An amazing entertaining educational experience! The bus tour was exceptional as the guides taught in layman's terms making the trip more interesting. Sightings of launch pads, Alligators, Eagles nest and much more. God's Creation is beautiful!

If you buy your ticket on the internet beforehand, you will expect less queues. Inside, there's a half-hour tour for launch launchers. It is done by bus and takes 45 min. There is a fastfood section where you can have a snack at noon, but they have an organization called an astronaut. There is a delicious buffet that takes 1 hour. Astronaut shares his experiences for 1 hour while you eat. If you have questions you can ask.

SUPER FUN AND GOOD PLACE TO GO!!! ESPECIALLY WITH FAMILY!! Super cool and big rockets and training centers simulations! Some times the lines are a bit long but they go by quickly and the bus tour is super fun and all the restaurants at the main park usually have super big lines so I would recommend going on the bus tour and then the bus will take you to this other place where there s a super huge rocket and a big restaurant with small lines!! Definitely a fun place!! And I recommend to come early if you are here for a rocket launch and some times they do get canceled.

Well i cant say enough about the space program! It's really quite cool!! The center is only open 6 hours so keep that in mind. The scale of these displays will blow your mind! Food prices are good for what you get. Try to go on a day where there is a rocket launch to just make the whole day amazing!

Definite must see tourist spot when visiting FL. Go early and spend the day. Plenty to do and reasonably priced. Bus tour is informative to Saturn V facility. Great place for families and anyone interested in learning about NASA.

A must-see on the space Coast. COVID update Sept 2020
This is the heart and soul of the space program and one of the places where America launched, and launches, people and items into space. It is open with specific COVID restrictions. There is plenty of parking. Costs for tickets to enter are $57 with an annual pass about $90. There is plenty of parking. All personnel must wear masks and get a temperature screening to enter. There are at least 4 things that you probably want to see while you are there: The IMAX, Shuttle, Memorial and gift shop. The IMAX is open with spaced out seating. There were at least 2 different movies that were showing when we went. The shuttle experience was open and well worth going. The movie presentation and display is very original and well done. The memorial is tucked behind the IMAX theater closest to the road. The gift shop is in the center of the complex hard to miss. There are definitely other items to see but those are the ones that I liked the most when I visited. Overall, the complex is a must see to see the past and present of the American space program. Enjoy

Nice!

2 stars because of the cost. Wanted to see a launch but had to purchase a full day admission ticket in order to purchase the launch ticket. Launch was at 11:50pm. Park closes at 6pm. Buses dont start running till 9pm. On top of that I had already been to KSC so I was not interested in spending another full day there so instead of paying 20 for the launch ticket I had to pay an additional 60 for a admission ticket. They got you over a barrel and they know it.

Great a day where it is exploded to make all the attractions you have to arrive at the opening because it takes the full day but be 5m from a rocket is exceptional it feels toddler if I have the opportunity to redo it will be without hesitation because it's unforgettable.

Place that must be on the list of things to see for fans of space, but that is also interesting for the person. A day is very little to enjoy the place, especially if you opt for a VIP visit. The building dedicated to the Apollo era is incredible, and the presentation of the space shuttle is daunting. Seeing these ships that are used on a screen is just huge.

This is a place you have to visit in person and experience for yourself. It has a special place in human history, proving what we can do if we work together and the possibilities of what we will accomplish in the future. There are so many things to learn about desires to explore and our ability to overcome incredible obstacles. These shared dreams push us to do our best. Plenty here for the kids and the big kids too. Things to ignite imagination as to what is possible. To see the Saturn V up close as well as the Shuttle are some of the highlights of the Saturn V complex. Pictures don't quite do it justice. What struck me was the enormous size of Saturn V and how incredibly small the capsule was. Hopefully you get the chance to see a launch during your visit. The odds of viewing a launch are increasing in 2020 with events from SpaceX, Boeing and ULA and next year, Blue Origin. There are so many things we have yet to learn, you can easily spend a few days here. Our last visit had restrictions to some areas we could see. We found out later there was a static fire test for SpaceX upcoming launch and the delivery of the SpaceX crew dragon capsule for our return to human space flight from US soil. The launch we were hoping to see was delayed a few days and we had to fly home. We will be back!

The number of gift shops and food places outnumber the attractions. Pretty pricey and many things require an additional fee. It's worth a trip if you're going to splash out for the bus tours of the site.

It was a breath taking experience. I really enjoyed my visit. If you are planing to visit make sure to stay hydrated and wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Don't forget your hat and sunscreen The food was amazing too. The only down side is having to wait in long lines for bus

Love

Great experience, must take bus tour the saturn 5 facility and do shuttle launch experience, lots to do just need to go around to find it all, would do again. If you or your kids are interested in space, this is a must do.

Had an absolutely incredible experience here as a science and history lover. There is so much to do (even during COVID) that you will likely need an entire day to see everything. We watched a SpaceX rocket launch on the Atlantis North Lawn and it was spectacular. The narrator was knowledgeable and the view was perfect. The Atlantis exhibit was done so well that it was literally an emotional experience. Just amazing.

We had read that lines were an issue here so we bought our tickets online in advance. The line at the gate was long but moved quickly. Once inside we only waited about 10 minutes for the bus tour (the regular tour we didn't upgrade which was long enough). We then watched the presentation on Atlantis and went on the simulator ride with no wait. We then toured through the Journey to Mars building but bypassed the building with almost the info about the Hero's to let the kids play in the playground. It was fun but informative and the 6 hours we spent gave us a good look at where NASA has been and where they are planning to go in the future. This was a great tour for a 10 year old, a little to technical for 7 and under.

It shows the history of the US space program. Triumph and tragedy are told through viewing the actual vehicles, artifacts and interactive exhibits.

Be forewarned, it's $10 to park and there are admission fees. Daily admission: Adult (age 12+) $57, Child (age 3-11) $47. There are discounts for seniors age 55 and up, and military personnel. There are also multi day admission packages. There are also more in depth tour packages available which will take you behind the scenes at NASA.

I suggest the multi day package because you really can't see it all in one day.

Totally worth the visit. The rich tradition of USA space programs come to life here. The Atlantis exhibit is awesome. Lots to do for young and old alike. The explorer bus tour is worth the extra $25 to get up close to 39A and 39B. Informative guide to fill you in on past, present, and future about the area.

Great plays to learn about the space agency past and present. also love that they have free Tesla charging stations this is a big plus for those of us who want to be in electric vehicles. Would highly recommend this to any person or families with an interest in space travel.

One day is not enough

One day is not enough
The space shuttle I had not imagined so big, impressive.
But too little spaceX in the exhibition. I hope that changes in the future.

I love NASA. Almost more than life itself. But they are a has been now. A tourist theme park where you can't even get to the gift shop without paying full price admission and parking. A commercialized agent of the federal government, serving the pockets of the few instead of the greater good for all of humanity. A huge shame and a tradgedy for which we should all cry. One small fence for a government agency, one huge loss for mankind.

We recently took a vacation to Cocoa Beach, Florida and spent a day at the Kennedy Space Center and absolutely loved it. We paid more to take the bus tour and our guides Richard and Doug made it one of the most enjoyable tours I've ever taken. I think it was the iMax theater simulated one of the moon landings. Another a launch from a replica of the control center. It was definitely the most enjoyable part of our stay in Florida. I highly recommend getting there early so you can take in all the attractions. We arrived at noon and closed the KSC down. We will definitely be going back.
