Went in September 2011. Awesome, awesome trip. Most kids at some point dream of space and the stars and this brings you closer to it. Attractions were very informative and fun especially the shuttle simulator. Star Trek exhibits were fun as well. Just seeing the old shuttles just left us in awe. Took a tour and that was very informative... More

For more then 20 years I have been here for the first time. There is not much changed. Okay, there is new impressive memorial. There are two really good and interesting IMAX films. And they are building a new building for their Atlantis. Which should be ready in summer 2013. All other infotainment, shops, cafetaria are looking old, need some... More

My husband and I were not impressed with the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex. We paid 40.00 per ticket to walk thru a small rocket garden and watch an IMAX movie. The exhibits were ok but nothing special especially and I feel it lacked excitement one should feel when going to NASA. The Shuttle Experience was ok, but I think... More

Not having been there in 30 or more years, we thought it would be important to stop at each location on the bus which takes you around the center. Not so, the first stop just lets you view the Vehicle Assembly Building and space ports from a great distance. Not much else there. Stay on and get off at the... More

We loved Kennedy Space Center. There was so much more to see and do there than we had expected. We wish that it stayed open later in the day because we didn't get to see everything, including the Astronaut Hall of Fame. The bus tour was great (the first bus driver we had completely lacked enthusiasm but the others on... More

My husband and I visited the Johnson Space Center a couple years ago and enjoyed it, so we almost passed up Kennedy Space Center on our trip to Florida this week. I'm so glad we didn't! We spent six hours there today and could have stayed much longer if we hadn't needed to move south. KSC is quite different from... More

My husband and I visited on the 18th May, the sun was shining and everyone was in a great mood. We had purchased our tickets on line and arrived at 9.00am, even at that time it was starting to get reasonably busy. We had such a great time, the Imax movies were fantastic and the Shuttle launch experience was brilliant,... More

We went on a bus tour to the center and the experience began in the bus on the way. the driver was enthusiastic about the center and told us where to go first and told us about things we should be certain not to miss. There were DVDs playing on the bus trips between exhibits and we were amazed at... More
