Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Reviews

Somehow lacking in good information and history for such an amazing part of Americana.
Trying too hard to be like Disney in both pricing (you'll even have to pay to park!) and lines.
Despite this, if you love space and NASA, there is a lot to be amazed by when it's fully open.

Have dreamed of coming here for 50years, it didn't disappoint, the appoll set is awsome

Nice place to walk around and check out the history of our space adventures. You really get a feel for the scary life threatening journey these astronauts took. The Atlantis is a must see attraction because it s amazing how big this thing really is. For us the line was about 10 minutes to go see. 5 minute move. Then you go in another room to see another 5 minute movie. Finally it opens up where you see the shuttle and other various history facts. Lastly there is a simulator ride that is about 5 minutes for the ride but 10 minute line before going into another room with another 5-8 minute movie. The movie makes you think you are going into a verticals position but you are not. The simulator is just a small incline but shakes a lot and makes you feel like you are being pushed ini the seat with g forces. It s more than fine for little kids and you should see unless you re clostrophobic. The rest of the park was kinda barren. Mostly just a bunch of movies to watch and you get to see actual memorabilia surrounded by many gift shops. there was an indoor playground that entertained the kids more than anything else did. Was a little nervous because once your kids go inside it s difficult to see where your kid is and what s going on. Dozens of screaming kids. If something happened I would be concerned on how I could easily reach them. We went to say we did but otherwise I see no reason to go. For me the whole experience was lackluster. A day would be better spent on the beach rather than shlep around in the hot sun.

A gerat day out, and well worth the visit if you a Tec / Space Fan, the bus tour to the Saturn 5 Rocket Hanger from the Main visitor area is a MUST DO, ditto for the Shuttle Atlantis in the main visitor area. The most striking thing for me was the "sheer fragility" of the equipment and the space crafts themselves, your expecting to see shiney glistening "bullet proof" Space Crafts, there not.... its the charred remains of the actual space crafts used. Thoes were indeed very brave men, very lucky to make it home. This really becomes apparent, when you examine the engineering close up!

There are so many things to do here! I brought my third graders and they learned a lie while having fun.

Had the most amazing day here with our 3 kids, 6, 8 and 10. So interesting, loads to see and do.

Loved the visit. Loads to do and see. Interesting on all the history and what's happening now. Quite a few shows which are good but one cinema trip after another becomes tedious. Prices are reasonable. Parking is good and cheap.

Such a cool place!! I wish I could give it more stars!

I had no idea there were so many women astronauts. It was very educational and interesting. Fascinating to see the life size rockets and the actual retired shuttle, etc.

Best place in the world. I have never seen anything so great

Great experience! Very professional and fun, unlike many of the trourist trap parks and sites in the Orlando area. Great exhibits that make you think about being an astronaut. At the least, it moves you to follow and support the space program. Still in awe over what I saw. Great visit!

The whole family was and is excited! My children also had the opportunity to meet an astronaut. He was very nice and signed all of our t-shirts and books. Incl. Photo. Very informative and something for everyone. My son now has a new dream job. Scientists :-) It was much cheaper than Disneyland and universal studios, but even the youngest (7 years old) liked it at least as much. Great IMAX films and lots of things to touch for the kids.

Amazing place. Wish we could have stayed longer, as there is so much cool stuff to see

Went here on a road trip place has alot of stuff there but not as much as I thought they would have was not alot of original space stuff more of replaca stuff is worth it to take kids there but was just me and my wife was fun to go to once tho the bus tour was nice took 40 mins to get from start to fish both ways..food was good there and good prices...

This is a great place to visit but make sure to bring some warm clothes as the air conditioning was a little too strong.

Can be expanded even more and compete with other parks!!

Had lunch with an astronaut. Awesome to meet a man who has been in space and space walked on the iss blew me away

Pay the extra money to get on the bus tour, it's worth it. And do the tour first to beat the crowds.

Great place to see space history and heritage. There are a lot of rockets on display including a Saturn 5 and a Shuttle.

A lot of things are closed but it was worth the trip.

Great place but horrible line control and badly managed food establishments.

Beautiful place to spend the day. I went at 10 am and took us almost 6 hours to see everything. Very clean. It was not too full but some people didn't wear the mask.

Awesome place to visit and learn about past and future NASA projects. Great for all ages.

First time going. Enjoyed the bus tour, Atlantis shuttle ride experience, etc. Make sure you come early since the park closes at 6. If you're looking for extra experiences make sure to book ahead and plan a second day.

A must visit for kids and grownups. lots of good info which we don't usually get to know anymore. Liked the shows, especially about the story behind Space Shuttles and future expeditions planned for Mars. The shuttle launch experience ride was super cool as well as the opportunity to actually touch a moon rock, how many of us get the opportunity to touch something that was part of the moon?

One of the most beautiful parks in Florida, for a day you feel like a real astronaut, if you can recommend the astronaut training test.

If you've never been or been 100 times this is a fascinating adventure. The history and lore is incredible it will give you goose bumps at times, maybe a tear or two but will also make you proud of our American Space program.

Rocket Garden with capsules to sit in, Atlantis, space shuttle simulators, space shuttle ride, and launch viewing.

Good area for me and my mom. Friendly staff and clean environment. I'll be return for my next trip.

MAGNIFICENT ! I do it again gladly a tour because despite the price quite excessive it's worth it, we spent the day there and we did not bored for a minute! PS: If you do the bus ride, get on the right side of the bus otherwise you will not see much;)

Awe inspiring for the most part, but would be much better if every experience didn't attempt to force you through a green screen photo op. When we politely declined to have our picture taken we were met with a bad attitude from one employee. Everyone else was fine, just one staff member snapped at us. The bus tour to the VAB and launch pads was really cool.

The most amazing place in the world to learn space.

Perhaps because it was a child's dream. Perhaps because I watched rocket launches on TV as a child. For me it was a dream come true. Perfect organization. At least 4 hours of visit. I lived every minute of emotion.

Kind of outdated. They still mostly show 70th and 80th technology which look so outdated even for 10 years old kids.

An all day experience. There is much to see and learn while here. Well worth the trip

Very cool!! Good for killing children's curiosity. Not big. Can do quiet in noon.

Very educational, affordable & experiential center.

It was pretty awesome to learn about the past and what's going on in the future of space flight, very nice tour, I would recommend.

Absolutely awesome facility! The bus tour was great and there's so much to see that you will definitely want to come back for more!

Was over priced for what you get to see....lots of add ons for activities

What a great place to spend a couple of days. So much to see and experience. The lunch with an astronaut was really nice, hearing their stories and the food was really good.

Closer to the space than this, for us mere mortals, we cannot for now.
Exciting, really.

Did the "Fly with an Astronaught" experience. Outstanding. Everything done very well. Astronaught Dr. Don Thomas was exceptional, shared personal stories, explained the nuts and bolts of being an astronaught. Truly an enlightening experience.

We enjoyed our very interesting tour of the Kennedy Space Center. I'd recommend taking the extra bus tour which drives your around the area in about a 2 hour time span. Lots to see and learn here about this very important historical place.

Absolutely amazing day out. Definately the best thing to do if youre in Florida

Its a great place for kids into and not into space learning with a lot of interactives, and the app is great

Generations of fun! I came as a teenager and now as an adult with kids and both experiences were amazing. I was amazed how much had changed but the quality only went up.

Great place to visit right now. Low volume of participants. Clean and sanitary.
