It was very fun and exciting experience. The launch simulator is something for sure to see. The bus tour is also very good and they do a great job on explaining all the different places with interactive activities. The whole park is fun and awesome!

Witnessed my first rocket launch! Worth paying extra to see it from LC-39 gantry (5.5km from launch vehicle). Lots of historical displays and mockups. Atlantis exhibit is a must see.
The annual pass is a no brainer, if you live in Florida.

I went on one of the last days of man's 50th birthday celebration. It was quite full, we arrived just before opening and already had enough queue. We caught some rain but it did not disturb the visit.
The tour appeals to all types of people by showing such different things. The size of the Saturn V rocket is monstrous so giant and no picture lives up to it, just personally to be aware, it's amazing! The Atlantis space shuttle is also beautiful to see.
In addition to these main attractions there is also plenty of interactive stuff to learn more about missions and work.
It has several souvenir shops. Although there are a lot of expensive things, you can't leave without at least one keychain or fridge magnet, but there is plenty of variety.

My husband is space obsessed. I thought this would be "his day" and maybe I'd find it okay. I was so wrong-it was amazing!! So much to see, lots of interactive stuff and the space simulator (not sure what it's called but now we joke with the kid that we have been to space) was very cool!
I even like the caff food

We were there 25 years ago. Upgrades were pleasant and thought out. Information was relevant and updated with paying tribute to the past space explorations that have been accomplished. There was a retired NASA specialist on hand to offer informal information to just about any question you could have. So much to see, and I enjoyed showing the next generation this very important place. I did wish there was more information on the current use of the center. SpaceX and Green Origin should get their program included to the center.

Just go and experience this fascinating place, even if you don't like rockets or Space, this will be a memorable occasion to see. Give yourself plenty of time, aim to spend a full day here to see everything

Amazing!!

Great place to learn about space race history and if you are into the science behind rockets, shuttles and sending animals and people into space.

I found the early space tour in Cape Canaveral to be very educational and learned a lot about the past and future of space exploration. Food was a bit overpriced but it is expected at this place and tasted fairly decent. You can probably bring your own food and snacks but be prepared to lug them around as there is a lot of walking and many things to do, just as if you would at an amusement park.

Gift shop was not expensive and quite affordable, with a great variety of items, ranging from keychains to toys and many clothing items.

The tour guides and early space educators were very professional and informative and I was never bored. I am into history and science so their expertise was appreciated. They are retired men and women from the air force, etc who now volunteer to make sure visitors from all over the world leave well informed. Kudos and many thanks and blessings to them as they once served their country and continue to do so. They are in my eyes what makes this place great to visit.

One of the hidden jewels an hour away from Orlando, the Kennedy Space Center is jam packed with history, science and technology in a family friendly way.

This place is so inspirational, your visit may help spur your little one to become an astronaut someday! The Atlantis Shuttle exhibit alone is worth the visit.

Inside the exhibit is the space shuttle itself, hanging from the ceiling with its bay doors open. It is so awe inspiring, for a few of us, you may feel as if something is stuck in your eye.

Additionally, you can feel what liftoff is like in The Shuttle Launch Experience. A great ride for those who dare to go! It's pretty safe unless you have major hip or back issues.

There is the memorial for those who have lost their lives on the Columbia and Challenger shuttles that is touching, as each family has displayed mementos of the astronauts.

There is an option that you can upgrade your ticket for lunch with an astronaut, too.

The visit really needs a full day to take advantage of all the tours, videos and exhibits. The annual pass is a great value too.

Food options are varied and reasonably priced compared to other nearby attractions.

So if you're in central Florida and the weather is not good enough for a day at the attractions and you're looking for something to do for you and your kids, take the Beachline Freeway and within an hour your imagination will soar into the heavens.

What a fun time at the Kennedy Space Center! Every minute spent there was worth the time. The day we went it rained but that didn't matter there is do much inside to see we didn't feel love were missed a thing. The only thing I would do differently is get there earlier. We arrived at noon could have used another two hours to see everything. Go See!

This place is so awesome! If your a total space nerd (like me) you'll LOVE this place. Actually both places, because closer to the launch pads there's a 2nd building with a MASSIVE Saturn V rocket! Yes it's real, and there are only 2 left in existence. Even if you aren't a space nerd, you will be by the time you leave! Back at the main complex there are enough things to keep you busy for 2 days. If you only have 1 day, make sure to go to the IMAX theater then head over to the Atlantis building. Want to see a real shuttle? It's there! Want to feel what it's like to ride in it? They have a 1 of a kind shuttle simulator that will do just that!! I'm going back so I can see/do all the little things I missed. You will NOT regret it!

Unbelievable experience. I wasn't excited to go here but so glad I did. Had an amazing time.....really makes you feel small and in wonderment of space. We got to see a launch which was scary and exciting all at once. Everything about this place was cool. Only negative is that 10 different staff gave us 10 different answers about locations and times of events. They all need to get on the same page

I loved everything in particular the heroes area. Expressing the meaning, values and persistence of a person who is passionately delivered in his belief. These astronauts along with their relatives have made a contribution to current cybernetic intelligence in one way or another.

I just wanted to give a shout-out to Greg for his help on the phone with extending our pass to a multi-day stay. The reflections and personal experience from astronaut Winston Scott too was quite inspiring.

Don't like when you have to pay to park anywhere, was 10$ when we went (which is still cheap to other places) food was over priced like expected but wasn't terrible. But man, the attractions were very cool, informative, and interactive. They need to fix some of the little activities though and we went during COVID so a lot was closed (don't blame them but was a bummer). I don't think its possible to do everything in one day though, soooo much to see and learn. Admission price wasn't terrible maybe mid-high, I would recommend going at least once for sure, just know its not Disney or anything, more like an interactive museum.

It is a dream place. Knowing in person the story of so many heroes and geniuses who intervened in all the space adventures was something really overwhelming. The place is very beautiful, very organized, the treatment of the people who work there was too special, it shows the love with which they work. Do not miss the tour to the site of assembly and launch of space missions, see in person to Saturn V and Atlantis. It's something that I will always remember

Absolutley loved it here, the history, the innovation and the knowledge was fantastic. So much to see and do, and so many interactive things to do. Whether you like space or not, an amazing place to spend the day.

I ve been to this Kennedy space Center every year for 2 years now. There is so much to do their you never get bored. Things are a bit expensive but then again any theme park or public experience area is over priced. This place is great you can meet an astronaut , touch a moon rock, see Atlantis, watch movies about mars, do a simulation and the list goes on forever. Anyone around the area do check it out for sure !

They keep their outside restrooms closed saying there are plumbing issues and then people can't go inside unless you buy tickets and there is a long queue for that. So if anyone needs to go to the restroom after a long drive has to buy tickets first and then go inside. A very expensive restroom stop

Ksc represents the beating heart of the American space presence. The company that developed and runs it has done a good job in creating a place that educates and hopefully inspires The next generation. Fair warning, a lot of the coolest things to,do here are upcharges

Kennedy Space Center has a wealth of history and knowledge to share. I love that the idea no matter what gender,ethnicity, or race you can be who you want to be. The bus tour is a nice ride where you can learn great facts from past to present regarding astronomy and space travels. My child and I participated in dine with an astronaut. We were able to hear first hand from an astronant about his experiences. The center holds actual rocket lauches at certain times of the month.The grounds are well kept, ample parking, not too large of a place so it's not overwhelming, and surrounded by beautiful protected wildlife/ wildlife habitats such as the bald eagle.

The most amazing experience. What this men did was incredible. Reaching the moon in the 60/70s... but beeing able to see it, the equipment, the ships, the story, that is the heart of what we have now.

Unfortunately, I went there during the quarantine and a lot of the activities were unavailable. There were a lot of cool things to look at though. I would recommend getting a guided tour as they have a lot of fun facts about the displays that makes it more enjoyable if you are going to come during quarantine. It makes up for a lack of activities.

One of best education experiences around. We spent 2 days at KSC with a 10 year old. Ate in park both days, recommend bringing your own water. Pic nic tables outside , so u can bring sandwiches & eat under shade trees. Might b less busy at food vinue at Apollo center. Salads & chicken & fries were good, but alittle pricey, but not funded by tax dollars. So much to do, 2 days recommended. Don't miss guided missle garden, Atlantis, & apollo center & bus tour. From a mechanical & engineering angle this place is out of this world. Visual effects were awesome. Be prepared to walk . Meet the astroaunt was Worth the effert . Mars encounter is interesting to c future plans. NASA history & future is an envey to many organizations & nation's. We enjoyed our trip, & highly recommend it.

I would not recommend going here. It was way overpriced! $200 for 4 people and there isn't that much there to make it worth the money. The place was nice and some things were cool to look at but I wouldn't spend more than $20 for a visit to see what I saw.

It is really amazing to see this site where we find all the history of the space and its conquest by the Americans to cor absolutely the price and 57 dollars with the bus to see the whole site bon voyage
