NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Reviews

Had an amazing time. Blue Origin launched and after seeing all the cool thing witnessing history with New Glenn launch was the icing on the cake.

KSC is very Americana and the locals are very patriotic, You'll certainly get your fill of history here and when USA refers to international collaboration they imply team USA and a Canadian, ie Artemis video on the bus. If you're travelling with kids and need to save your sanity then lining up for ages just to pack like cattle into a small warm room with sweaty tourists and exceptionally patriotic Mather from Cars then I recommend you A: when visiting the Saturn rocket facility, skip the preshow video with the three screens on the ceiling behind the stainless door just as you get off the bus and hang a right into the garden and go straight into the rocket hanger and immerse in all the displays and the immense size of that rocket, you'll get more value doing this. B: when visiting the Atlantis space shuttle exhibit, skip the long line and video through the main entrance (you'll only miss a comedy and AI generated shuttle video in two rooms one of which is displayed on a large cloth canvas that opens into the space shuttle display), instead hang a right into the gift shop and straight into the Atlantis exihibit, walk up the ramps to the top and make your way down, time it well and you'll have the area to yourselves until the next cluster of people come out, there are a few interactives and simulators to stimulate you and your children for hours. C: the LC39 gantry has a nice view of the launches, especially if Eron is your idol, then this is the place for you, satisfy your fantasies with a view of space x, a virtual launch of a LEO rocket, then catch the lift down, get sprayed with liquid under a rocket booster and head to the bus for your next stop.

Try and avoid peak periods, the wait for the behind the gates shuttle bus at each location can take upwards of 40mins. keep an eye on those long lines at each attraction, if it has 200 people in it then thats likely a 30-45min wait.

The whole facility is doable in a day with some planning and arriving at opening time, and ensuring you register for those virtual queues as soon as you have your ticket.

if you have an infant/toddler then ask if you can take your stroller with you on the bus, you'll be away from the visitor centre for at least a couple hours.

Getting into the carpark through the entry booth will be chaotic at the start, but once you're through there are a few carpark attendants that usher everyone into parking spots and it kinda works. btw its $15 to park a car and $20 for RV's on top of your ticket. Tolls on the highway will be about $6, and you can get there avoiding tolls just add 15-30mins to your trip, If it's KSC closing time when you leave then I recommend avoiding the 528 as everyone that just left KSC will be on it, instead go down the 405 and look for some food as you and your fam will be hangry by this point, there are restaurants and a couple Maccas along the way.

We had a great time. We especially enjoyed the Explore tour on which we got to watch an actual rocket launch. We also learned a lot and got some really good photos.

KSC visitor complex is a fabulous place the memory of US space adventure and also the future with the moon and Mars programs ...
Third time for us but always new things to see and learn for example the 39 launch complex opened to public now
Do not forget the bus tour to see Merritt Island and the wild life also and the NASA shop with special items
We will come back !

This place had sentimental value to me due to my Dad loving it, so I was excited to finally visit it for myself. And it was... okay.

It was great to be in the heart of space travel history, with plenty of amazing interactive exhibits. The bus tour between the centres was informative and fun, especially seeing all the wildlife within the area. GATORS! The food was okay, expensive for what it was (we had a $15 voucher and still thought it was dear).

Again it was great to finally visit this historical place, but was it worth the admission cost, the food quality/prices and time of travel to get there? Personally, no. I felt it was very quick to get around with nothing enticing you to stay longer. If I was to ever go back it would be on a launch day.

I did take so many photos. It was so fun. The rides were there. It was so fun I went with the fam learn so mean new things the bus way there was nice the bus back was also nice

Sensational exhibition with interesting pictures, exhibits and films.
Be sure to get there early, because 9 to 5 is not much time.....
We took the bus first and made the entrance area afterwards.
Look closely, there is so much and some is hidden.....
Mosquito repellent for the things that are visited by bus is recommended. The beasts are everywhere.

It was a fun and unique experience and was an educational wonder. The activities were non-stop fun and technological wonders. I loved the visit and could recommend it all again!

It was amazing! It's the second time we've visited Space Kennedy and we loved everything! My husband always dreamed of visiting NASA. Since he was a child he always drew rockets in his artistic creations. When we return to Orlando, we will return to Space Kennedy again. If you have something special like a rocket launch, you can let us know. My husband would be super happy.

amazing spaces ambiance and we had chance to see a rocket fly and the simulators was funny but the park closed at 5 pm and it’s quite far from Orlando

Love Kennedy and always a must when we visit Florida. Was great to find a Starbucks has now appeared. However, today (10th August - 4pm) seems to be operated by the most miserable woman on the planet. Come on, you work at a wonderful venue and are supposed to cheer us tired tourists up.

Wonderful visit! Highly recommend if your family loves to learn about space! Friendly staff and lots of inside things to do to escape the heat

We had a great time visiting the Kennedy Space Center. The facilities are well designed, informative, and very engaging. There is plenty to see and do, and the experience is both educational and fun. It is an excellent destination for kids, with many interactive exhibits that make learning about space exciting. A very enjoyable visit and highly recommended for families.

Was very disappointed in the management of the crowd. We were seated in the bleachers for the viewing area. Guests were told by announcer they could not stand at fence I. Fro t of bleachers. However there was no enforcement and people sitting in bleachers could not see the rocket launch. There is very poor enforcement as people do not care they are blocking others in the bleachers. Ridiculous to tell them they cannot stand there the. Have no one to enforce it.

Learned a lot at this one of a kind facility for space exploration. Now it means more to us when we watch a launch on tv because we were there.

I started with Atlantis,
Apollo bus tour, I predict mission to moon, gateway, journey to mars and didn’t have to queue in that order! Plenty time to see a movie, walk around outside, have something to eat and shop!

Kennedy Space Flight Center is a must! It is full of historical, educational information and is fun! Just seeing the actual rockets, space shuttle and space equipment us wor5h the visit. A bonus is being present to see a launch and they seems to happen frequently. Highly recommend the Explore Bus Tour upgrade. Well worth time and money.

We bought VIP tickets to see a launch and while it was delayed one extra day it was so fun to visit the center again and get to see the launch the next day. This should be on everyone’s bucket list. It also should be mandatory so that people have a better perspective of how wonderful in the United States is.

This was our second visit to the Kennedy Space Center and I feel like we could easily go back again! There is so much to do and see that you can’t possibly get through it all in one day.
The interactive exhibits were brilliant for adults and children alike and even the food was good.

If you’re visiting Orlando and have any interest in space, science, or history, I really recommend a visit here!

Our visit to the Kennedy Space Center was an incredible experience. My wife, our 7-year-old son, and I were all deeply impressed by the wealth of education and history behind space exploration. It was inspiring to see how humanity has reached beyond our planet and to learn about the people and innovations that made it possible.

During our visit, we heard a mention that NASA is always in need of engineers. I told my son—who is a gifted child with a passion for science and discovery—that one day, he could be part of NASA, helping to push the boundaries of human knowledge and achievement.

We’re from New Jersey, but this vacation truly stands out as one of the best we’ve ever had. Thank you to everyone at the Kennedy Space Center for such a memorable and inspiring experience.

Beautiful experience, we took the tour by bus with a guide. recommend it. the site is huge, there are very nice demonstration activities, such as the shuttle simulator, the lunar module. very interesting guide on how many things studied for spatial approach are used today in our homes and in common life. also beautiful park with well-kept fauna and flora.

I was traveling with two teenagers who were ecstatic.

It was an out of this world experience I can’t wait to go again I had the best time. This is definitely a trip. I would definitely wanna go again.

The shuttle launch experience as well as the journey to Mars were outstanding! Our group of 6 ages 10 to 73 thoroughly enjoyed our two day visit absorbing everything Kennedy space Center had to offer

The moment you set foot on grounds of the Kennedy space Center. It was a feeling of excitement. The view of the Rockets, as you enter through the gates, made my mind think of the great accomplishments man has made.

This as a jam packed day and I highly recommend this experience! Clean, organized, friendly staff and overall pleasant experience.

I can highly recommend the Kennedy Space Complex for everyone. We had a wonderful and educational experience for all ages.

There was so much to see, we spent the day there, and didn't get to see everything. And we didn't even have children with us. I was extremely impressed with the way they care for their visitors. I lost my cell phone while there, and the staff went out of their way to find it by calling everywhere I had been. It had been turned in by one of the bus drivers, and they took me directly to the location where it was being held so I could continue my visit. What an incredible place!. Well worth the price of a ticket!

The whole family loved it (6 to 41 years old).
Highly recommend. Take the 2 days pass, it’s the best because there is a lot to do.

This was a very interesting facility. We took the VIP tour and our guide pointed out all of the highlights. A second day was included with the tour so we went back and saw the IMAX movies and other things that the tour did not cover. The property was very clean and inviting. Restaurants on grounds were reasonable.

We did this on a cruise trip we could of done with so much longer, Excellent visit with Kids we started on the bus tour the kids loved seeing everything in real life that they have seem in the movies, was very impressed with how interactive and fun it was for the children

This was my 3rd visit and my wife’s first visit. We really enjoyed the bus tour and while unplanned, we were able to see a rocket launch! There are many great exhibits to see, especially if you have children with you. The gift shops are excellent!

Having watched rocket launches on a small B&W television as a child, I was delighted to visit the Kennedy Space Center! It's well organized and has something for everyone. Everyone from little kids to senior citizens was engaged and interested in the exhibits. Other than a couple of 5-minute waits for the bus and a video presentation, there were no lines when we visited.

It's a full day, and we could easily have extended into a second one had we added on some of the extra experiences. Restrooms were readily available, there was handicap access almost everywhere (except in exhibits like crawling through a model of the space station), and food was surprisingly affordable.

Absolutely worth seeing, one day is not enough to see everything.
We were very lucky to see a launch directly from Cape Canaveral.

The whole experience was aging! The KSC Explore tour is well worth the additional cost as you get to see everything up close! The perfect day!

Terrible first experience! NEVER coming back! Lost of time and money for sure! The place where kids could play and parents have a relax time don’t sell food only drinks, so definitely you don’t get all in one.
The waiting for the bus was ridiculous, extremely way too much!! Kids get crazy an hour waiting in line to get a bus… worst experience.

Tour was amazing. Would recommend doing the bus tour first as the buses stop running. Would also recommend the simulator. Would recommend for all ages

Very impressive facility. So much you can do and see with general admission. Lots of cool information and displays. Lots of hand on things to do.

Visiting the Kennedy Space Center was truly an unforgettable experience—every moment was inspiring and awe-inspiring. Next time, I’ll make sure to arrive earlier to take in even more of what it has to offer.

How to manage the day planning if you discover the early closure of attractions... Highly frustating the whole group...

What a fantastic day spent throughout the complex.
The rocket garden was amazing!
I enjoyed the quiet of the moon tree garden and the accomplishments of the astronauts

A must to see if you're visiting Florida, but I would say a worldwide must to see, where you can find a similar structure? Only here at Kennedy Space Center. I was in Miami Beach but I rented a car to spend some days in Orlando area to visit Nasa Space Center but not only. It's an unique experience, you've the opportunity to visit an active space port and to have a trip in the space exploration history: Saturn Five hangar and moon exploration is fantastic and incredible, but the same it's Atlantis. Only these 2 attractions are worthy to visit the Kennedy Space Center, but center is much more wide so you've at least other 3 attractions to visit. Visit is taking all the day, you can eat in the structure in one of the restaurants of the center.

Launch simulation was cool.Went on a ride with an actual astronaut in the group. Lots of walking. If you want to see everything and take your time, you should get the 2-day pass. We paid for a one day pass,but they told us we can come back tomorrow for $15 each. Just a heads up to those not sure about which pass to get.

Such a wonderful place with many great things to see. Truly am amazed at what they had on site and learned a lot more than I could have imagined. The bus tour is also a must! Would recommend stopping here for any one of any age.

we loved our visit in Kennedy space center . it is an extraordinary place for your kids and you . lots of things we got to learn there about space .

Spectacular historical and future prospective of human space flight. Educational amd e terrain inground. Great for grandparents parents and children. Plan a whole day to see everything

A must see for space enthusiasts and for people who just enjoy thoughtful, impactful experiences. I don’t think there’s an exhibit at KCC that isn’t interactive or engaging in some way. The Atlantis portion was by far our favorite. We just went to Space Center Houston at New Years and although that was incredible too, overall we enjoyed KCC more. It probably helped that we got to see a rocket launch while we were there :)

Excellent knowledge for my 11 year-old son and myself. Some of the staff appeared to not want to be there. The bus tour was interrupted by a oversize load which I feel we should’ve been able to move past.

Loved this park. It was clean, easy to navigate, and the exhibits were fun and interesting. I really enjoyed the VR game that you booked when you arrived and the Atlantis shuttle launch experience. I also enjoyed the movies in the Gateway building.

Amazing place with incredible displays. The Saturn V exhibit was really impressive and the tour guide was excellent. Great to learn about all those space missions and even the behind the scenes failures. It is a huge complex so go early and give yourself the full day. You will need it.

Would give 5 stars but stuff was broken. The exhibition was so cool. The space shuttle launch was sooooo cool. Guy Gardner was the best part.

We did the “ Fly with an Astronaut” tour. It was amazing. Well worth the money spent. I highly recommend it! Spending the day with and talking to “ our astronaut “ was so informative. It felt we were with friends. I can’t recommend it enough.

I learned so much here today! And it made me want to learn even more about missions to the moon. All the staff was so helpful and friendly. I want to come back!

Highly recommend using the app. Idk how else i wouldve found things so quickly. Enjoyed my time, learned things, and look forward to coming back. Definitely take a half day or more for your visit.

We enjoyed our visit to Kennedy Space Center. This was our second time visiting, and I am glad we returned. We paid extra this time to take the extended bus tour (the Explore Tour) - well worth the $25! The Saturn V Center was my favorite part, and I also loved seeing Atlantis and particularly the exhibits in that building. We bought a two-day pass this time and I'm glad we did so!

This is a must when traveling to Florida. The tour will delight young and old, amateurs or not of space. Special mention for the presentation of the shuttle ATLANTIS. You'll go a whole day without seeing time pass. This was our second visit (first visit 8 years ago) but we enjoyed it just as much this time, especially since there are new things.

Super nice experience !! Need to give it some time so you don't rush ! Come early. Totally worth it !!! Give it the entire day

We had a great time looking around the spaceships and highly recommend the tour. The Apollo tour was really great and informative.

The Kennedy Space Center is an amazing place, one that provides a full day of enjoyment. While there are many rides and movies, this is not Disneyworld (a place I and my family very much love), it is the real thing. Real rockets (e.g. Saturn V), a real astronauts a real moon rock. However, I was very disappointed with the "chat with an astronaut". Although the experience was supposed to be an hour it was only 45 minutes. Further, with about 12 people in the room there was only time for one question per group. At a cost of approx. $265 for my wife and myself, I was disappointed even though the astronaut spoke very well and did give excellent answers to the questions asked.

I enjoyed much and fully recommend. I’d suggest making this a open to close experience to get all attractions experienced or even a two day planned event.

What an amazing place , didn't know something science oriented still happened in Florida, great time with my kid. We watched a rocket go to space !

Dates: July 3, 2025
Who we are: Family of 4 with 2 kids age 10 & 4
This 4th of July 🎆 weekend we strolled through a Rocket 🚀 Garden, touched a Moon 🌙 rock, and even experienced what a shuttle launch feels like at the Kennedy 🛰️ Space Center Visitor Complex.

🚀So many photo 📸opportunities! Don’t miss out on the photo package right before loading for the bus tour. It even included digital downloads 🤳

Well planned experience .
The interactive experiences at LC-39 was good.
I really enjoyed the Astronomers hall of fame and Atlantis .
Ofcourse the Saturn V

Our afternoon at the KSC exceeded expectations. Much to our surprise we were able to witness a SpaceX launch which was a bonus!

We loved our day at the Space Center. So much to see & do and we did fill a whole day. Went in the bus tour to the launch exhibits, a launch was due to take off that morning but unfortunately was delayed by 24 hours. Shops are good, purchased a very cool T-Shirt! Bought the lunch included ticket & enjoyed a pulled pork roll & fries. The highlight for me was the space shuttle as well as ‘touching the moon’ - not many can say they have done that!! Would totally recommend a visit, great value for money.

Loved it! We learned so much, I wish all kids could see this at a young age to encourage science and math. The exhibits were top notch and the rides were fun and educational
What a gem!

This place is wonderful. Admission is a deal if you do two days. You really need two to see it all. The food needs work in taste and price, hence the 4 instead of 5.

A superb discovery of the kennedy space center. It takes a full day see 2, if you want to do all the pavilions as well as the bus tour of the entire site.
Nice simulators and accessible explanations. I recommend this site.

An absolute bucket list trip. We were looking forward to it and weren’t disappointed. We purchased the extra $25 enhanced bus tour. It was money well spent. The extra stops and photo opportunities were well worth it. Our tour guide, Ken was very knowledgeable and definitely added to the trip.

We paid to meet the astronaut which was amazing but was disappointed that after the chat he went and we didn’t get the chance to shake hands or have a photo with him. That is our only disappointment for the whole day. It was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY AWESOME experience. Thankyou

Had a great experience here and was also able to see the space x launch occurring that day with their viewing area. Th e rides the videos and interactive experiences are all really nice for adults kids (my 6 year old) and pre teens (my 11 year old). The bus tour was also really informative but allow enough time for it.

I wanted to visit it for decades, but a lot has changed since the days of the Apollo missions (for those who know its history), stand out the newcomers SpaceX and Blue Origin, but far from the places of visits. Very nice experiences of the space shuttle Atlantis and the 'real' simulation of the launch, excellent exposure of the Apollo program with a piece of moon that you can touch. To visit everything would take 2 days, but even on a full day you can see a lot, including the "extended" tour. Not recommended on holidays and weekends; we went on a Monday and it was practically deserted so we fully enjoyed the whole complex. Try the Mercury capsule to understand what 'box' it was and the simulation of the shuttle launch.
Disappointing extension "KSC Exploration Tour", you only see the VAB building from the outside and little else, although the guide was extremely prepared.
To visit for enthusiasts and kids who like science.

We had an amazing time at the Kennedy Space Center! We particularly enjoyed how they unveil the exhibits after stunning visual projections. The KSC Exploration tour was also fantastic, featuring friendly, witty, and experienced guides who made the experience truly memorable.

Really enjoyed our visit. Was very impressed with the displays and how everything is laid out
Many areas are outside - make sure you have your hats and sunglasses
Easy to find and plenty of parking (chargeable)
Easy could spend 4 hours plus walking around.

I felt the spirit of the astronauts, the romance. They really were adventurers and challengers. I want to come again.

I have been to Kennedy Space Center many times as an annual pass holder for the past three years. I learn a great deal more each time I go and spend about 6 hours each visit. There are few attractions that would ever warrant this many visits and amount of time spent during each visit. That is because there is simply so much wonder and amazement at all there is to see, experience and learn about the space program's history and future.

Wonderful trip and experience for me, my wife and my granddaughters! Everyone had a great time. One day was not enough…definitely would have preferred a second day.

We took the Explore Tour package yesterday, and it was absolutely worth it! We didn’t have to wait in line with the crowds. Instead, we were taken to a small waiting area where we met our tour guide, Richard, who turned out to be the highlight of the trip. Before we boarded the bus, Richard personally spoke with each of us, engaging in casual and friendly conversations about where we were from. It was a warm and welcoming start. Throughout the tour, he provided fascinating details about the attractions and kept us entertained with his great sense of humor, leaving everyone laughing and enjoying the experience even more.

Ken was our tour escort, and everything ran smoothly. I don’t usually write reviews, but I couldn’t miss the chance to share how Richard made this tour truly unforgettable.

This stop on the bus tour is a complete waste of time…what a waste and joke.

It’s supposed to be interactive. It’s a viewing point with history made out of junk parts of the crawler. I rank it right up there with the animatronic bears at Chuck E Cheese.

We had to get off of the bus just to wait again to get back on the bus. So stupid.

It was a wonderful experience. Everyone was kind and everything was very clean.
My children absolutely loved it! There was tons of hands on activities

I have always wanted to come here ever since I watched launches as a kid. Our family was visiting the Orlando area recently and decided to get away from the main tourist area and venture out a little.
We took the pretty easy around 1 hour drive out to Kennedy and spent the day.
Cost is pretty high, but what isn't nowadays as it worked out to be a little under $300 for four tickets. We got there not long after it opened and had a parking space towards the main entrance which was nice. I would imagine that it could be a pain to have to walk far to the main entrance, especially in the Florida sun.
We didn't really have an organized plan but we took the bus tour which took us out to the Launch Pad, then to the Saturn V visitor center and then back to the Atlantis building.
The Launch pad was cool, the Saturn V building was impressive and the Atlantis display was incredible. Very emotional and for anyone who watched the Shuttles launch during the 80's and 90's it was a must see.

There was so much more to see that we could have easily spent a second day there but decided to keep it to one day.

A must see.

Stunning and moving. I really am overwhelmed by the experience. I particularly loved the Astronaut Hall of Fame and the Atlantis hall. In addition, the Ascent Simulator was amazing. I truly had a ball. This was a lifetime desire fulfilled in grand style.

I went to KSC 20 plus years ago and what a dramatic change now compared to then. We went when it was Military Appreciation Week, so we got in free for my husband and half price for Granddaughter and myself. There is so much to see and just was not enough time to see everything. The hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and we arrived there at 10:00 am and stayed to closing but still did not get to see and do everything there. We booked our tickets online and it was very simple. The cost was $80 and well worth the money. We definitely will be going back by next year. We also got to visit a Astronaut which was exciting and got his autograph. It was a very memorable experience.

So impressive, the whole facility it’s so clean and well maintained. No super long lines, it was truly an amazing experience. Going back soon

Started with a very helpful staff member helping plan our day. All worked well. Returning tomorrow too so will follow her recommendations again for day 2. Well work the admission.

You couldn’t pay me to come here again. Waited hours in long lines all day for not very informative or interesting exhibits. We should have stayed home and watched Apollo 13.

Everything was very clean and well presented. The movies were great! Especially the ending of the one on the shuttle presentation!!

A unique experience. Unsurpassed.... spectacular and highly recommended.
Very well cared for and a dream realized.....

We had an Absolute Blast! Highly recommend the Bus Tour, and Everything that it includes! To Be That Close to History and Learn More About It Was Inspiring!

The only attraction that probably deserves the cost of the ticket is the tour with the Bus of the space base, too bad that after more than two hours of waiting and an endless queue we discovered that the buses did not leave because they were moving a missile, and they did not know if and when they would leave, and no one thought to warn the hundreds of people in the queue. Poor organization, the rest are schemes with poor effects and poorly narrated. It's not worth the time and money wasted. I'd like to get my ticket back.

There's plenty to do here. One can spend a couple of hours or most of the day. Of course, one has to see space shuttle Atlantis, but also make sure that you go to the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame.

Having wanted to visit for many years I brought my family for what I assumed would be a great day of interest and fun, what I found was a series of very long queues and mostly lack lustre exhibits. Highlights of the day were Atlantis, Apollo Mission Control and rocket, everything else was very poor and relied heavily on videos. What is there should be amazing to see so it takes a real effort to mess the experience up, but the company who run this place for NASA managed to achieve it.
The ‘bus tour’ goes to one stop and back again.
Staff are more interested in selling photos.
Food voucher with ticket but queued a whole hour for the food.
Feel like it stole a day of our holiday, avoid.

Very informative and lots to do here. We had a really nice time visiting and touring. A must see while here visiting and you will not regret it.

We loved our visit! It was our first time there and our little astronaut was amazed. The only thing that bothered us was the exit, on our way out, only 2 gates were open and it was scary with that many people pushing each other against the exit.

I've lived in Florida for 23 years and finally made a trip to KSC. This trip included my 8th grade students, fellow teachers, and parent chaperones. I was amazed by our groups experience at KSC. From the immersive activities to the historical objects on display, I was constantly in a state of awe. This is a great place for all ages.

The experience was ok. The exhibits were interesting and seeing where the spaceships are lifted off is amazing. But the staff all seemed to be miserable at their jobs.

Very interesting and fun place. I recommend getting a two day ticket because there is so much to see. Also, go in the winter as it is hot walking between attractions.

Visiting Kennedy Space Center is a must if you're in the Orlando area. The site is well organized with shuttles to see the Apollo site, guided tours several times a day to the Rocket Garden, attractions like the rocket takeoff simulator, which makes it all quite fun. I wasn't bored! The most impressive thing for me was to see the shuttle Atlantis whose dimensions are enormous! In summary it was an exciting day, too bad no takeoff took place that day.

A marvellous experience at Kennedy space centre,you need to spend about 2 days here.
The staff are fantastic.
The only criticism is the first restaurant you encounter is not very nice.
Wrong orders being given out and a horrible smell of disinfectant.
The second restaurant at the Apollo centre is great, very nice.

Don't overtime it! Book the KSC tour and pray you get Bart and Johnny to lead you! They are so amazing! Hands down funny, knowledgeable, passionate, and great with family! Just enjoyed it all! If you are lucky enough to get those two, to lead your tour, treat them right! They are so good with everyone, especially a BIG ROWDY group like ours! We WILL be back!

It was very interesting, bu i suggest you research before visiting so you can rake advantage of all the rides (yes there are rides)
You should book hyperdeck vr before ypu enter the park as the spots are very limited (4persons max booking)
As soon as you arrive go to blue origin ride and book (max 6 pax)
Try to do those early in the morning and then go on the bus ride as it has two stops with shows in each (first stop has one show and then launch experience- second stop has two shows… both worth seeing).
After you return from bus ride go to atlantis… they also offer a guided tour but i found out too late. Anyway the show in atlantis is fantastic and at the exit there is one simulator( kids love it).
Then go to the mars experience to hear the show from an actual astronaut live.
Finally go to the imax show, the rocket garden tour and the heroes hall at the end.
The imax was a highlight as well as the hyperdeck experience.
I hope this is helpful

Great even if you don’t buy extra packages and it shows just how amazing their work really is I couldn’t put how great some of the shows were or how helpful everyone was 10/10

Great place to be and learn more about space. The presentation and chat with an astronaut are among the major highlights.

The amount of interactive activities ranged from a small queue of touching a moon rock to reserving a day of space training! There’s definitely an activity for space fans all ages! I recommend to plan ahead to really immerse yourself KSC.

Great place to spend an entire day with family learning about space exploration. The "launch experience" simulator in Atlantis is a fantastic add-on.
Buy tickets online to save time at the gate.
Do not miss the bus tour. Between the videos and the narration by the tour guide, you will learn a lot about the facility, and its history and future.
Pro tip: Sit on the right side of the bus to get the best views.

All very nice, it would be better appreciated with a Spanish translation..although I understand the language I was difficult to understand specific words or phrases.

Interactive center for kids to learn about space exploration. Additional opportunity to see native Florida wildlife.

Good visit. Lots to see, and the history of space flight. Plan for at least 6 hours. Plenty to experience and read. We went on New Year’s Day, so little lines.

This was very fun and educational. We got to do most things for 1 day. The interactive options were enjoyable. Also, great for all ages and spacious. You dont feel overcrowded like in theme parks. I highly recommend to check this place out.

Just an amazing experience at the Saturn V experience, the new James Webb IMAX and Atlantis exhibit. So glad we got a second day for such a great value!

We had a great experience with our tour guides, Bart and Daniel. Both were well informed, organized, and made the day easy to enjoy. Bart took extra time with our family when he noticed how interested our son was in the history of Atlantis. He spent over 20 minutes explaining details, theories, and background stories. It was clear he genuinely enjoys what he does and values sharing knowledge. Daniel was also professional and attentive, making sure everyone stayed comfortable and informed throughout the tour. Together, they created a thoughtful and well-paced experience that balanced information with enjoyment. The attention to detail and personal approach stood out and made the day more meaningful for us. If you have the chance, ask for Bart and Daniel they made our visit one to remember.

Very expensive !
I was very disappointed $82.00 to get in $20.00 to park. For that you get to see a 45 minute movie look at some mock shuttles, take guided bus ride that you have to stand in line for about 45 minutes , and go in the hall of fame. Everything else is extra $30.00 and you have to sign up for when you get there by 12 they were all sold out. Don’t bother!

I’ve lived in the Tampa area for 12 years and have never made the trip to visit the Kennedy Space Center, and I’m so glad I finally did! Truly amazing exhibits and attractions. I learned so much amd was really interested by everything the entire time. Highly recommend for anyone even slightly interested in space and space travel, or for anyone who just enjoys new experiences and learning.

The staff were all so friendly! They were great with my 84yr old mom, and so helpful with her scooter and accommodations. 😃 The exhibits and rockets brought back so many memories, they brought me to tears a few times. It was like experiencing those historical events all over again. 😲

We were invited to watch the IMAP launch as a family member was part of the Imperial College London team that supplied the Mag. instrument.

Our time at the Visitor Centre was amazing. Couldn’t fault it. Probably a once in a lifetime experience.

...met my expectations - English skills are very beneficial to learn a little more about NASA's history and the idea

A wonderful experience and many memories of watching on TV the arrival of man on the moon as a child. History of the space race and the commitment of a nation. Congratulations!

Went with the family to KSC Complex and took advantage of the teacher discount. Wonderful experience for the whole family. We did the Bus Tour first, went to the Gantry at LC-39 (with great views of the area) and then we proceded to the Apollo/Saturn Center. Love that they added the Spaceport KFC with 4 simulators.

If like me you are a HUGE space fan, you can have a good experience but be warned - this is more hype than experience. More marketing than education. You do not get a glimpse inside any of NASA's actual working spaces--this is basically a space theme park with some real artifacts mixed in and actual science happening somewhere nearby unseen. You REALLY need to plan ahead and know what to do and what to skip, and that is not easy because their website is awful. Without someone to tell you, it is easy to waste your day here. Here are my tips: Do NOT miss the Virtual Reality moon experience and the Space Launch Simulation. These were excellent. You must book the Hyperdeck VR in advance. It was sold out when I got there tho luckily I had a reservation. Cannot tell you about the rest cause all the names are marketing ploys. I tried to find it on their website to get the exact name and could not find it! Had to dig out my receipt. IMAX movie was great.

I spent the entire day there from 9 to 5, and completely missed the Spaceport KSC complex which looks cool but as I said, once there you have no way of figuring it out. There is no obvious flow through the space. I only stumbled across it while writing this review.

The normal Bus Tour was pretty pointless unless there is a launch that day in which case it's how to get to the best viewing spot. The website claims the bus tour lets you "gain exclusive access to historic launch sites and operational spaceflight facilities" but that means you drive past buildings from a distance. I had binoculars and that helped. But, wow. Pretty dishonest. They do not make clear what you actually get for the $25 upgrade to the Explore Bus tour and anyway it was sold out already the day off, so...

Tons of shops and food outlets. It would be fine for kids but happily there is also enough for adults, unlike a lot of science museums these days. This is obviously a very for profit venture. $75 entry fee and additional fees for many things. Forget the app - it is worthless. It was so hard to figure out what to do and where to go that I downloaded it on the spot and it helped not at all. Maps aren't navigable, the info is not user friendly.

Bottom line - Plan ahead and set your expectations low and you might enjoy your time here.

The Kennedy space center is a large complex, it takes you the whole day for visit, better prepare for 2 days to visit, as some attractions may need to spend an hour to wait in line, and some need to book it in advanced, we have 2 simulator activities not able to do, if we have 2 days there, it will be fine, but our schedule is so tight that I have no more day to spend there, you can buy one day ticket first, if you found it's not enough, you can add on for a 2nd day, but need to do the add-on within 7 days. The tickets are very expensive, but maybe worth to go there once if you haven't been to. however, there are not much affordable accommodation nearby. We went there on Dec 29. The photo package is worth to add on during buying the tickets, there are 4 spots to take pictures, and you can wear the space suit to take photos by photographers.

First time back here after 40 years. There is a lot to see and do here. Very interesting exhibits. A day here is almost not enough time. Well worth the entrance fee.

Not much waiting time on both Saturday and Memorial Day.
Just for elementary kids to explore the orbit, the technologies and the histories mankind has established.
My boy especially loved the Atlantis.

It is a huge emotion, live the dream of man come true, see the maximum of technology... not just one become reality, the courage and the human ability to overcome its limits.... To build!

Took my daughter there and we both loved it. She learned a lot and enjoyed every moment of it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been there yet.

Long time Florida resident first time visiting Kennedy Space Center. Me and my wife took our 3 year old grandson here for his first time. The shows and play area for him was an amazing experience. We loved the gift shop and bought some great souvenirs that my grandson would not let go. Some of the areas were broken in the kids area. We got there at 9:30am and left at 4pm. My grandson was exhausted we couldn’t make it until 5pm closing. We did have to wait a few times 40 minutes while a large vehicle went 1 mile per hour. Why don’t they do this after or before the park opens? Other than that the day was perfect. It was busy but not Disney World busy. This Center for a family is awesome! Before we entered the park the lady that I paid for parking told us to take the buses first then come to the center. She was 100 percent correct!

Great for space enthusiasts and for children. Take lots of money. You will need it for lunch and for souvenirs.

If you're kids are into space they will the Kennedy Space Center.

Excellence experience with my son, who is studying aerospace engineering. We really enjoyed learning about the history of the space program as well as future programs, such as Artemis. Overall, a fantastic day!

We did the KSC Elite VIP Tour and it was AMAZING!!! Patrick was our guide and we had such a good time with him. 100% worth the money. I will do it again when I come back. We spent all day on the tour and got to see so much, but make sure you still plan to use the second day pass you’re given with the VIP tour! There’s SO MUCH to do at Kennedy Center it wasn’t even possible to fit it all in one day.

We bought the special bus package, extra $25 per person .. was a 2.5 hour bus ride around the same few buildings. While they were neat, the experience fell flat. Online reviews said the bus situation was confusing..it was not at all. Our bus tour started at 1pm, so we thought that was when we could arrive by, the tour ended at 3:30 and the park closed at 5pm. Little did we know we can go anytime before to check out the whole place, which we felt bummed with only 1.5 hrs left to try and see as much as possible. We understood at that moment why they push the 2 day pass. However, we all (family of 6) loved the actual centre and would go again but without the bus tour. (The bus was not worth it to us and a 2 day pass seems like over kill) the actual facility though is really cool!

We went for the first time and really was very impressed with the views, the history and the atmosphere. The bus tour was our highlight but the rest of the place was so amazing. 10 out of 10

We took 3 grandsons to see a launch..
although it was scrubbed , we bought a year family pass and be back tomorrow to see he go! The chat with the Astronaut experience was awesome!

Its NASA so you know its going to have amazing stuff and lots of high tech things to do and see. Loved the Astronaut Hall of Fame, the Apollo gallery and the rocket garden. Make sure you take the time to go out to the Space Mirror Memorial and pay respects to the fallen. No surprise that the absolute highlight is when the screen goes up and you get your first look at Atlantis. Breathtaking. So much to see and read and o so if your a space nerd then give yourself 2 days so you dont have to rush. Also suggest spend the extra $25 and take the The KSC Explore Tour. Gets you out and close to come of the launch pads which is well worth it

Beautiful everything. We spent all day touring from the bus to the imax cinemas (personal opinion, should be translated into Spanish, who know little about English we miss important explanations and I don't know can follow the video that are spectacular). All clean and very well maintained. 10/10

Really a nice place. A lot of history and friendly staff. It's perfect for 5 hour visit. Clean and tidy. Great to see the Saturn 5 booster in a air conditioned room.

It is educational there is a so much to experience and learn about. Everything was smooth. The lines were short and moved fast. We had lunch there and it very good and affordable. Don’t miss the space shuttle Atlantis experience that was my highlight!

While the Kennedy Space Center is rich in history and science, our visit was unfortunately less than enjoyable due to the rudeness of some staff. One of the bus drivers was extremely unpleasant, a gift shop employee was unnecessarily mean to my young daughter (it’s a child, for goodness’ sake), and even the photo collection agent was discourteous.

It felt as though their minds were already on clock-out time, and their unhappiness with their work showed in their interactions. This may reflect more on the working environment than the individuals themselves, but either way, it left us with a very negative impression. What should have been a memorable and inspiring experience turned into a disappointing one because of these unpleasant encounters.

Overall excellent. One staff member on the shuttle stimulator called out a visitor as his brolly had fell off the shelf . No need to name and shame.

Bucket list experience that didnt disappoint. Every corner crammed with more an more wonderful things to explore or learn. Bus tour was excellent, seeing Atlantic space shuttle was excellent, but the best of all was listening to and meeting a real astronaut called Steve Smith. Was a great chap and I was thrilled. A full days worth of things to see, we were sorry to leave. Had a nice lunch at the orbit cafe - basic fair but could order on a touch screen and was delivered fast. Really would recommend. We took a bus via Gray Tours. Prompt an brilliant service.

Kennedy Space Center is entertaining and educational. You will enjoy your day, even if you are not a space nerd. And if you are lucky, you will have a front row set for a launch included in the price of your ticket!

So much fun, and great staff all around the sites. Very informative & knowledgeable people. Felt very family friendly. Many different interactive & appeals to all.

What a fantastic time we had! Even the 2-year-old had a "blast." Wish we had arrived earlier. Five hours was not nearly enough.

You won't waste your here, this is history made and history in the making. This is a real working spaceport without cast members, and all with a mission at hand to further mankind into the next level.

We took our 5 year old Grandson who absolutely loves everything space here. He was amazed at the rides, exhibits and content shared. As a homeschooled kid this was great for him to experience. My wife and I in our 60s were also mesmerized by the quality of this venue.

Really enjoyed the day! Frustrated to have paid for Astro pass and never knew where to take the photos. Signs should be set up guys. If you charge for a service, it needs to be advertised. They don’t need to be massive signs, just a small one at the entrance people can see.

Throughly enjoyed our time and after 20yrs of trying we got to see a launch!
Impressed by the launch control and apollo archive footage.

Amazing tour with many attractions, for my wife was the realization of a dream.
We loved the visit was wonderful.

this was rather boring for me. i felt like since i was in Cape Canaveral i should go, but i found the whole experience rather underwhelming.

the complex is really spaced out which is why you have to take a bus to get to the various attractions. i knew i did not want to spend all day here and google said the top 3 things not to miss were the rocket garden, the space shuttle atlantis, and the apollo/saturn V center. so those were the sites i visited.

when you walk in to the center, the rocket garden is right there, but it would have been nice to have more information for each rocket. one section was completely blocked off. it would have been better if they had an information board up and let you know where each rocket is located.

the apollo/saturn V center was a huge dud for me. you get to stand under an engine to feel the power of it, or walk up high to get a view of the complex. that was basically it.

for me the best attraction was the space shuttle atlantis. the movie was really interesting and it was neat to see the space shuttle.

i think that unless you are a huge space buff or totally in need of something to do for a few hours, the space center isn't very worthwhile.

I followed the sign of exit at Heroes & legends featuring the U.S Astronaut Hall of Fame but it led me to the back gate of this attraction. With the help of one of the securities I went back to the main entrance of KSC. He was surprised that how can I got there . I think this exit door should be closed . I felt I landed Mars when I found there is no way out. Especially in the dark . Btw the ksc under the star holiday event is very special

I haven't been to the complex in almost 15 years (Atlantis had just made her final return to earth) so to see all the changes that have been made over the years was amazing. The new exhibits for Atlantis brought tears to my eyes (Might be biased because of my connection to Atlantis itself), probably spent two or three hours in the building itself.

We didnt do any of the "add on" tours, but honestly, it's still a good idea to do the two day pass, then spend the second day doing the add on tours (Since even getting there at park open, we didnt see all of the exhibits until almost 1500).

Didn't care for the "Gateway" complex. Walked in and couldn't tell I was looking at a SpaceX booster. The whole building is just one giant unskippable ad on Youtube. (However, the quick serve bowl spot was actually pretty good (Plenty of dietary options available).

Lastly, the dying idea of having pictures printed needs to just be put to rest. Then again, the photography options were pretty meh that you could get with the paid "Astropass" (If youve been to Disney, its KSC's version of the PhotoPass). Wouldnt be that bad if half the pictures didn't make sense, or that it wasnt the EXACT SAME POSE put against four other backgrounds.

A truly impressive event. Suitable for all ages. Here history is brought to life and enthusiasm is created.

Visiting the KSC is a must for everyone and even after repeated visits, there's always more to see and learn. The behind the scenes add-on tour is very worthwhile and a bargain!

I really enjoyed the Shuttle simulation/fly with an astronaut experience. Talking with an astronaut was informative and entertaining. A very cool educational experience! Just be prepared to stand during all displays/videos.

We went on a launch day, which was epic! Everything was amazing and there was so much to do and see. I wish they were open a little longer so that we could experience everything they had to offer.

My only suggestion would be more hand sanitizer stations since there are so many hands-on things and also more bottle fillers around the complex. It’s really hot in the summer and we found a couple, but wish there were more sprinkled throughout. Other than those things, our experience was phenomenal.

As a space nerd, this was one of the coolest things experiences ever. I loved every minute. So many interactive exhibits and more traditional artifacts from previous flights and even the astronauts themselves!

Great visit. Easy to walk around and see things. The bus tour was easy and well done. We saw the astronaut chat in the afternoon and it was inspiring. Great time.

I visited the Kennedy Space Center and didn’t see all of it but what I saw was underwhelming. The map doesn’t really say what each of the attractions contains so you don’t really know what to expect.
We took the bus and visited the Apollo Center and that was probably the most interesting because we could see a full scale rocket. A lot of it is catered towards children and teenagers and it lacks linear structure.
A lot of it feels like a cash grab. A lot of movies were shown that were super loud. It didn’t feel like the movies really enhanced the experience.

Very Nice place to visit for learnings and experiencing importance of space mission in our lives. Life time experience....

So much to look at and experience, will have to return again. We all enjoyed meeting astronaut Terrence Wilcutt. The kids were thrilled when he signed their photos. The Apollo Saturn center had so much to see. The space Atlantis exhibits were our absolute favorite. Then meeting an astronaut who actually was on the Atlantis missions….Amazing

Best experience I've had in a long time. Thanks for being available to the public. So much to see and do. Better than a theme park.

We had the best day here. We had the best tour guide and bus driver; Bart & Jean! Bart was so friendly, full of facts and very passionate about his work. Will definitely come again on our next holiday!!

Very impressive theme park with many offers and also technical backgrounds. The attraction also offers a bus tour and simulators - just great. The Space Center was very worth it.

First time to see a live rocket launch, amazing experience, best to see at Kennedy Space center, where they have a large outdoor projection screen and person describes what you see . Such as booster separation.

A great experience. Very current, with much of it interactive.
Luckily I didn’t have to wait in big lines for the different experiences.
Food Service is horrendous, though. They've put the man on the moon, but they have a harder time putting the food on the plates.

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex presents some of the greatest achievements of humanity in modern times, in epic style. The creativity, engineering and expertise at this location is world class. This is how education should be presented, as an inspiration to us all with real world examples of what can be possible when the right people and conditions are available to make it happen.

I thought, "there is no way we can spend five hours there." As it turned out, we spent over six hours there and it wasn't enough. My boys are still talking about it. Great exhibits, fun interaction, and an excellent spark for future scientific intrigue.

The exhibits are interesting, the guides say interesting things and are really knowledgeable. We had Patric and Ken as our guides, both of them are 10/10! Highly recommended to visit KSC, regardless of age, we spent the time from opening to closing easily.

Every lunch day is a busy day I would expect and where there’s many launches things should be normal but at 10 o’clock in the morning, I’ve visited one of the restrooms men’s and it was disgusting. There were plenty of ads for by this by that but very few informative here’s where you go to see in fact, no one actually gave us a schedule or a map. We had to hunt it down . When we were at the viewing site, the host talked about the video green bean six minutes or so behind and then was celebrating that it got up to eight or 10 seconds behind. We’re watching people go into space and we can’t get the video sync, our eyes to real time? Later in the day at the Atlantis exhibit on the first level 35% of the educational displays and hands-on for teens and kids were marked with a sign, not working out of order once again we’re in the technological high point of Florida and these machines on a Friday are not working. At the Saturn building you need to really work on Customer Service at the snack bar they could stand around looking busy but they could yell but they couldn’t say thank you or treat you like a customer. They sure wouldn’t make it at Disney would they. I go up there every couple of yearsthis time with teenage family and I’m not impressed with the management of the space center exhibits. This is no longer a highlight of taking visitors to my state.

Superb experience, strongly recommended! This is an incredibly well set up museum. There’s a massive variety of things to do and see. Do not miss the launch simulator! The guided tour bus ride out to the Saturn rocket is also fantastic. All of the staff is funny and friendly. This was my second trip and I loved it even more than last year. If you have the time and cash, definitely do the “fly with an astronaut “experience.

We loved been here. This is a must if you come to Florida. We’ve been lucky and witness a spaceX launch and it was really amazing

Excellent from a technology perspective and historical perspective. Fascinating to see the origins of so much which benefits our everyday life now.

Absolutely fabulous from the moment we entered until we left. It is so easy to get around and each exhibit was better and better as we went along through the day please do not miss the shuttle launch experience.

New experiences since I visited last time. Very emotional and detailed information. Keep up the good work! Hope to come again.

I don’t recommend unless you really enjoy watching movies. You wait in lines to be shoveled into a movie and just when you think it’s over, the doors open and another movie… we spent the entire day just waiting in lines and watching videos. Food is also very overpriced, I would recommend packing food instead if you’re planning on visiting.

There is so much to explore here, I wish we had more time here! We arrived later than planned and took the bus tour which was amazing, especially the Apollo building. However, the entire tour took about 3 hours and we only had an hour left to see the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. I recommend only doing the bus tour if you have an entire day there or if you have a 2 day pass so that you can enjoy all there is here. I wish we had time for the Imax, theater shows, live performances and Spaceport KSC. We definitely want to come back soon!

Arrived at noon after a two hour drive. Paid $250 for 3 people. Waited in one line for a ride for 45 minutes. It lasted about 5 minutes. Grabbed three ice cream cones. Yummy but $23. Stood in line 20 minutes for iMaX movie. Other visitors held places for their kids to play in play area. Line was outside and hot. When line advanced all of the kids returned to the line pushing those of us that waited further back. All of those individuals made it into see the movie and they shut the door in our faces. We were back in the car by 3pm with only an ice cream cone to show for it. Johnson Space Center is the real deal. This place is a Disney wanna be without the ability to make the magic happen

The long bus queue didn't make sense as they gave us a reservation. Why have reservations if we have to wait a half hour plus to get on a bus anyways?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – An unforgettable experience for the whole family!

Our visit to NASA Kennedy Space center was absolutely incredible! Not only was it a lot of fun, but it was also a huge learning experience for all of us. We got to see real spacecraft, learn about astronauts, and explore exhibits that made us feel like we were truly part of a space mission.

The place is super family-friendly — there’s something exciting for everyone, from kids to adults. My family and I left inspired, amazed, and more curious than ever about space and science.

If you’re looking for a perfect mix of education, inspiration, and adventure, NASA is 100% worth the trip. 🚀✨

This was our first trip to the KSC and I can say that we were definitely a little overwhelmed with what we saw, read and heard during our visit ... everytime we would turn around or round another corner it was another wow ... we easily got immersed in taking everything in we couldn't explore it all in one day ... but, we got us Two-Day Tickets and we just live up the road in Jacksonville so we'll be back sooner than later ‼️

For any fan of space exploration and history this is a must do. Even better to view a rocket launch from the Banana Creek viewing area by the Saturn V complex. One thing that would have been helpful to know is that they run the buses to Saturn V all morning. We were worried about missing the bus for launch viewing and didn't need to be.

So cool!!!! I went by myself, but there is plenty to do here with kids too. The exhibits were really interesting and very well done. The walking wasn't terrible and there were plenty of areas to find food or rest.
Highly recommend setting aside several hours to see it all. I wish I had more time! Kind of expensive but worth it.

This is my first one with my family and it’s been amazing. USA space program has been incredible and this center is where it all started . Goosebumps sitting in front of the controls which launched Apollo missions

This was amazing. The exhibits were awesome in the true sense. The staff was knowledgeable. We went on several tours and they were well worth the time . Richard did a tour of the rocket garden that was informative and fun.

Fly with an astronaut experience is amazing! Commander Bruce Melnick made it and unforgettable experience! I had no idea the space shuttle had no wheels up function...

The family had a great time. Lots to see and do. Plenty of interaction for young and old. We had fun and would return again.

The KSC is my favorite place to go with my family. It is super fun and educational and are inspiring. I highly recommend doing some of the behind-the-scenes tours because they are so interesting and you get to see deeper into the operations at the Kennedy Space Center. I am an annual pass holder and will continue to do that for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend it!

It was really good experience to be there today and I enjoyed it and it was amazing in my life I would to come again with my family

Came to witness our first ever rocket launch. The friendliness of everyone at the Kennedy Space Center was overwhelming. The countdown, the cheering and applause when the rocket fired off was exhilarating. The whole experience did not disappoint.

We purchased the "Feel the Heat" launch experience at Kennedy Space Center for the Crew11 launch. The view was incredible. The whole experience was amazing. We brought our niece and nephew and it is an experience they will remember forever!

Excellent educational experience, allows to discover the advancement as humanity we have had for men and women who sacrificed until their lives to advance the progress of our species.

The KSC Bus Tour was great! Courteous drivers and staff. The shows in the different stops are really great. Don’t miss it if you’re in the area!

A wonderful place with amazing persons supporting all the attractions and places. Very organized and clean, a piece of the history of the humanity. It is a MUST place to go

We brought visiting family to KSC last Monday, 8-4-2025. Two adults and 3 children. The whole complex is cashless which was a super irritating way to start the day. Parking is $15. Admission for our group was $350.00. Hamburger lunches averaged $20.00 each. Bottled water was $4.00. Family photo was $38 if you bought it. Nope. The space center used to be awesome. It was embarrassing. We would not have minded the prices as much, had it been a good experience. For what we experienced, it was highway robbery. The lines were LONG. Think 30 minutes to catch a bus, and even longer to get back. There is hardly anyplace to sit while waiting in the lines, or while kids waited in one line that took an hour. A 15 minute movie meant you stood for 40 minutes. Outside has no shade trees, just hot pavement and a canopy here and there. The buses used to go much further so one could see alligators, birds, and a peak at the ocean. Not anymore. Now, the scenery is asphalt, parked cars, buildings, and mucky ditches while they play a video. Never again.

So much to see. Set up is fantastic. Probably need 2 days to see it all!!
Staff are wonderful and very helpful.
A must to see.

What an amazing experience from start to finish! The detail in it and the surprises at the end was just jaw dropping!!!!!

I got the 2 day passes as a present for my husband who’s an engineer and totally into science. He absolutely loved it. The KSC did a fantastic job of presenting science and history in such an interesting and engaging way. The Rocket Garden at the entrance was fascinating. Take the tour. It’s worth the 15 minutes. The life size rockets and astronaut memorabilia displays throughout the park were amazing.

I also recommend the photo package. The pictures are fun and memorable.

There is so much to see. You really will need to get the 2 day passes. We didn’t get to finish everything we wanted to see that’s included with the regular visit. We’re saving some money to go back and include a few of the upgraded exhibits for our next visit. Totally worth the money and time.

Fantastic place to get inspired by the greatness of our nation when we all came together for a common goal. Let's do this again and explore new worlds

Spectacular attraction capturing the history of NASA and the future of space exploration through a combination of historical artifacts, interactive exhibits, video presentations, and family-friendly experiences.

Went as part of a tour. Loads to see and you won't have time to do it all in a day. I would recommend getting the bus when you get there to take you to another part then the next bus to the next part then back to the main bit. We had lunch at the Orbit Cafe and it was excellent and a good price. The best part was listening to a retired astronaut Mark Lee which was included in our standard ticket price. What a privilege! Would highly this full day out.

Very well done! The audio/video presentations tied amazingly to the exhibits. Need to be there all day to do it all. We did the bus tour and Atlantis before we had to left but will try to get back to finish the rest.

The Kennedy Space Center was everything I expected and more. We bought the two-day pass, which was only a few dollars more and allowed us to take our time with 13 and 14 YO grandchildren. They had a blast and were looking forward to going back the second day. There are places to sit down and rest, and all the buildings are well air conditioned. There are lots of interactive things to do, and the kids were never bored. I can’t pick a favorite exhibit, maybe the Atlantis shuttle or the Apollo/Saturn V Center. The Hyperdeck virtual reality experience was a lot of fun.

A visit to the KSC will make you feel proud to be an American! We will definitely go back.

The experience: amazing and very informative.
Crowd size: The gateway: deep space attractions had wait times of 55 minutes. Everything else was ok.? However, the deep orbit cafe had no tables left so they opened a separate dining room.
Location: a bit of history- During the Cold War the US ‘hid’ the launch site so the Soviet Union couldn’t find it because of the areas natural cloud cover. So, it is likely to see rain, thunderstorms, or clouds in general.
Value: very much worth it!
Recommended length of visit: 4-5 hours
Wait time to enter the complex: 1 minute
General tips: bring a drink or reusable bottle
Important info: 8 cafes including an ice cream stand, 6 public use parking lots

We arrived around 12 today, had a short walk round the first section but decided to head straight for the bus tour. This was a big mistake, we waiting in line for an hour and 35 minutes for a bus!!! This is not acceptable! We then got dropped at the first stop which we then had to wait another 35 minutes for a bus to the apollo centre.
When we arrived my 9 year old son was excited to see the rockets and learn more. But due to the time it took to wait for the bus we only had max 30 minutes in the centre, during this time we only was able to get food and a quick look round the shop before we was shipped out to the bus stop again!!
We have paid for 4 tickets to spend the majority of our time here waiting on a bus! We are from England and was extremely excited about visiting and our day has been well and truly ruined by this experience! My son has suggested renaming this place The Kennedy wait centre.
4 extremely disappointed customers.

Wow a life changing visit! This need to be on your bucket list ! Had the best day ever it made our visit ! Could have visited over two days but just did the one ! I want to go back already !

There’s so much to do here and so much to see. Go on a day where there’s not a lot of crowds and you’ll have an amazing experience.
Just a tip. If you get there first thing in the morning, go to the Atlantis section 1st. Before getting on the bus. The crowds don’t gather there till the afternoon after coming back from the bus tours.

Had a fantastic day here. The Atlantis exhibit was the absolute highlight - mind blowing. The new gantry was good too - impressive to see out to the launch areas…even saw an odd gator on the bus ride.
Kids liked the play area. Food was ok for this type of place (I’d heard bad things but ours was nice).
It was hotter than the sun in between the exhibits, so prepare for that!

Amazing! Worth a visit! We arrived at 9.15, a few minutes after the opening and we did not queue. We bought tickets online. We stayed there about 6 hours enjoying everything calmly. Bring a sweatshirt because inside the various sheds the temperature is “polar”!!
I recommend starting with the bus tour
that takes you past NASA's gates, through the operational areas and to the Apollo/Saturn V center, near the launch zones. This tour is included in the entrance fee.
The various halls trace the history of NASA in a scenic, engaging and spectacular way.

It was fantastic. I dont know how i can describe it different. We have Seen every atraction, and i'm very satisfied. I Hope my father think that too.

I went to KSC as a kid, but this time to my 15 year old son. We went in November, which was great because it was cool and not crowded. I enjoyed re-living space history, especially the Atlantis museum. The food was decent quality at a reasonable price, and they even had a healthy option aside from burgers and fries. The Spaceport KSC attraction left a little to be desired for the wait we had, but it was okay. The bus tour, Apollo exhibit, and Atlantis exhibit are a must.

Very interesting especially for young people.
The history of the development of the space race and its successes and failures are appreciated

Great atmosphere. My daughter loved the play ground and space shuttle slide! My wife, children, sister, and I enjoyed being up close to Atlantis and a Saturn V rocket! Staff was very knowledgeable, helpful, and courteous!

We have been to the space center quite a few times. I finally got season passes since we live so close. It’s a great place to experience the history of our space program at the place where it happened. There is really nothing like it anywhere else. Go on a launch day and find a good observation point. Take the bus tour FIRST!

We had a great visit to Kennedy Space Center last year, which is why we flew from the West Coast for my child to attend the KSC Camp. But this camp experience was heartbreaking. From the first day, my son and his Asian friend were ignored and treated unfairly by their counselor — eye rolls during introductions, no response when they raised hands, and being singled out during group activities despite doing the same as others.

The counselor even questioned whether my son’s hearing or English ability was “okay,” even though he was born and raised in the U.S. The worst came when another child admitted to making an inappropriate joke, yet the counselor still blamed my son and asked, “Can you prove it wasn’t you?”

My child became terrified, cried at night, and begged not to go back. He even overheard another counselor telling an Asian boy, “Stop that, you chinchong.” We were shocked and devastated. This was our first encounter with blatant racism at a children’s camp — and at NASA, of all places. Unacceptable and deeply harmful.

I believe they should minimize the time spent on digital presentations. Nowadays, with social media, YouTube, and the internet in general, many people have already seen even more than you're projecting. They can focus much more on interactive, contact, virtual reality, and/or 3D experiences.

Regarding the facilities, games, simulators, etc., many were out of service, and the bathrooms were a bit messy and even dirty. I felt like I was in a place like any other, except in this case, I paid $450.

Regarding the service, I feel your staff should convey much more empathy and be more friendly. I understand that "it's NASA," but even so, we're still on Earth; they are, and we (the visitors) are, human beings too. I'm Latino, I speak little English, and several times I wasn't given clear instructions, nor did they check with me to see if I understood correctly or make sure I understood the information correctly. I saw a lot of people from all over the world, so knowing a bit of another language should be among your priorities and those of the employees.

For example, I bought an Annual Pass for my wife, my 3-year-old son, and I mistakenly got in line for the special EXPLORE tour. When I got to the end of the line, the person checking people in simply said, "Your pass doesn't include it." They could have explained, "You're in the wrong line. Please wait a moment, and I'll get you in the correct line."
You could be a little more proactive in explaining to Annual Pass holders what options we have, not just giving a simple "No" as an answer.

Many attractions were surprising, fascinating, and unforgettable, but others left me with a lot to think about.
Again, I know this is NASA, you're a respected facility, one of the best in the world, and there are new worlds to explore. So, I think the challenges are nothing to you. You still have some to overcome, and I know you will.

My rating is 3.8/5.0 for this opportunity. I will return again with my family, and I'm sure it will be even better. Best regards.

It was a great entertaining and educational experience! The attractions were outstanding! Thank you and we will definitely be returning to the Kennedy Space Center Complex!

A must have experience for all kids and adults of all ages. We spent two days at KSC and thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

What a fantastic place! There is so much to see we bought a 2 day ticket which was great value. We recommend you see the space shuttle Atlantis which was breathtaking. We ate in Space Bowl which was offering fresh food bowls and it was delicious. Most attractions are indoors which was perfect as it was too hot outside.

Our longest wait time was 30 mins for the simulated journey to mars which was amazing.

Day 1 we went straight to the bus tour so didnt have to queue for long. Day 2 we went straight to Atlantis building which was great as it was quiet. We were able to do all the interactive experiences with hardly anyone elae around.

Truly one of my favourite experiences on this planet! If you have no interest in space exploration I can guarantee a visit here will change your mind.

Over the last 20 years I have been to the Kennedy Space Centre 5 times. Each visit the center has invested, expanded and developed by adding new exhibits and experiences. The complex is a full day of not more to really take everything in, however most Orlando visitors will only commit one day here so make sure you arrive for opening to ensure you can capture various showtimes and take it all in.

Highlights for me were the Bus Tour, this is where you will see the iconic assembly building and historic Saturn V rocket! The newer Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit is also fantastic alongside the IMAX screenings but those are just my highlights.

We will continue to return on our trips to Orlando. A great value day out.

Excellent. Fully recommended. Immersive experiences, history and knowledge about the special race and the near future

Great museum experience similar to Universal attraction. Must see. 1 day is not enough! Get extended bus tour. Very entertaining guide John is the best.

So worth the trip! This is an amazing day for anyone! I spent several hours and could have spent several more. There is so much to see and do.

It's been 20 years since my last visit and I've thoroughly enjoying my 2nd with my children who had a fabulous time, even seeing Space X prep for launch tonight. My only complain is the incredibly rude park warden who basically chases us out the park! Why let us watch a video about Atlantis, reveal the shuttle and then chase us out, very rudely and abruptly!! Might as well have poked us with a stick out the door. I appreciate you want too get home but I've just flown over 3k miles and then 2 hours by car to get here!! We don't get to see this in the UK Midlands!! I didn't appreciate his tone and attitude. Suggest a customer service refresh for him.

Nice experience being in that historic place. Lots of museum and history. The best thing was the simulator. The worst are the bus places far away

My husband really like this complex. We saw pretty much everything that was included with our ticket. We did skip Atlantis as we found out it was a movie and we didn't want to sit through it. But, the rest of the complex was really good. I didn't plan well enough to see a space launch, so maybe next time. He really wanted to see that. I thought the buildings were clean, lots of room for everyone. Very eye opening to see what space exploration was all about. I think everyone should see it once. I really liked it and learned a lot and not that big into space. Lots of food options as well. Looked like a nice play area for kids. Very enjoyable.

The Kennedy Space Center offers something for ALL ages and nationalities. Fun and educational. Pride is exhibited everywhere in the exhibits and staff. Extremely clean environment. Touring even on your own is a minimum 5 hours to take everything in.

I would love some spanish and some other languages translations for the videos! Maybe in the app or under the videos! maybe QR codes in the explanations for other languages.

This place is incredible. If you are a space lover, THIS IS A MUST DO! It's huge though so you will need more than a day to see everything. You may need more than 2 depending on the crowds. I also highly recommend to see a rocket launch. They have many vip experiences but you really don't need to do them unless you've been here multiple times. Enjoy your visit!

Amazing place, specially for a space exploration fan like me. What I liked most was the Gateway where the spaceships that are used today and that will be used in the future were, but everything was great.

Beautiful experience, especially if you like space trips and technology. Saturn V and Shuttle Atlantis are the best experiences. Explore bus tour not worth it. Many other things to see and do but the opening time 9 am to 5 pm are too short for a one day visit. Good value for the (base) ticket price

After a day at the Kennedy space centre we have left having thoroughly enjoyed the day. The highlight was a talk from astronaut Ken Cameron that was informative, interesting and at times funny.

Third time over the years we have visited and it always seems to get better.
Favourite things are the Saturn V, Atlantis shuttle and the shuttle launch experience.
As it was the start of the week it was quiet and there were no queues for anything.
The downside was the food in the cafe which was poor quality and over priced.

Fun and educational for all ages. Well organized activities enable us (senior couple) to spend the full day and cover almost all attractions. Itinerary provided at the Information center at the entrance made it possible. Great displays, documentaries (IMAX), VR experience.
Plenty of restrooms and fairly priced food/snack/drink options everywhere, conveniently located and clean. Wear good comfortable walking shoes and clothes.

We took our family of 4. We hoped to also time the visit with seeing a launch but those were moved to the next day. Either way, we had a great time and our 7 year old did not want to leave at the end of the day.

It was fascinating to see all of the history and take the bus tour to the Gantry and other stops.

We also did the fun spacesuit family photo shoot option and had a great time. I went ahead and splurged for the all digital photos and these are going to be cherished forever. So silly and fun. Captured the day perfectly.

All wonderful, but could have some kind of translator in the sectors we were like we saw in New York when we visited

I think the closing time should be around 20h for the atractions that are indoor, because when we finished the bus tour, we had little time to do the indoor atractions

Fantastic time, I had chills, every dreams cam came thru . Gluten free food, so nice staff, you can feel NASA mood. I love you

Was there July 17th as a birthday gift to myself while on vacation with my family. KSC is great but some of the staff there don't give a damn about anything. We had tickets for the Explorer Tour and when I asked if we were in the correct line, we were guided to a photographer who then guided us to someone else. I saw the sign for the Explorer Tour line and followed that. When we got to the front of the line, I asked the lady (more like a young girl) if we were in the correct line. She was too busy playing with her hair and fingernails to say anything other than "yeah" and went back to plating with her hair. She then told us and another family to move to the side because a large tour group was coming. Then she told everyone to get on the bus while she was checking her fingernails. Of course, it turned out to be the wrong bus and we missed our tour. Thankfully, we did get the tour tickets refunded. The KSC overall is great, and we had fun. The exhibits, attractions and movies are fun and a great way to get out of the heat, plus you actually learn something! The gift shops are okay but nothing like they used to be. Now it's mainly shirts, trinkets and snacks. They used to sell gold and silver coins, beautiful models of different rockets and shuttles, things of real value but not anymore. Most of the staff there seem to be disinterested and just there. Some are even nasty and rude! Overall, KSC is a great way to spend a day with your family (or alone) and have a blast and maybe even see or learn something new!

We spent a whole day at Kennedy Space Center – and it was absolutely fascinating. The grounds are extensive, well organized and offer an incredible number of highlights for the whole family.

We were particularly impressed by the interactive launch experience – you feel like you are really taking off! The bus tour to Apollo/Saturn V Hall was also great – including a rarely opened route overlooking Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, where we even saw dolphins.

The exhibitions are lively, modern and full of hands-on stations – space history to touch, experience and marvel at. From the Apollo missions to the Space Shuttle and the Artemis mission of the future – everything is exciting.

Our personal highlight:
A real moonstone to touch. A quiet, awe-inspiring moment that we will never forget.

We also enjoyed the IMAX cinema and the Rocket Garden – ideal for experiencing the whole thing with children. The staff was friendly, everything was clean and well signposted.

Tip: Be sure to plan a whole day – it’s worth it!

Excellent experience, finding information on the advances of humanity, the people behind each feat, the sacrifices with the lives of some, leaves a mark when visiting this complex.

Splurged for the guided tour, bus got stuck behind space x rocket and our guide and driver were amazing at keeping our attention with stories and random facts.

Booking the tour is easiest on thier website and they have ann app with searchable attractions.

Apollo center is worth the upgrade, however you will not have enough time to see everything at both locations in a single day.

KSC is absolutely excellent. There is so much to see. It definitely takes 2 - 3 dates to give the exhibits the attention they deserve. My only recommendation is to take bug spray. The Gantry at LC-39 and Saturn V Center has a tremendous amount of mosquitos. The gift shop sell bug spray if you forget!

If you’re in Florida, in the Orlando area and then Disney and Universal Studios parks, you’re less than an hour’s drive from Kennedy Space Center.
For adults, kids and children an exciting dive into the world of astronomy: launch simulators, rockets and even astronaut training...
Not to be missed!

We had so much fun! So many activities to do! Astronaut Virtual simulation was cool! We enjoyed the tour. Very insightful and hands on fun!

Definitely won't say you have to stay away if you are interested in the NASA or space for so it super tight and interesting but if not then save the money.

Excellent experience! Highly recommended! Ive been with schools and with family and had a great experience every time!

My wife and I were really looking forward to visiting the Kennedy Space Center, especially since we’re expecting a child and thought this might become a place we’d return to as a family. Unfortunately, our visit was a huge disappointment and honestly not worth the time or money.

It started with over an hour of waiting just to get into the parking lot. The line of cars barely moved, and there was no clear direction or explanation from staff about what was causing the delay. By the time we finally parked and got inside, we had already lost a big chunk of our day.

Things didn’t improve much once we were in. The line for the bus tour was extremely long — easily another hour or more of standing around in the heat. It felt like everything required waiting in line, and there wasn’t much to do while we waited.

What really frustrated us was the lack of communication about the rocket launch schedule. One of the main reasons we came that day was to see the launch, but we didn’t find out until we were already there that the time had been pushed back by three hours. That information should have been clearly posted on their website or social media, but it wasn’t. We would have planned our day differently if we’d known.

By the end of the visit, it felt like most of our time was spent waiting in lines instead of actually enjoying the exhibits. While the displays and the facility itself are impressive, the overall experience just didn’t live up to expectations.

We had even considered buying an annual pass since we’re planning for our growing family, but after this experience, we’re really reconsidering it. It’s disappointing because this could be such an amazing place if it were better managed and more visitor-friendly.

Bottom line: Be prepared for long waits, poor communication, and a lot of frustration. We left feeling more disappointed than inspired.

What a fun time we all had at the KSC! Even if you aren't too interested in outerspace the sheer size and history of the place and space program is so cool to witness in person. Keep updating and changing to keep people coming back please!

Improvement since my last visit of 14 years ago. Well organized and very informative. Learned a lot and will recommend to all.

Very organized and interactive the park. Excellent experience for all ages, with plenty of scientific and educational information.

Very nice place, too big to visit on one day tour. I’m impressed about the things that you have to do At the visitor Park. I must return on another moment to finish the tour

An Unforgettable Adventure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visiting the Kennedy Space Center for the 2nd time was an adventure I’ll never forget. You really get the full experience of what NASA has accomplished, what they’re currently working on, and their exciting plans for the future. From interactive exhibits (great fun for kids!) and immersive IMAX movies to the truly awe-inspiring sights like the full-size Saturn V rocket and the Space Shuttle Atlantis — every moment is worth it.

It’s also fascinating to learn about the Artemis program and NASA’s vision for sending humans back to the Moon and eventually on to Mars.

Be prepared for plenty of walking, and don’t miss grabbing a classic burger at the café, a Starbucks coffee, or even an ice cream along the way — it’s all part of the experience!

An absolute must-visit and a truly unforgettable day!

The Kennedy Space Center in Florida is outstanding and always exciting to visit. We love going and take our grandchildren when we can. It is educational and it is fun. Great exhibits, experiences, and so much more. A Must See and Do!

This is an amazing and very interesting facility with so much history and also so much about the future. We really enjoyed the bus tour, rocket garden and IMEX showing.

What was disappointing is that there is so much to do and see but not enough time to do it all . The complex closes at 5pm but had we had another couple of hours then we would have been able to do a lot more for example they say to allow 3 hours for the bus tour, which was excellent but meant there were other things we couldn’t do.

The IMEX showings were not frequent enough. We just missed the 3pm showing but then had to wait until 4.30pm for another.

Catering facilities let this visit down . We stopped for drinks in the restaurant by the shuttle but the soft drink dispensers had run out of Diet Coke and coke . I reported it but nobody came to replace the drinks. Similarly we used the orbit cafe for lunch for which we had vouchers . We were unable to order 4 meals together for the family as only one voucher could be used per meal . This delayed us again . The cafe also closed at 4pm so my daughter arriving at 4.10pm was unable to order lunch .

One member of staff was quite rude to my daughter too who asked for directions . A stark contrast to the staff and people we had met elsewhere on our visit to Florida.

All in all a good day but could have been better if it had been staffed better and with more customer focus

Need marks on floor in cinematic 3d presentation on NASA earth information center. Need sits on events rooms, is a great show, i loved, back in 2026…

Older children, or kids who really love space may really love this museum. However, the Kennedy Space Center is not really limiting admission numbers (which is a choice they could make given the fact that their tickets are sold for specific dates) and this leads to really long lines. If your kids love space, they may be able to power through the lines and enjoy this experience. I'd read reviews that said this museum was really enjoyable for kids who aren't that interested in space, and I'd have to say that at least for my kids, age 6 and 10, that would only have been the case if they weren't standing on so many lines. The bus line was outdoors in the Florida heat, where it feels like you are standing in line on the surface of the sun. We had to give up on the bus line after about 30 minutes because we realized if we got trapped on a similar line trying to get back the kids might completely melt down. Part of the problem is that there is no way to judge how long the line is - the bus line went down a corridor, and we thought we were getting close to the end but then it turned out the corridor leads to a whole separate building with a new line to go through until you actually reach the buses. If they had a time posted estimate like Disney or Universal we would have a sense of whether our kids can handle the line. We tried to visit Atlantis, saw a long line winding through the hallways and decided to leave because we couldn't risk another long line, but its possible the line was only 10 minutes, in which case our kids would have been fine. If there were signs posted that estimated your wait time from this distance parents would have an easier time knowing if their kids will make it to an attraction.

The kids play center is a really fun place to explore, and a nice break from the heat. There is a separate small area for small children, but parents of older ones please note that the play zone spans across two floors, and there are really cool slides and climbing features that let kids go up or down a floor. Kids will love sliding or climbing through the floors, but parents need to be aware of the fact that since the kids are climbing between floors it would be quite difficult to closely supervise multiple children in the play zone. But if your children are old enough to be outside your line of site briefly (or young enough to stay in the more secure smaller child area) it is a really special and enjoyable playground.

When we originally planned this visit, there was no launch scheduled and we thought the crowds would be manageable. But what I didn't realize was that launches get rescheduled, and a scrubbed launch a few days ago was rescheduled for the date of our visit. Cruise ship passengers need to be particularly aware of this, since you purchase tickets in advance without necessarily knowing if there will be a launch during the date of your visit. If your kids loves space, they might be willing to stand in line for longer and a visit to the Kennedy center would hopefully go better for you, but if your children aren't space kids, the crowds and heat during the summer might make this a poor value given the price of the tickets.

Kennedy Space Center is worth a visit. Lots of great impressions and interesting films. We couldn't even see everything in either place...

The story leading up to the moon landing and the Space Shuttle program presented great. Impressive exhibits. Amazing how much foresight all this was designed and then used

Highly recommended! Spend the extra money on the Explore Tour, our guide Ken & driver Daniel were excellent. Ken had some fantastic stories to tell about the people he's meet working at NASA, and the sites were incredible.

Great exhibition….in view of all the ‘buzz in today’s world’ it makes you feel proud of what collectively mankind has accomplished and what’s in store for the future. Absolutely amazing!

Be prepared for a lot of woke. IMAX movie deep space is way too woke and anti-Christian. You will want to do the paid excursions. They are a little more private and personal.

We tried out the new experiences on this visit: Spaceport KSC, Explore Tour (including the new Gantry stop). Had a great day. We'd visited previously, and were lucky to have this be a follow up visit following a cruise to fill the day before a late flight....because there's so much the center has to offer now, that fitting it all into one day is getting hard (we didn't make it to Heroes and Legends or Atlantis this visit, but had done those experiences before, so we didn't feel like we'd missed out.) We still hope to return to see some of the IMAX film offerings in the future

It was not busy on this trip and a very enjoyable experience. It was decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch. Exhibits are great as always and it's nice to see the Artemis program coming together.

I recommend it, especially for those who want to do something different and escape the parks of Orlando. Lots of history and culture.

Great time, lots to see and very informative. The displays were awesome and the movies were just the perfect length. Admission fee was fair.

Awesome! That is the only way to describe NASA. We took our 12 year old who has dreams of becoming a robotic engineer and work for NASA and this experience has fuelled his determination to succeed. Surreal exhibits and experiences. We can’t highlight a favourite because everything is jaw dropping. We spent the entire day there and could have easily gone back for another full day because of everything there is to do and see. Ticket prices are reasonable and there are so many things included in that price such as a bus tour, all of the exhibits and even a meet and greet with an Astronaut!

I'd give this 15 stars if I could. The changes from when I last went with my dad back in 1997 make this a full day visit and an interesting one too. I was there with my wife and 82 yr old mum and we all found it very good.
TIP: take the bus tour as soon as you arrive as you'll need 2.5 to 3 hours to appreciate the whole site and the Saturn V centre. This bus tour was so well done from start to finish. (Back in 1997 we were lucky enough to see the gigantic caterpillar carriage moving along at 1 mph. Amazing)
The new Atlantis building was new to us this time and that was fantastic.
It's a great day out even if you are not a big space fan. It's amazing history after all and incredible achievements for all of us. Highly recommended.

You can’t help but be impressed by this place. Staff are knowledgeable and eager to tell you more about the scenes. Everything is well organised

Interesting. Thank you for keeping the low sensory areas visible. My son has autism. Easily overstimulated
Really loved seeing the ATLANTIS Shuttle
This really shines a good historical light on the American Space program

Existing very well organized place. You will enjoy whole of your day here. Visiting is fun, instructive and impressive.

We have taken are son to Disney when he was almost 5 and now again at 7 so that he “could embrace Disney more this time” (his words), and after visiting Kennedy Space Center ( because he was “Disney-ed out”),I’m kicking myself for all the money I wasted at Disney Parks/Resorts. My son smiled and enjoyed himself more in just 1 visit to KSC than he has the combined 2 weeks at Disney. KSC facilities and layout are perfect for enjoying yourself comfortably even in 100 degree heat. The exhibits are amazing & extremely enjoyable for everyone,even if you’re not a huge fan of Space Aviation. They have wonderful cafes, a 3 level play area, a huge gift shop, and so much more when you need a break from all the knowledge you will receive ;) The employees are also super friendly & knowledgeable. If you’re near KSC or “Disney-ed” out in Orlando I would definitely recommend visiting KSC. You won’t be disappointed!

Very interesting place, we all - adults and kids, loved it. Very well organised, very informative. We did see and learn so much of space history, the grandiosity. It was much more and better than we expected.

Kennedy Space Center is totally worth a visit, but why not 5 stars? There are a lot of films to watch and the tour needs a little more guidance. Our first bus driver dropped us off but didn’t explain that we didn’t get back into that bus! Gantry 39 needs more explanation we didn’t realise what we were seeing until after we left. The shuttle Atlantis is amazing and a great piece of theatre precludes this. Food choice is ok our group had mixed opinions, i just think the standard could be better. Go early, go on the bus tour and enjoy learning about the history of the space center.

Quite great decor that offers something for every age. The opening hours are calculated comparatively concise (9am-5pm), so we didn't manage to look at everything. Therefore, it is best to make a plan in advance so that you see as much as possible. It's a shame otherwise, because everything is really interesting and well designed.
A little tip: A few events can be booked exclusively via the app. For example, we had a very fun game with virtual reality glasses, which was great fun for the whole family.

I was at a convention in Orlando. Visiting Kennedy Space Center was offered as an excursion before it started. This was such a fun place to go. There was so much to see and do and learn. Our group hired a shuttle bus to take us. Our guide on the bus recommended taking the bus tour first then go to the Atlantis display. I am so glad I took her advice as we avoided the crowds. I plan to go again and take my husband, but we need 2 days to see everything. The 2 exhibits we visited took us about 6 hours. I spent the day amazed and learned so much, even though I was alive for almost all of it.

We had a great time. Met an astronaut, learned a lot while having fun. Try an time it during a launch and you'll be 'blown away'! (pun intended 😉) We didn't do any of the 'special/VIP' stuff, so were able to see everything in one day, but even then it was a VERY full day. If you want do do a leasurely trip and one/more of the special events, plan on two days. We'll be back.

Incredible. Some thing that has been on my bucket list since I was a kid and I wandered round like a child all day.

Great exhibits, decent food and an all round amazing day. Loved every bit of it.

A really exciting and immersive experience. The VIP bus tour was worth the extra cost as it takes you to parts of the Space Center that are usually off limits. We were there for a full day and we could have used another day more!

My recent visit to NASA was pretty disappointing, earning a solid 2-star rating. The biggest issue was the heat – it was incredibly hot, which made exploring the outdoor exhibits almost unbearable. On top of that, the internal bus system was really confusing and hard to figure out. It felt like we wasted a lot of time just trying to understand the routes and stops.

Everything also moved at a snail's pace. There were long, drawn-out waits between stations and attractions, making the whole experience feel incredibly inefficient. If you're planning a trip, I'd strongly advise against going in the summer. You'll likely end up feeling hot, frustrated, and like you're constantly waiting around.

Kennedy visitors center is spotless all the attractions are stimulating, educating and fun! Everything you could want for a beautiful day

It was amazing! My family got to witness a launch today which was very exciting. The gift shop was fun too! Educational at its best!

Such an amazing, educational and interactive experience for both adults and kids. Made some lasting memories for sure! Thanks!

I am 36 years old, two daughters, I come from a very small city in Argentina, and since I am 7 years old I dreamed of visiting this place. I sent letters when I was little but they never came. It was very beautiful and mobilizing for me. The truth is that amazing everything, organization, cleanliness, place. Thank you very much. I hope I can go back to my daughters one day. My dream came true.

Place was amazing! We are coming back again. Ken and Ken on bus 02 were awesome! Everyone should experience, words don’t do a justice.

We were unsure what to expect and the park is fairly small but there’s a lot to do and see

Staff are really helpful and happy which makes the day better.

We only went for general admission for one day but it was enough and gave an insight to more than just rockets and shuttles. It gives a sense of depth of all the people who make space travel possible and those who sacrificed there lives in the process and clearly NASA hasn’t forgotten them.

I’d say it’s an unusual experience but a must do if you’re in the area.

The experience is awesome. Really great information and the rocket garden is impressive. Takes time but well worth it.

It is a must see and experience it all. Good Job to whom ever set up the system. The busses the information provided is amazing. Thank you for all you did and do.

Amazing. Great place to visit. The spaceships, all the information they give you. Can't miss it of you go to miami or orlando

Awesome weather and a great visit to the space center! The Atlantis shuttle is awe inspiring - and the tours are great. Definitely worth the time and cost. Keep up the great work!

I haven't been in over 20 years. My wife has never been. I am surprised at how it has grown & improved since then. We had a great time & look forward to day 2 tomorrow.

Interesting everything you have to teach us and lots of space history to show us, although we lacked attractions to travel. He's a little retired.

Great experience was amazing. So much to see, learn and experience. Give yourself time otherwise take two days where the 2nd is only a fraction of the price

We visited in June 2025 with family. It was great experience, so much history to see and explore. On practical side, food was not that expensive. We took KSC Explore Tour and can recommend it. It was 25 dollars for 2 hours tour in bus with 3 steps in the most iconic places where we could take photos and ask questions to guide. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, also with not that strong accent so easy to understand and follow ;)

Fantastic day out. More interesting than before. The layout and presentation of all the space suits gloves etc is well thought out . Enough said . Think we enjoyed it .

A wonderful opportunity to ignite your passion for space and join humanity’s ambitious plans with the Artemis program

It’s a good mix of education, pride and theme park like activities. Museum and videos are educational and learning about accomplishments is a pride for every us citizen and may be for all humans. The hyperdeck VR is ultimate (note it requires additional timeslot booking though it’s free) there are free activities that needs booking and these are like theme park quality

Make sure to purchase the Astropass! This trip was planned to celebrate our new Aerospace Engineer grad from VT, and the pictures are so fun! The food is as expected for a park. The staff is accommodating and pleasant and the guests are almost all engineers— black socks with tennis shoes crowd. No fighting, no pushing, all geek talk! Loved it!

We love KSC. The last time we were there was probably ten years ago. They added some new things including 3 simulator rides. My 9 year old enjoyed but younger children may not since it’s very educational. Hoping they will have more things to do and more dining options in the future.

So much to see and do, hard to immerse yourself completely and enjoy it all in one day but so much to see. The exhibitions and things to do span a wide range for family of all ages.

Is a great place to visit. Lots of information and facts and little activities to do. Got to pretty much do everything. It was not that crowded during the week .The only thing is I would wish they would let you know that the little tour train stops at 2:00 would have done that first thing in the park then got to speak into an astronaut. I missed out on that

First time going, arrived about 11:30am parking lines backed up out to the highway. Not knowing anything about the park we grabbed some maps and attempted to go to a couple of attractions, lines were ridiculous. Had to make reservations to come back for a ride at 5pm. Tried to go to some other places but all waits were astronomical. Every place we did wait to see had no seats and you had to wait for at least an hour standing in line only to go into the attraction where there was little to no seating. It’s as if they don’t believe in giving you any option to sit down and watch a presentation except maybe the iMax which we tried 3 different times to get in only to find it was full each time. Didn’t even get a chance to make it on the bus tour to the launch pads as the line was backed up into the main park area. The 3 things we did enjoy was the churros in the rocket garden, props to the employees there as they were super nice, the Atlantis shuttle reveal was pretty cool and the drone show at the end of the night was nice. Otherwise I wouldn’t waste my time going at such a busy time of year. It may have been a better experience at any other time but sad that they can pack so many in the park and basically oversell the tickets so you can’t get to experience as much as you’d like. I appreciate all our astronauts have done but sad it was such a negative experience for us. I might also mention that 95% of the gift shop items are made in China, sad to see such an amazing country that can build rocket ships to reach the moon, can’t even make a teddy bear anymore.

Last visit was 50 years ago. Yes, I’m that old. So many things have changed for the much better. There are more places to eat and more things to do. And the Florida weather is hot, so there is more to do in the A/C! Of course the highlight is seeing all the rockets and equipment, but there are IMAX movies and other shows to put you in the experience. The shuttle launch experience was worth it and gives you a better appreciation in a small span of time what they go through. We did everything expect the VR experience and still felt like the time was well spent. There are several experiences that are an additional cost, we didn’t attend, so I can’t speak about those. When we first came down in the ‘70’s we were able to get out of the bus and go inside the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building). No longer an option, but you can pay extra to get closer and take pics. The bus drivers were very friendly and knowledgeable even if the ride is short. The staff were friendly and all seemed to like their jobs well enough. The app is helpful but the handful of people working there didn’t seem to be able to use it so I think it’s a newer app. There was supposed to be a self guided tour feature which we could never find. But it didn’t distract from using the app to help with show times and locations of things. The food was much better and more choices and healthier ones available. Now, would I pay $70 for the experience, probably have to think about that. I’m a vet and they offer a week in May that is free for military and vets and half price for up to 4 other people in your party. So, my mom and I went and really only paid $20 each. More than worth it. I would have to think about it a little harder if the cost was $70 per person. Now even at that cost the center was not as crowded as I thought it would be. We didn’t feel rushed or pushed like you do at some of the big theme parks. Great place for schools to visit with students. I think this is for older children though as at least one family in every experience (IMAX or presentations) left early because their “littles” got restless. There is really only one portion where littles will enjoy and that’s the Planet Play area. But then mom and dad can relax in the bar while the kids play off their energy.

Love it !!😍 I went with my son and we have an awesome day. Just in case bring snacks for the kids because the line to eat is very long. However the people who work at the cafe are awesome.
