After visiting Houston Space Center, this was a bust. The extra money for the tour was a waste as we didn't go to anywhere interesting that the free tour didn't go. The only bright spot in an otherwise dull day, was the launch experience. If you want to pay about $40 for an 8 minute ride, then this park is... more

My family and I are frequent visitors to Florida. We have spent the last several spring breaks in Orlando and surrounding areas due to the fact that we are baseball spring training enthusiasts. Kennedy Space Center is by far one of our favorite attractions!! The bus tour is great. It is very informative and we were able to see alligators,crane's,... more

My husband is a big space nut and has visited Kennedy Space Center many times. This was my first trip. I was bored and without my husband to tell me what we were looking at, I would have been totally lost. They shuttle you from point to point, play videos that look like they are from the 80's (with inaccurate... more

Probably great to visit for a shuttle launch but dull otherwise. Our two children (8 and 3) were too young to appreciate any of the exhibits. Not enough interactive activities - just films and lectures. Queue for that Mars trip was a joke - only let in about 30 people at a time. Expensive - food even more so. Grumpy... more

My husband and I visited the Kennedy Space Center in March 2008, as part of a 1 week visit to Orlando. The space center is located about one hour east of Orlando by car, an easy day trip and a welcome break from the theme parks. In contrast to the theme parks, the Kennedy Space Center is real, very real.... more

This place is pretty nice and not too crowded but when you have two teenagers that would rather be at the beach than read about space travel, it's not so fun. We knew we would not be there long but we did want to see a few of the most important things. We saw one of the IMAX films. Very... more

The KSC is overpriced at around $30 per person. I have been to far more interesting and interactive museums/centres for half the price. I am glad that I went so that I know that I am not missing anything and I can say I have been there. I went on a day when there were not a lot of long... more

$38 for regular admission seems a little high but for what you get it sure does seem not too bad. I must admit in the beginning of this review that I am a certified space nut so I had an excellent impression before I arrived though the bad reviews did worry me a bit. The two day nature of the... more

It's been some time since I got into the museum (excellent though!), however, I highly recommend checking out a shuttle launch if possible. The shuttle is scheduled to retire by 2010, so there aren't many chances left. I can't describe the sight to do it justice...you just gotta go and see the shuttle lift off and hear (and FEEL) the... more

We went to KSC this past weekend. What a great facility! The IMAX movies were fantastic, especially the International Space Station movie. This movie is in 3D and you feel like you are aboard the space station yourself. All the footage is shot by the astronauts inside and outside of the space station. The new flight simulator is great. And... more
