience for the space nerds among us. Its a bit pricey, but it does include a lot. I wish there were different passes for adults as I feel like I paid extra for some kids stuff that we didn't take part in (looking at you Mars area). Note: this review is posted during COVID, but we went before it all went down.

Beautiful! Full of history, science and looking towards the future. This is really an all day activity if you want to see it all. There is a good balance of activities, some seated and some walking, so energy levels for the kids can be maintained. Keep an eye out on the bus ride for gators, we saw three!!!

Prices were a bit steep, but the grounds and the museum were amazing!

Good place to visit but with very expensive tickets

It would appear about 45% of the Center is currently not available due to covid. What is open is very enjoyable and informative. No lines to speak of and nice easy parking. Will come back again in the future.

The way they shape history around space. All the achievements that man has made reflected in his exhibitions. So cute.

The Atlantis exhibit is one of the best exhibits in the world.

Cool place...man's entryway to the cosmos. Went during an eclipse.

Here you will find everything you need to know about the history and future of human space exploration. The actual space shuttles, capsules and Luna Rover are on display, there's also a rocket launch simulator, lots to see and explore. We enjoyed our visit, wish there was more time.

Awesome place to visit. Much preferred kennedy space centre than most of the attractions in Orlando. Can't recommend this place enough.. Go visit!!
