First of all....it's not cheap! It cost us $126 for 2 adults (incl one of the tours). We were very disappointed to find that there wasn't much to look at. The shuttle they had displayed was mostly stripped of everything of interest. The early space museum had hardly anything in it. They refused to let us reschedule the tour (there... more

This activity was so much more than we expected. My teenage daughter and I thought we would be bored out of our minds, but went to appease dad. Well, we loved it! We purchased the basic ticket and spent six hours there. We easily could have spent eight hours there. Ticket is good for a second day visit but we... more

Our trip to the center was my 'treat' during our world trip and I can't wait to go back again! Only had a day (flew from New York), drove out to space center and had a ball. Had pre booked tickets on "Then and Now" tour which runs only once a day I think. Really worth it for those that... more

For people who watch discovery and science/nasa channels, a trip to KSC will be a let down. There is quite a bit of eateries and very less space stuff for something that is a front for the premier space agency to the public. Very little space stuff in the visitors grounds. There is a memorial to the columbia disaster, a... more

My husband, adult son and I visited the center during our recent stay in Orlando. We enjoyed it very much! There is a main area to visit and a bus tour. We enjoyed all of it, but the bus tour was the best to me! It took us to three separate areas. We could stay at each site however long... more

We visited the Space Center middle May whilst staying in nearby Cocoa Beach. There is loads to do and the one day we had there didnt really do it justice as we skipped out alot of the attractions. We started with a guided tour of the rocket garden which was good to do first before it got too hot. The... more

Fab day out, and you can now use your ticket again within 7 days, so good value for money. Make sure you get it stamped before you leave. had no problems getting back in the following day, apart from being behind a bus load of very jolly oldies who kept making the detectors go off with thier knee and hip... more

This is not a VIP trip. Be prepared for a very long day exposed to what the prevailing weather conditions are. Bring your own seats, drinks what you can to make it. It is so worth the wait. I have no words to describe the launch so you will just have to go and watch for yourself. more

Got ticket pkg with hotel room. 38$ per adult. Take bus tour around first to see the real attractions, get off at each stop and you can easily spend and hour or more at each. Would have loved to see a launch of somekind but NASA keeps changing launch schedules. We understand "safety first". Neat place. Drinks and food are... more

Overall the Kennedy Space Center is okay, however it seemed like Universal Studios/Disney with a space-related twist. Many items can be seen at the Smithsonian in Washington for free. The biggest RIP OFF is the NASA Up Close tour. Perhaps because the shuttles were on the pad we could not see anything but they should not offer the "Up Close... more
