The KSC Visitors Complex is worth the 50 min drive from Orlando. Lots of exhibitions, places to eat, free wifi and great tours. The Atlantis exhibition is the highlight of your visit! Believe me.

The Atlantis simulation, the bus tour and the "Hubble 3D" iMax was great! 🚀 ..a bit expensive - but worth it! Make sure to have AT LEAST 6 or 7 hours to spend. And bring you own food. 👍

Amazing experience! You can spend an entire day here. Go for the extended bus tour to see more locations in Cape Canaveral. Nothing can prepare you for the Atlantis exhibition. Pure awe.

Most underrated attraction in florida. Came 2 years in a row and i continue to learn every time i visit. The Atlantis exhibit is STUNNING!

Starting point to tour Kennedy, meet astronauts and train in spaceflight simulators. The complex also is home to an IMAX theater, rocket garden, children’s areas, and the US Astronaut Hall of Fame. Read more

Here is way too much to do here in one quickie cruise excursion... but I loved what I did get to do. The Atlantis exhibit and the way they bring you to it was so cool!

Awesome experience visiting KSC, it is a theme park for space exploration. If you planned to eat there and buy souvenirs, eat first at the cafeteria. The receipt gives you 10 % off at the gift shop.

Make sure you also check out the US Space Walk Hall of Fame Museum in Titusville for some other cool space stuff. It's awesome!

Great place to introduce space and related activities. Very children and family friendly. Hall of Fame, Imax and Bus Tour (Apollo/Saturn V Center) are very cool. Atlantis is awesome!
Steve LarsonDecember 30, 2018
Great visit, very entertaining and educational. You must do the bus tour. Only downside was the water for $3.29 a bottle really? I could almost buy a case for that price. Taxpayers paid for the KSC.

Amazing! Our bus tour driver, Beverly was amazing, informative, funny, and engaging. The only complaint we had was the food service. It was awful.but they build rockets, so...🤷🏻‍♀️

Very inspiring and exciting visit. The interactives are quite decent and the videos and simulations are super engaging. And so many real memorabilia! Excellent place to visit.
Wende SuttonOctober 3, 2018
Way more fun thank I thought it would be! Do not miss this historic landmark visit! Lots to see and do!
Jenna Rose RobbinsApril 28, 2018
Even though the exhibits leave a lot to be desired, it's still a must-see if you're in the area. The special tours are worth the additional money.
Darleny LopezAugust 22, 2015
I loved this place, you must buy a tour it's amazing, you learn a lot and basically it's fantastic
Thomas LongdenJuly 12, 2013
This place has changed so much over this years you could spend all day here having fun. Loved the new Atlantis displays and Saturn V complex.
Michael CNovember 30, 2017
Excellent experience and a great reminder of the importance of the space program, both to our history as well as for years to come.
NataliyaDecember 5, 2015
A wonderful place for any age! I think it's a must see for any tourist. My first time there was at 14 and i liked it as much as Universal Studios!
Dave JohnsonJanuary 13, 2016
Atlantis exhibit is a jaw-dropper. Make sure you see it properly via the main entrance & introductory movies.
Christina Tyler WenksMarch 18, 2018
The museum, scavenger hunts, rocket garden and more are exceptional, experiential learning opportunities for families, whether or not a launch is being prepped.
KelliMay 25, 2018
Tons of things to do! Could easily spend a day here. Do the bus tour early as it takes a bit of time especially if there is a line!

Don't forget to visit the U.S. Space Walk Of Fame Museum. A great place that gets overlooked! Read more

In all of my visits to Florida over the years, going to KSC was the first time I was genuinely impressed and truly mesmerized. Worth the trip!!!

You need to get over to Titusville for the amazing US Spacewalk if Fame museum. It's free, they've lots of spec hardware and things donated by astronauts. It makes everything feel more real. Do it.
Stella RussottiMarch 17, 2013
KSC is a fun and educational place, lol :]if u r able to u should really do the Space Shuttle simulator when u r there. it's so awesome!
Wecando PrintFebruary 12, 2012
We were lucky enough to see the historic last shuttle launch with the kids, dolphin jumping in front of us and even crocodiles swimming by. Great experience for kids of all ages.
James PartonMay 1, 2017
Great place to visit. Make sure you do the Atlantis and Apollo/Saturn V Center exhibits. Very cool.

Be sure to visit the Astronaut Hall of Fame just 6 miles west of the Visitor Complex. There's lots space memorabilia and simulators there. It's included with the admission ticket.
Fla RionOctober 6, 2018
It's more a theme park than a museum. A lot of stuff is designed for kids. Arrive early and stay late. There's much to see :)
United Federation StarfleetAugust 16, 2011
Don't miss this one! Visit the museum, take the tours which will get you up close to the Saturn V rocket (used on Apollo missions), see one of the retired shuttles, and dine with an astronaut!
Riyadh AlawadJune 9, 2022
Was a Lovely experience really enjoyed ❤️👍
Tad MorganMay 16, 2010
Book guided tours in advance to see best sights & arrive early to see attractions on days around launch. "Discover KSC" tour best done after launch, it can't drive by pad when shuttle is out there.
Michelle Moore SmithJuly 18, 2012
The Cape Canaveral: Then and Now tour was well worth the money. I was totally able to nerd out here :-) . Really enjoyed my visit.
Sharon GrimshawSeptember 22, 2013
The Atlantis exhibit is a must-see experience. Well worth a return trip if you've been to KSC before.
Doug CouchFebruary 9, 2016
$50 admission fee is well worth the value. Plan to spend 8~ hours here easy.
Deniza IanevApril 24, 2016
Knowledge knowledge knowledge, this place will never get boring to us.
Sarah MillerMarch 6, 2014
Be prepared to have your picture taken at every point of the complex. Before the tour bus before the Atlantis building before the shuttle experience. Kinda annoying.
Kevin PennyApril 2, 2018
Long lines on launch day like right now! Going on 2 hours to get into the area. Tolls on the way make sure you bring lots of quarters out of Orlando. Hoping for food options as kids getting hot.
A RNovember 29, 2014
On the pricy side, but absolutely worth it. Make sure you get a bus tour ticket too.
Ollie MartinApril 13, 2013
Film of a Gemini launch on a Titan II rocket from here is used in the film You Only Live Twice (1967) to represent a Russian rocket launch. Notice the palm trees in the foreground.
Jen StricklandAugust 5, 2017
The explore bus tour is worth the extra $ just be sure to have lunch before you go-it's long!!
Slightly PerfectJanuary 20, 2019
Expansive and meticulously clean grounds. To see the rockets and other related items was truly a grand entrance.

Best place to learn about rockets and America’s awesome space history.

Check out the Astronaut Snoopy statue in the Rocket Garden. Snap a photo and share it @Snoopy on Twitter or facebook.com/snoopy!
Ewoud HuysmansMay 26, 2016
Best path: bus tour > Atlantis center > IMAX theatre.
Daniel ScottApril 14, 2018
Some very nice historical exhibts but seems very overpriced to me. Also the "bus tour" is just a shuttle between the main visitor center and the Apollo center not a tour.
Joël Heil EscobarJanuary 9, 2020
Awesome day! But plan going there with a lot of time

Paying the extra $13 for the annual pass is a GREAT buy - it gives 10% off in the shop/Astronaut Training & Special Interest tours, 20% off on-site food, and more!

It's X-mas here at the Space Center. Come take a pic by our huge tree with awesome rockets in the background. Your Christmas cards will look fabulous!!
