Orbit, the restaurant was extremely disorganized, slow, dirty, and some older hag behind the counter was really unprofessionally reprimanding overwhelmed shorthanded staff. I felt completely aghast and disgusted that the staff is treated as such. After waiting 45 minutes, once I finally got my food, there wasn't a clean table to be found. this ruined what was a great experience we were having otherwise. read more

Always a great experience. So many things to see and do, you definitely need 1 full day just to view all of the videos and do the experiences. Then you go back to see all the artifcats. Of course, you want to do all of the outside stuff early in the morning when it is not raining or too hot. Recommend the KSC Explore Tour to add to the adventure. You do get some experiences that you don't get on the normal bus tour. Ken and Melanie were great with the bus ride and the stories to tell. read more

First timer . Family of 5. 3 children under 10. Bought tickets easily online . Arrived after they opened at 9:40 and only 1 lane open for parking. Parking lot was not that crowded. We went to Atlantis first and didn't have to wait very long in line (5min). The kids & adults loved this area, simulator ( 5 min wait) , & slide . We were lucky enough to see a rocket launch and everything seemed super organized with seating and announcements. Lunch at orbit cafe, the kisok for ordering made it super easy and food was ready in less than 5 minutes. The bus tour was nice for my youngest to get a quick nap out of the heat. The drivers to and from were very friendly. The play area was 3 level of fun for the kids. It was a little warm inside , would have been nicer if it was cooler especially with them being active. Last stop was the gateway building and this was our least favorite and brought down my 5 star review to 3. The lines & staff for the stimulator ride in this building were not informative and it seemed like more help was needed since only one lady was handling 3 lines / 3 motion rides. . we didn't understand why there were 3 lines. We didn't realize there were separate rides. We wanted to ride to mars and found out we were in line for cosmos. When we got on the ride one seat was broken so we had to separate our group of 5. And my even my 6 year was super disappointed we waited 1 hour for the ride and it seemed like a waste. I would definitely skip this next time. read more

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex - 4 different rides on screen but only 3 lines. far right mars was closed. we got in the middle not knowing. Don't make the same mistake. - Museums Near Me - Merritt Island, Florida

My spouse and I visited Kennedy Space Center in Port Canaveral, FL, for the first time after debarking from a Cruise, after years of wanting to visit this place, and we had an amazing time. We felt the entry fee to the park was reasonable for a party of two people and both parking along with entry into the park was easy breezy. We first visited the "Legend of Hero's", followed by the other attractions offered in the park such as the visit to Mars experience, taking photos with the person in the Space Suit, and the IMAX short film about scientist discovering other galaxies is deep space through a satellite, which were all delightful to experience. However, upon making it to the Space Shuttle Experience, we unfortunately encountered probably the worst two employees of the park, Nicole & Hector, with Nicole being the worst of the two. She was VERY rude toward those entering the staging area prior to making it to the next stage to experience the shuttle experience and she was very snarking every time she spoke. Hector who followed right behind her wasn't any better as they both ordered people to get in line, to clear a certain area, and when they provided instructions for the experience itself they weren't very inviting. All the patrons in line took notice, they were seen whispering under their breath, and the tension in the room could be felt. Not only could the tension be felt, but you can see how uncomfortable the people were by the looks they gave one another along with observing the mothers pull their children closer to them to try to prevent from drawing attention from Evil 1 & Evil 2, and that we all just wanted to get through the ride. With the exception for these two distasteful employees who clearly demonstrated poor service to the brand and failed to provide the feel good first time experience, I would still recommend visiting the Kennedy Space Center and why I gave this place a 4 star rating out of 5. read more

I have always wanted to visit this place and last Friday I was able to do so with my family. I have been to the Houston location but this time I get to visit KSC and I am in awe. It was an easy drive from MCO international airport. Parking was a breeze. Plenty of things to see here but the Atlantis caught my attention as I stepped up to the entrance of the complex. But the highlight definitely was the bus tour. Very good and informative. Would not have seen so much of the complex if it wasn't for the complimentary service offered here at KSC. I genuinely enjoyed my visit to the KSC and I would come back again if time permits. read more

Parking is a little expensive, the humidity and heat in Florida is no joke and the crowds rival the ones you'll see at any Disney theme park. Even with that being said, it's still very much worth going at least once in your lifetime. This is where history is made. SpaceX and Amazon have property here as well. This is where Sterling satellites are launched from. This is where the space shuttle takes off from and yes there are viewing platforms where you can obtain tickets to view a rocket launch. The most part the majority of everything you view and all of the tours take place inside very air conditioned buildings and adequately air conditioned tour buses. It is limited where you are allowed to get out and just wander for obvious reasons. This is a working control center. It was definitely worth the $71 for entry. Pro tip, if you wish to take the behind the scenes tour you need to do this and schedule it at least 3 weeks I had to time of your visit. I purchased my ticket for it 2 months out. I get there early they own at 09:00 and I was able to park up front, therefore not losing my vehicle iykyk lol even with that being said, the parking is not nearly as chaotic as anything that is Mickey Mouse land related. A lot of experiences for families and children. History is well documented here. read more

What a spacious and huge center! I was surprised! If I would have to take 0.5 star off, it would be that all two dipping dots vending machine are out of order! There is a main store at the entrance but not on the other popular sites! Shopping was great experience: all the check out can be self checkout! So speedy and accurate too. Love the bus tour: a MUST! Also the exhibits, shows, short movies, etc are so worth it. Just remember you are in Florida: MUST bring an umbrella! Thunder storms can happen anytime anywhere. read more

We paid $15 to park at the Kennedy Space Center. We purchased our $77 tickets each & got on a 2 hr line for the bus tour. We spent a full day from opening to close exploring the space center. I downloaded the app and tried to see everything. It was very busy Tuesday, we waited on many lines. In retrospect we should have paid an extra $10 for a 2 day pass, trying to take in the whole experience required more than an 8 hour day. I enjoyed all of the simulators. The shuttle launch experience took us into outer space with shaking, rotating, smoke & sounds. The rock garden was filled with model rockets. We went on a journey to Mars with videos & full scale models. There was a lot of excitement here with the Artemis launch & astronauts all around. We went through many huge pricey gift shops. There were many good food choices that were expensive, had lines & weren't exciting. There were many clean well stocked restrooms & water fountains around the space center. read more

I'm a bit surprised at how long it's taken me to check out Kennedy Space Center having lived in Florida for so long, but we finally found a reason when buying a launch package for Artemis II. The launch itself was cool and definitely something everyone should do once. The only drawback is the traffic to get out of the area as a 45 minute drive became 4 hours. The park itself is very educational in nature and those opportunities are great. Every section seems to have a story or tidbits of info which makes sense for how much our space program has done. That being said, there was a lot of hurry up and wait. You're inclined to want to do everything, but there's only so much time in the day. I also think it would be beneficial to appeal to other types of learning. A lot of the information is auditory or presented as a lecture which isn't my favorite. KSC is still a cool place to check out and I would recommend it. The immersion in the Apollo center was probably one of my favorite experiences. I think with all the technology we have and NASA capabilities it would be a bit more high tech/immersive. Also shoutout to all of the staff here, everyone we talked to was incredibly kind and helpful. read more

I think part of what was really nice here is that if you buy tickets to a launch you get another entrance within the 30 days post launch as part of the package. This makes it totally worth while. The bus ride that is included out to gantry 39 and the Apollo/Saturn complex is really cool. The views out at the gantry are stunning and I think my favorite part of the day was the Apollo/saturn complex. The video of before you enter the Atlantis complex was also really good. The surprise at the end was unexpected. If I had to provide feedback it would be that it was a lot of waiting in line without always really being sure what I was in line for. It wasn't that I had a problem with the lines (we went on a Saturday that was so hosting an educator appreciation event that we were unaware of) it was that I didn't know what was at the other end of the line, or how long until the next show. For instance, when you arrive at the Atlantis complex you just go up a big ramp and are in a line for a show...no info on length of show or time until next show. When you get off the buss at the Apollo complex you wait to get in for a show, but again no news on time until next show or how long the show is. I liked all the shows. I would watch them again. I just wanted more info. Every person we talked to or heard a guided tour from was knowledgeable and pleasant. One of them even told us how to apply to work there! The launch viewing day was awesome too. We got lucky that Artemis 2 went on time on its first try. We were able to get really great views in parking lot area 2 and it wasn't so crowded that I felt overwhelmed. We do need to go back though because we weren't able to do everything in one day. I will say we made the most of the day, but missed a few things! read more

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex - Apollo launch room - Museums Near Me - Merritt Island, Florida

This is such a magnificent place! I can't believe I've lived in Florida for so long and I've never gotten the chance to come and visit! We came on a day where there was plenty of rain but we did as much as we could with two littles. They have plenty of food options there, and no shortage of snacks. I love the kids area with the different sections for different age groups. The slide was such a hit! They have plenty of shows for different ages, the Fraggle rock show was awesome! There are plenty of simulations, although those the lines are pretty long to get in. They have bus tours us as well. That run on a schedule that you can pick up on you first enter the complex. It's just such a beautiful place to learn and to explore. You could meet a real astronaut as well and go to a show that has a simulator on your chair! This place is so cool and I will definitely be back another time, but probably only with other adults so that we can make the most of our time. The restrooms are fairly clean and the gift shop is beautiful. I didn't get to make it up to the upstairs, which had the kids section, but next time! read more

The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center was a great museum. It was very educational with lots of things to do. We were there for five hours and did not experience everything. You could definitely be there for a whole day. They have a ride that's like an incredibly small version of Disney's Soarin. If you love astronauts, you will have a blast. Pun intended. read more

The parking lot opens 30 minutes prior to opening, and parking costs $15. Once we arrived, we used the restrooms located outside the paid entrance area and waited for the gates to open. When the park opened, we passed through metal detectors and scanned our tickets to enter. Admission Snapshot (2025) Adults: about $75 Kids (3-11): about $65 Parking: about $15 per car ** we found a discount and got in for the kids price. Once inside the complex, we headed straight toward the bus tour line, although buses don't begin running until 9:30 AM (the park opens at 9 AM). While waiting, we spent some time browsing the gift shop located near the bus area. Employees told us not to worry about standing in line early since they run many buses throughout the day and it's usually easy to get on one. Just before 9:30, we joined the line. Guests take a photo before boarding, which was actually the main reason for the short wait. From there, we were directed onto a bus within about five minutes. The bus tour works by dropping visitors off at different stops. You can explore each area as long as you want and then join the line for the next bus when you're ready to move on. There are two stops on the tour: * Gantry at LC-39 * Launch Pad 39-A Altogether, it took us about 2.5 to 3 hours to explore both stops. We also grabbed lunch at the Moon Rock Café at the second stop. The food was decent and reasonably priced for a tourist attraction. We spent about $30-35 for two people, which included a hot sandwich, fries, and a drink Our visit happened to coincide with a unique moment. A used rocket was being transported back to SpaceX, which temporarily shut down the roadway. This left us stranded at the first bus stop for several minutes, but it also meant we got an up-close look as the rocket rolled right past us. Back at the main visitor complex, we explored the Rocket Garden, the Space Shuttle Atlantis building, Gateway, Journey to Mars, and another gift shop. The gift shop at the main complex is quite large, though there are additional gift shops at each bus stop as well. They sell all kinds of NASA and space-themed merchandise, including collaborations with well-known brands for higher-quality items. The visitor complex also includes several rides and interactive experiences, making it a very hands-on and kid-friendly destination. read more

A must visit if you are in the area! We tried the bus tour and visited the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit. I really enjoyed both, but learning about Atlantis and seeing the real thing in person felt really special. If I get the chance to visit KSC again, I could spend the whole day here. The exhibits are designed in a way that have you go through 1-2 rooms with videos that introduce you to the exhibit first. I thought this was helpful and kept things organized while preventing overcrowding. There were really long lines to get in on a Saturday at opening. Tip: look for the shortest line. We wasted a lot of time waiting in the longest line before I saw there were shorter lines. Food is a bit pricy, but my burger was pretty good and it was filling. My mom did not like her chicken sandwich. read more

I visited here in November 2025 as an excursion to kill time between getting off my cruise ship and a later flight and it did not disappoint! I want to say we had about 4 hours here to explore before getting on the bus to the airport and it was a great amount of time although I would say one more hour would have been the most ideal for wandering alone as I was. There's so much to see and explore. I learned so much while I was there! I definitely left even more curious about NASA and came home to watch a documentary. The gift store is incredible. There's smaller ones throughout but a very large one near the exit. Theres photo ops with photographers if you like! I got some fun ones in uniform. I look like a real astronaut! I would advise to wear layers because it will be hot inside but then cold inside some of the buildings. There is plenty of food to eat. Staff is wonderful. I have nothing negative to say; awesome experience and wish I lived closer so I could go again! read more

We lucked out. It was not too crowded. They have a nice temperature controlled kennel (it was free). $&& to get in and more $$ to park , buy that's how it's funded.

I had no idea what to expect but this place really blew me away. NASA did it's a big one with this! We were there from 12pm to closing at 5PM & we still did not get to see and do everything!! This place is a separated into multiple buildings (which I really like for crowd control) and has so many cool and unique ways of experiencing and learning about space and the NASA program. There's even a bus tour that you can take to another area that has more to see. We never even got to this. It seems there is some extra stuff you can pay for, like an astronaut-like experience, which I definitely would like to do on the next trip here. Outside of this, there are exhibits, shows, immersive experiences, various places to eat (including a Starbucks), and much more! We also got to see a rocket launch, which is something to scratch off the bucket list! They had a host who helped to guide you on where to look, and also prepared you with the Countdown. He was out there way before the shuttle actually took off, but only made announcements here and there. I think this viewing could be really enhanced if they were to add music as people are waiting for the launch, or even an audio that plays on a loop of fun facts and related things. The last thing we did before everything closed, was an IMAX film at their IMAX theater. We took note of what time it was starting and made sure to get there in time for this film. The issue is that it was SO so incredibly boring, which I did not expect.. after 30 minutes while it was still going, we decided to leave. I do hope that they update this to show more guest friendly films that capture audiences attention. I would definitely return and plan to whenever I am in the area again! read more

Tldr: This place blows the two DC air and space museums out of the water, but I don't like the prices. I was on the fence about visiting the KSC since I live 30 minutes from the 2 DC air and space museums. People were right that it's a lot more interactive/interesting to kids than the DC museums. I don't know if they hired Disney consultants, but it sure feels like Disney came through and figured out how to make space seem like an amusement park. I'm not complaining about that at all since I want my kids to love space and kids these days need video and interaction to make things interesting. They did a great job - from making you feel the uncertainty of Neil Armstrong's moon landing to using the original control center as props. They even have multiple simulator rides and imax movies that are really well done. To their credit, the simulator rides and imax movies are included in the price. But it is insulting that we need to pay $15 for parking after spending $75 on a single day admission ticket. Would I do it again if I did it over again? Yes, but I'd plan to stay the whole day to get my money's worth and I wouldnt plan on a second visit for the next 10 years read more

There's so much to see, feel, touch, sense, and learn at the Kennedy Space Center. They make education about space travel and space exploration more exciting and vivid than anything on this planet!

Food and beverages are available for purchase! The standard one day admission ticket is a great value with most of the attractions included. read more

Probably wont go back. read more

An amazing place, so worth a visit. We probably didn't do it justice, since we only had a couple hours on our way to Saint Augustine but still enjoyed it. We focused on the Saturn V Center and the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which seemed like good choices if time constrained. Bought tickets on site and probably online is easier, as the ticket kiosks are confusing. Then we got in line for the bus tour, and even at 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning the wait was over half an hour (although reading other reviews we lucked out). The Atlantis area was the highlight, lots of history, and you can't beat seeing the whole shuttle in all its glory. We had heard from someone that had not been there that it was a glorified theme park oriented towards kids, and this is not the case at all. Families will love it, but we found it totally memorable as well. read more

Such an amazing place! We purchased a two day pass for our visit and were so happy with the entire experience. Keep in mind the parking is $15 on top of admissions. Admissions for a 2 day pass is about $288 however this is a lot cheaper than the theme parks. Kennedy space center is a place where everyone learns something and you walk away with a sense of pride and awe at the technological advances and where we started. There were no lines. Staff are helpful and friendly. Park is clean. They have a Starbucks on site. There are also a smattering of eateries while not great they are available. The best part of the tour was probably the bus ride to visit the first space shuttle and to learn about the foundations for space travel. Super interesting. Everything was indoors. The movie with special effects was amazing. Other areas of note are the huge indoor playgrounds with slides for the kids and lotsa climbing for them to burn off energy. There are also IMAX movies to enjoy. Presenters speak about space. We were not able to do the virtual reality journey due to it being fully booked. However, we did the space travel simulation which is not scary but actually very fun. Totally worth the journey and time! read more

3 stars for having a Starbucks on site and no traffic/easy parking (although it was a steep price of $15). I got there right when they opened. I feel like they should do something for Florida residents or Military. The price of the tickets were extremely expensive. I can't believe they charge so much for 3 year olds! $75!? Just felt outrageous. This is not the best place for children under 5 in my opinion. The play area had too many stairs and levels which made it difficult for me to run after her. I lost site of her a few times which made me uncomfortable. The toddler area is extremely small and basically nothing to do. They should have another space completely blocked off from the bigger kids so it's easier for parents to see their toddlers. There were no kid-friendly IMAX shows. There was no one around to help answer questions or guide us. I got lucky and went right to the bus tour, but there was no one to tell me where I was going or what I was doing. Couldn't understand the lady on the bus so I just felt clueless. To top it off, we missed the astronaut picture by 15 seconds. Literally saw the guy walking away....So we waited 45 minutes for the next one. Of course, my daughter was afraid to stand next to the guy and the astronaut or person helping did anything to make her feel comfortable. I then took her away so others could take pictures because the line started to build suddenly. I then asked if we could take one together instead (because we had waited so long) and the guy told me I had to go to the back of the line! I don't think I was being unreasonable at all. Guy just ruined the experience for us. None of the ADULTS in line would've cared that me and my TODDLER stepped back in to take the picture. He cared more. Overall, I'm pretty disappointed and I'd only go back when they offer free admission. I enjoyed Houston's Space Center sooo much more! read more

Expect a long drive out. Plenty of parking when you go at opening. Not much of a senior discount (like a few dollars). Surprisingly empty when we went but maybe just lucky? Its great if you have someone interested in space because the exhibits and technology used to show space info/gear is one of the most modern museums ive ever seen. Security is really fast and the buildings inside are big. There are water filling stations and food was allowed. Get the app for prereservations or go into the vr building before to sign up for the vr rides (qr code reservation slot). We wete able to get slots within 15min because it was so empty. Two of the buildings through a specific entrance require you to go through a simulation discussing history etc. So that can be time consuming. Theres also another huge building in the back past the bus complexes (Atlantis). Your ticket comes with every vr ride imax and show so you could spend a good day here if you have time. Its more like a museum with some simulation rides rather than a full on immersive experience. We mainly got tickets to see a launch (which doesn't always happen) The bus to the launch was fast, the ride was longer than expected to get to apollo/saturn 5. Inside its again just like another museum. The viewing area doesn't open until a little around the predicted launch time, it also doesn't have shade and they don't tell you what direction the rocket is launching until the annoucer comes on. The annoucer was really good, but the launch was much smaller than expected haha. So if its just for viewing launches, I feel like the park/beach is better. I would've liked some more universe/space stuff, mainly rockets. If you love space history and information / New technology (space x / blue origin) definitely worth a visit. Not much discount for tickets. read more

The whole family loved our visit to Kennedy Space Center. While the lines were long and it was very busy, the staff has it figured out and get people through lines as quickly as possible. We scheduled the chat with an astronaut and that was a big hit. For space enthusiasts this is a must. Hit up the bus tour first to make sure the wait is as short as possible. We got in line about half an hour after opening and had to wait in line for about an hour. By the time we returned the wait was over 2 hours. The tour is worth the wait though, so get there first thing after opening. There is so much to see and do that you could easily spend two days there! read more

Pretty area and wildlife refuge. Clean property. Nice staff. However, it's pretty boring! And gives theme park energy but without the fun things.

Not worth the price. Most of the attractions are just movies. Most of the movies have nothing to do with space. Very small exhibits and the bus tour was alright at best.

I had family come into town to visit and we all took a road trip together to go and visit the Kennedy Space Center. What a SUPER COOL attraction! We discovered when we got there that we would have to come back again because there was no way that we were going to see everything in just one day. There was just so much to see and everything spanned in like 10 different buildings. I learned a lot about space shuttles, launch systems, assembly, history, etc... We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the Kennedy Space Center and of course, also walked through their gift shop to purchase some souvenirs. We had to pay for parking and for visiting the attraction, but it was all worth it. Definitely recommend checking this place out!! Very Very Cool Attraction!! read more

I'm not a huge space person, but this place was impressive. Absolutely get there at opening, because there was a ton we didn't get to do. The presentation/introduction to Atlantis was incredible. It gave me a whole new appreciation. I won't give away any spoilers. The dedication to the Challenger and Columbia was touching. Honestly, the whole Atlantis area was our main highlight. For people who aren't big aerospace enthusiasts, it was crazy how moving it was. Well done. Our five year old was reasonably entertained. There was a large play area. Random slides and small kids focused areas are scattered about. She loved the motion simulator. We didn't do any up charge attractions. $75'ish for a general admission ticket was well worth it for an entire day's worth of entertainment. read more

We spent 2 days here and still didn't see everything, but we had a great time! We watched astronaut Fred Gregory talk about his experiences in space and with NASA that was quite interesting. We took the bus explore tour and got to see a few really neat things that you don't get to see on the regular bus tour. The Apollo exhibit at the end of the bus tour is amazing. They have a real Saturn 5 rocket which you have to see to understand how massive it is, and it also has several exhibits with actual mission gear. After that we did the shuttle exhibit which has an actual shuttle, which was amazing to see. The launch experience was OK but it was a long wait for just a few minutes of fun. Overall we had tons of fun and would do it again in a heartbeat. We saw everything so feel free to message me if you have any questions, itguy822 on g mail. read more

We had an educational and really fun time from start to end! Went during the cooler December month and it was pleasant when in line to catch the bus for the tour. Well organized as can sign up for tours once you arrive and enjoy the sites as you wait for the time in the queue. Very helpful staff and a great layout for all ages. The Atlantis exhibit was so great and needs at least 1 hr to enjoy. The tours take you to view launch sights from a distance and have interactive games for all. Can view the wildlife as the tour goes on with informative videos inside the comfortable bus. Guides were informative and move. A must see when in the area for all. Made us really appreciate our amazing NASA and astronauts. Also take time to visit the tribute exhibits to those lost in the Challenger and other historical missions lost. Food and drinks available or can bring own within reason. Loved it!' read more
