Such incredible hope for the future on display. A fantastic tribute to the past. Get there early and take the bus tour. You get to see the massive building where they house the Space shuttle and other vehicles while preparing them for launch day. You get to see the massive vehicles that move the mobile launch pads down a specialized road to the launch areas. The tour buses are brand new and have a great video presentation that synchronizes with the tour itself. At the end of the bus tour you get to go inside a huge building with many displays including an actual Saturn rocket in its side. What an incredible spectacle. Make sure to touch the moon rock in display as well. You will then get back in the bus and make your way back to the main site. You can spend hours at all the displays and interactive exhibits. Skip Disney. Go here. You will love it.

If you are in Florida, this place is a MUST! Experience the history of space travel live, even for the little ones. For them there is space driver training at its best! Be prepared for many visitors, be early at the entrance, pack picnick! The dining facilities are totally crowded and expensive!

We only had time for a short day today, so we didn't see everything. Never disappointed, this place is awesome. My only complaint is the Saturn V and Apollo building. Waiting for a bus to go to a must see exhibit is tedious

My 15 year old daughter loved it. Lots to do, so one day may not be enough. Many of the shows are bunched in a four hour window so you find yourself picking and choosing if you only have 8-9 hrs to spend at the park. That is only complaint. Overall very enjoyable.

I wish there would be more things to do inside, especially with the little ones but it was fun. Right now due to covid almost 1/2 of the things to do are closed but it is worth the money. They didn t charge the parking either so I am not sure if this is something they will continue doing it until things get better. Great experience overall.

It's been on my bucket list for awhile now. On a whim driving back home from Miami I decided to live my childhood and go visit. I don't regret it. As a space nut I loved everything that was available to the public. Obviously their were restrictions due to COVID-19 but it didn't stop me from enjoying myself. They didn't offer the bus tours which was a shame but in compensation gave me a ticket to come back anytime next year at no additional cost.

As for the sights it was amazing. The highlight being Space shuttle Atlantis. You sit through a few presentations and when the revel of the shuttle happened behind the screened and it rolled up might've been the best experience of recent memory I about cried. Wandering the halls looking at the exhibits was truly a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget.

For the whole park I spent about 3hrs there's and every moment will be with me forever.

Over priced many things are closed save your money and go next year. This place was so over populated it was almost line being in nyc time square but inside . Fortunately when we asked for our money back it was no problem.

What an amazing opportunity to spend time with the family at such a historically significant venue. The staff are friendly, courteous and extremely well trained in knowing the facility. Highly recommend taking the time to visit as we spent the whole day taking in the many sites with personal favorites including the simulator and tribute to fallen astronauts.

We came here in Dec 2016. My son and I had the most enjoyable time here. We even saw some large alligators roaming around the complex. The tour to the launchpads were quite amazing! We met a nice family from UK on this tour and are now friends so it was a memorable experience!

I ve been a couple times already and it doesn t cease to amaze me. Simply one of the coolest places on earth!
The first time we took the paid bus tour (USD 25 per person) and it really paid off, our guide was a former engineer on the Launch Control Room and he really knew about the KSC and the areas we visited. Second time we took the bus tour included with the general admission ticket and it s also worth your time. Goes on a different route and both finish on the Saturn V building.
After going two times, there are still a lot of things we couldn t see, which speaks a lot about how amazing this place is.
The Apollo 8 Launch simulation and the Atlantis Launch simulation are worth the line and the wait!

We went to see the test run of the Space Abort test run on Jan 18 but was post pond due to high winds. Returned on Sunday the 19th and it went of finally at 10:30 a.m. but we couldn't see the abort due to the cloud cover than came in. You could watch the screen and we heard everything, the separation and the sonic boom at lift off. IT WAS AMAZING even if we couldn't see all of it.

At just over 1hour away from Providence Golf club it was far better than expected. My 6yr old loved it and went to school telling his friends all about man's mission to the moon. Go Go Go!!!

It was a child's dream to know this place .. It was very cool. Lots of interactive information, the bus tour shows nasa's building and the launch site, so hopefully you can go on a launch day.
I recommend watching the movies and shows you have in theaters. They are very good and somewhat surprising. I was just a day, it was not run but surely has things to do in more than one visit (with little time or money, one day is enough). The parking is paid and is giant, the road to get there has some tolls (cheap), you can use the Sunpass (a kind of non-stop that has us) but you can get there paying the toll in cash too. (the path I took had no toll option). Get there early because it closes early. My tip is to leave the movie you have on imax last. There are many outdoor activities so take the sunscreen. A fun and cultural tour that mixes history and soooo much technology!

We came for the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch. The free viewing near the Atlantis museum is fine for most people. Bleacher and lawn seating on comfortable astroturf. They have water, snacks, and even sunscreen available for purchase.

Kennedy Space Center has a lot to do in a day. Must-dos are the 3D IMAX movies and bus tour. Included in admission, there are some optional extra cost add ons. Awesome to see the real space shuttle Atlantis, real space capsules and rockets. My kids love it, 4th time visitors.

I loved. It is very well equipped, the attractions are very interesting and the content in this museum is very captivating. I recommend leaving shopping for the end so you can go all over.

If you love science and anything space related then you'll love this place. They demonstrate the past, present, and future of space travel excellently with enough to see for at least two days worth of exploring. I would delay coming until after the pandemic is over and everything has opened up fully again.

I came back today after a while: he kept the Spaziolporto name but it is nothing more than a slot machine.
Only for parking, and you can't do otherwise, $ 10. Afterwards you approach and if you don't make the ticket you can't do anything, but now you have lost the parking. The ticket is an authentic drain: the basic one is 57 dollars, just to walk a bit between old memorabilia; otherwise it prepares the wallet because the complete experience exceeds 100 dollars, and in any case has nothing romantic or scientific.
For what it may be worth, I would advise those responsible to review these policies also to set an example for the many small fans: science and love for them should not be paid.
A big disappointment.

I moved to Florida in May of 2013 for college, from the Midwest. Sure, my hometown was great in its own way, but lacked any sort of excitement, so moving to Orlando was pretty high on the list.

In my first few weeks in Orlando, I was walking out of the grocery store, pushing a cart to my car, when I happened to look out of my peripheral and saw something I had never seen before. I know now that I was looking due West, and saw a bright light, moving up into the sky, with a smoke trail below it. Here I was, poor Midwesterner, standing in the middle of the parking lot, chin on top of my shoes, awestruck without knowing what I was looking at.

Obviously this is not something new to Florida, but definitely new to someone new to Florida. Another store patron walking through the lot definitely saw me gazing in the distance, leaned over and said, "They must've had a rocket launch tonight,". I had no idea that 50 miles East of where I was standing, I could see a rocket up close and personal.

I was 23 when this happened. At that exact moment, I felt every bit of childhood imagination rush back to my body, and excitement came over me. The next weekend, I drove out to Kennedy. I was a broke college kid, so I couldn't go inside, but I had to see this place. As I'm driving over the NASA Causeway, I can see the big orangish-red fuel tank of Space Shuttle Atlantis in the distance. I had goosebumps.

When I finally could visit the complex, I couldn't stop smiling, and who better to accompany me than my dad. The guy who gave me the world and then some, the guy who witnessed Apollo 11 in black and white glory, standing underneath a Saturn V rocket with me.

Have you ever had that overwhelming goosebumps feeling, with the overwhelming feeling of wanting to cry but not knowing why?

Picture this, you're on the free bus tour, sitting amidst children and octogenarians alike, driving through the main gates to the complex, taking a left turn, and seeing the VAB, a building you have grown accustomed to seeing, growing closer ahead. You drive up next to it on a day that the shutters are open, giving a glimpse inside the tallest single-story building in the United States.

This is the most underrated attraction in Orlando, but the absolute best value in more ways than one. Don't skip on this one to go to another Orlando attraction. This is one that your kids and you alike will enjoy and remember for years to come.

Great place to take both friends and family, everyone I have taken here has enjoyed it. There is so much that is offered such as movies, documentaries, exhibits, bus rides through KSC.

It is a all day trip. It well worth every penny. Right now alot of thing's are closed, but still worth the trip. Only 1 place to eat and 1 ice Cream shop open. All Covid-19 are in place. Mask, temp check, 6 Feet apart, alot of Sanitation Station around, they are very well adapted to today's way of life.

Excellent experience

We came June 24th/25th 2019 and almost didn't because of the reviews saying not to go on launch days.. we came anyways... IM SO GLAD WE DID!! The excitement and community of it was electric! Everyone you talked to was into it and excited for the launch. We were here for Falcoln Heavy STP-2.. the bus drivers, the launch team, the cashier's all gave extra tips and details.. we waited in lines but nothing I really don't believe we would have otherwise.. no more than 20 minutes in line.. we were here last in 2011 and Oh my gosh it is 12,000 times better.. so much more to see and learn about.. so many new exhibits and such an homage to those who got us here... Those guys deserve it!

We are currently waiting around for the launch that pushed back from 11:30 to 2 so we wait but couldn't be in better company.. there are a lot of us here but it doesn't feel over crowded.. every person I talked to said anywhere on the grounds is a great view!!

I had a blast at the KSCVC! All of the attractions were absolutely remarkable! My favorites were the Space Shuttle Simulation (Atlantis) and the Heros and Legends! It was a phenomenal trip!

Went with my wife and two kids (7 &5), this was our second time going. I love everything to do with space and space exploration, so there is no better place then this. The park is constantly being updated so that nothing is out of date. There's lots to see and do even if your not big into space and space exploration. I highly recommend it for everyone young and old.
