Wow, my husband and I had an incredible time! The history we learned, the clean and fun atmosphere - it was all amazing. Our only regret is not visiting this place sooner!

Our explore tour was AMAZING!! Our tour guide Bill was great and very knowledgeable. We actually got lucky to see a Space X shuttle on launchpad 39A with the dragon pod on top getting ready for takeoff!! An amazing experience that we won't soon forget.

The review is not about the Headout, but of the Explore tour. The organization of the logistics is great- everything works like clockwork. However, the guide left much to be desired. George led the tour as if we all were already familiar with the subject, making inferences to things that somehow we're supposed to know. The kids were utterly bored and confused and quickly tuned him out. The highlight of the tour was a turtle walking along the path at the Apollo sign. The turtle had more energy than the guide. We should have just stuck with the basic tickets.

It was like reliving the most important milestones in the evolution of acience for space travel. The videos, installations, and tour through the station were able to immerse us in the reality of those working on these incredible feats.

Your experience

Prepare for blast-off

Your space adventure begins with meeting your guide, who will be your mission control throughout the day. They'll provide insider tips and historical knowledge to enrich your experience at the Kennedy Space Center. First, head to the iconic Space Shuttle Atlantis. Get up close and personal with this spacecraft; its payload bay is open just as it was during missions. Feel the G-forces of a launch in a simulator, practice docking the International Space Station, or experience the weightlessness of space in a virtual spacewalk. Delve into the "Heroes and Legends" exhibit, and hear the stories of the brave men and women who have pushed the boundaries of space exploration.

Go beyond the exhibits

Hop aboard a special bus with a space expert guide. They'll whisk you past restricted areas, like the Vehicle Assembly Building where rockets are prepped for launch. See Launch Complex 39, where the Apollo missions blasted off, and witness the future of space travel at the launch pads used by SpaceX and ULA. This experience offers 1-day or 2-day ticket options. The 1-day option is perfect for a whirlwind adventure, while the 2-day ticket allows you to delve deeper into the exhibits. Round-trip transfers from Orlando are available with an upgrade for a hassle-free journey directly to the Kennedy Space Center.
