    'Chat w/ astronaut was a highlight. I had thought I would be "toured" by a guide, was not familiar with the way the center is laid out. But eventually got around and enjoyed the visit.

    The Chat With An Astronaut location is not well marked. In fact, it's only on a digital sign that shows the "Chat with an astronaut" every 10 seconds or so. It's located between the Bus Tour and Mars Rover. Also icon on map which we discovered after.

    The Space Center is very cool, you feel like a child amazed by everything, you almost experience a little bit of what the space race was like, the only thing missing, I don't know if because I don't ask, I couldn' enjoy the additional that said my reservation: A continental breakfast, 1 alcoholic drink per adult ticket, A commemorative gift and lithograph. If you have that included, ask so you don't miss it. Review of: Johnathn Castelblanco - January 23 - 2025

  • Cosmic Conversations with an Astronaut at KSC

    Step into the heart of NASA's gateway to the stars – the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and in a small group dive deep into the life of a space pioneer. Sip on refreshing drinks and savor either breakfast or snacks, all while discussing the mystique of space, its challenges, and the ethereal beauty astronauts witness. As you absorb these tales, you’ll get the unique opportunity to pose questions, uncovering intriguing, lesser-known facets of space travel. Before this session concludes, immortalize the memory with a snapshot alongside the astronaut and take home a signed lithograph as a keepsake.

    A Voyage Beyond the Stars: Exhibits, Shows & More

    Post this heart-to-heart, wander around, and soak in the wealth of experiences the Visitor Complex offers. From the awe-inspiring Space Shuttle Atlantis® to the dynamic Shuttle Launch Experience and Rocket Garden, there's much to explore. Here's a fun tidbit: the Rocket Garden houses the Mercury-Redstone, the very rocket Alan Shepard piloted as the first American in space. And speaking of legends, don't miss the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame presented by Boeing®, boasting the world’s largest collection of astronaut memorabilia. 1 day is not enough to explore the entire Visitor Complex, upgrade your ticket to get a 2-day entry to KSC Visitor Complex!
