Did the Explore Tour with guide Dave. Just fantastic! Skipped the huge lines to board the bus, maybe 20 people on the tour. Drove out to VAB, the engine test gantry -interesting interactive displays there- then out to LCs 39 A&B. Back to the VAB to check out the enormity of the structure, along with the capsule escape rocket. The Space center with a complete Saturn 5 was the highlight of the trip. Fantastic displays, knowledgable and personable guides . Had time in the day to see the STS Atlantis - another must do - just really well done programs. We will be back, there is so much going on at KSC now, we'll need to check back frequently !

The place is great. A big building, three floors full of entertainment. Most of it is for children and young people. As well as going to the main parks, you have to go with a kids mind in order to interact with all games you will encounter in the way. So, a great place to be with your family. It is usually more crowded in the mornings, as it is open until midnight, you can go after lunch and do all the stuff by 22:00. There are meals, and pizzas you can buy at the spot. Adults will have a great time too. The third floor is full of entertainment for adults and young people. It will take you three or four hours to visit this center

Seeing the massive rockets up close, especially the Saturn V, was incredible and gave us a real sense of the scale of space exploration. The exhibits were interactive and engaging, making it easy to learn about NASA’s history and future missions. One of the highlights was the Space Shuttle Atlantis display, which was both impressive and emotional. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to answer questions. Overall, it was an amazing experience that combines science, history, and excitement. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Florida.
