A very enjoyable and informative visit. Good value for money. The bus tour was excellent and the Atlantis shuttle attraction was simply awesome. A few good simulators too. Plenty clean restrooms and good places to eat. The staff were genuine and some really enthusiastic about their jobs. A great day out totally recommend.

It was great to see where all the launches occur out in the facility. Our guide was very knowledgeable about everything at KSC. I think it was well worth the upgrade over the "standard" tour.

I really loved seeing all the sea creatures, alot of them I have never seen before. Madame Tussauds was very enjoyable seeing all the different people and being able to take pictures with them and just the likeness. I loved the Orlando eye and the employee who helped me get on it and let me sit while I waited for our turn. The view was fantastic.

A great experience! We visited with our two daughters (from the Netherlands), and they learned a lot. Cool shows, and the grounds looked well-maintained! There was plenty to do for both young and old. Once again: a fantastic experience!

This was a rewarding experience. The figures look real and are actual body size. I drove from. Jacksonville, Fl just to visit this attraction. It was a worthwhile tour.

KSC is a Cape Canveral visit that cannot be missed. Get to KSC early so you can enter the gates right at 9am. Send one family member to the bus tour line and another to the VR simulator to register a time slot. A one day ticket is enough but if you really like to take your time to enjoy the exhibits a day and half is sufficient.

​About the Kennedy Space Center

Highlights Covered on your Kennedy Space Center Tour

Rocket Garden

Go on a walk to the surreal rock garden consisting of giant rocket ‘flowers’. A stroll along the garden is like walking with the giants – real machines and rockets that kickstarted the United States’ space exploration programme. The Gemini, Apollo, and Mercury programmes by NASA also find representation here. The garden is not just a celebration of the US’ space journey but also a tribute to the scientists, engineers, and astronauts who turned this dream into reality.

Discover the Rocket Garden

US Astronaut Hall of Fame

The US Astronaut Hall of Fame at the Kennedy Space center pays tribute to the American astronauts who worked on different space programmes, projects, and explorations since the center was founded.

It’s a unique interactive exhibit that pays tribute to the extraordinary team, technology and equipment that made it possible for man to set foot on the moon.
