Kennedy Space Center Tours: The 15 Best Ways In

Merritt Island: Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Ticket - Atlantis makes the scale of the shuttle real

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 5,637 reviews · from $83Top choice

Spend a day at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on Merritt Island. Your ticket covers Space Shuttle Atlantis, the Apollo/Saturn V Center, the Rocket Garden, shows, films and most attractions. Ride the Shuttle Launch Experience, explore Gateway and the new gantry at Launch Complex 39, and allow plenty of time: the site is large, and a live launch is possible but never guaranteed.

“Lots to see and marvel at. Amazing to think what has been invented to get into space. Inspirational to future generations. Brings back nostalgic memories of your own childhood from a simple time when these truly spectacular events were watched as a family.”

The VIP access for the Explorer tour run by the Kennedy Space Centre to Cape Canaveral was exceptional and made the trip memorable. A minor note that it would be helpful if we could have had an itinerary emailed to us with what specifically to see at KSA after the Explorer tour ( you get 4 1/2 hours) as there are many interesting and worthwhile exhibits to see.”
