Best time to visit the Kennedy Space Center

Weekday vs Weekend

  • Monday through Friday tends to see fewer crowds, which also means a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to take your time exploring exhibits without feeling rushed. Schools often schedule field trips on weekdays, so mornings might still see a surge in visitors, but generally, afternoons are quieter.
  • If you are planning a weekend visit, arriving early, around 9am-10am, is wise to beat the crowds and make the most of your day. Expect longer lines for popular attractions and tours, as well as busier parking areas and restaurants.

Peak season vs Low season

  • Peak Season (November to February, March to April) coincides with school holidays, such as winter (December to early January) and spring (March/early April) break. The weather is warm and sunny, ideal for outdoor activities and exploring, but expect crowds and longer waits.
  • Low Season (May to October) sees fewer tourists, except during summer break (June to early July). Fall (September-November) brings cooler, rainier conditions. Summers (July and August) can be challenging due to extreme heat and humidity, while hurricane season (late August to October) sees unpredictable weather with higher odds of storms.
