We had a great day at kennedy space center, including guided bus tour. The guide spoke passionately about the launch pads and everything around them. Maybe the map could have a little more information. For example, a small information piece about what you can see or do somewhere. For example, for us the gateway was unclear what exactly there was to do.View original review in Dutch

The bus pick up spot was easy to find and the bus arrived on time. Our guide on the bus was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The guided Expore Tour was the highlight of the visit for me. Another knowledgeable and friendly guide along with a superb driver. Getting up close to the launch sites was great! I didn't know how I was going to fill up an 8 hour day but the time flew by and I'm hoping to go back again since I didn't get to see everything this time.

The tour guide was very knowledable and spoke all about the history and current plans of the KSC. We got behind one of the Falcon rockets that Starlik sends up at one point and that was awesome.Raymond

The explore tour guide and bus driver were so informative and knowledgeable. Our bus driver even took a detour when there was a road block for a piece of machinery being moved. We learned all about the buildings and launch pads besides the wildlife around the area. We walked the same path as all astronauts do . How cool!
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.
