Kennedy Space Center Admission

With a wealth of fascinating exhibits and interactive sights, a day out at Kennedy Space Center is great fun for all the family and one they will never forget!

With your Kennedy Space Center Admission ticket you can visit the only place on Earth where you can experience the G-forces of space travel, climb aboard space rockets and explore the space shuttle.

Among the many highlights at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex you will discover:

• Space Shuttle Atlantis - See Atlantis as if it were in space - raised 30 feet off the ground and rotated 43 degrees. More than 60 interactive, immersive exhibits and simulators will provide guests with a never-before-experienced perspective on the shuttle’s complex systems, components and capabilities.
• Shuttle Launch Experience* - visitors strap into the sights, sounds and sensations of a real Space Shuttle launch.
• Heroes and Legends exhibition featuring the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame® presented by Boeing®.
• Relive the wonder and excitement of the Apollo era at the one-of-a-kind Saturn V Center which celebrates the unprecedented achievement of putting man on the moon. At its centre is the incredible 363-foot-long Saturn V moon rocket.
• Experience the thrill of the space race with the launch of Apollo 8. Watch history unfold in the Firing Room as the first crewed Saturn V mission blasts into space.
• See the real Lunar Module 9 with a life-sized scene from the Apollo 11 Moon landing at the Moonscape exhibit. While there, be sure to put your skills to the test in three interactive challenges!
• Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour - Short of becoming an astronaut, there’s no better way to get a glimpse of Kennedy Space Center. Get an up-close drive-by view of a launch pad, experience the historic Apollo 8 launch and marvel at a massive 363-foot-long Saturn V rocket at the Apollo/Saturn V Center. 
• IMAX^® films – in two giant IMAX theatres, the dream of space flight comes alive with a selection of mind-blowing 3D space films (currently undergoing renovations; Journey to Space will be shown on the jumbotron at North Atlantis Lawn during this period).
• Rocket Garden - climb-aboard Mercury, Gemini and Apollo capsule replicas and view the monstrous 111-meter Saturn V moon rocket, the most powerful rocket ever built.
