Blast your imagination into the stratosphere, with a ticket to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex℠. Bringing the epic story of the U.S. space program to life, Kennedy Space Center offers more amazing family fun and mind-blowing science exhibits than you could possibly fit into one day - but you can certainly try! Stand in awe under the gigantic Saturn V, the largest rocket ever flown, see the iconic Space Shuttle Atlantis®, celebrate the pioneers of NASA’s early space programs, and more.
There's so much to do at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex that it would be difficult to know where to begin - if it weren't for the cleverly arranged Mission Zones, that is. The attractions are grouped by chronological era, so you can follow the inspirational story of space exploration in an intuitive sequential order. It's rocket science, made easy!
Stop by the new Heroes & Legends exhibits and salute the elite extraterrestrial explorers in U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame® presented by Boeing, and feel your jaw hit the floor at the Apollo/Saturn V Center (complimentary transportation reservations to the center can be made at the visitor complex on the day of your visit on a first come, first served basis).
See the Space Shuttle Atlantis®, and strap in for lift-off at Shuttle Launch Experience®. Get starry-eyed watching spectacular 3D space films, including Apollo 11: First Steps Edition, Journey To Space, and the spellbinding Touch the Stars: The Journey Has Begun 3D.
Meet a real veteran NASA astronaut in the Astronaut Encounter, set your sights on the Red Planet in Journey To Mars: Explorers Wanted, and lots more out-of-this-world interactive exhibits.
