What You Can Expect

Astronaut Hall of Fame at Kennedy Space Center

Your Kennedy Space Center tour begins after an approximate 45-minute drive from Orlando. From the Visitor Complex, view rockets from all eras of space exploration in the Rocket Garden, and see an actual Gemini program capsule on display in Early Space Exploration. Then, walk beneath a massive Saturn V rocket at the Apollo/Saturn V Center, where you can relive Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon and experience the thunderous rumble of a Saturn V moon rocket lift-off!

Continue with two IMAX space movies viewed on five-story screens – Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D and Space Station 3D, which takes you on a virtual trip to the International Space Station. Enjoy other Kennedy Space Center shows and exhibits including a chance to meet an astronaut at the Astronaut Encounter Show.

Board a full-size Space Shuttle mock-up and strap in for a virtual launch into space on the Shuttle Launch Experience. Orbit the earth in this awesome simulation, replicating the sights, sounds and feelings of an authentic shuttle launch.

Finish your day with a visit to the US Astronaut Hall of Fame, featuring the world's largest collection of personal astronaut mementos, historic spacecraft and hands-on activities. Sit in a mission control console, take a virtual moonwalk, feel the pull of 4Gs in the G-Force Simulator and land the Space Shuttle.

Tour Options:

If you choose, you can upgrade your tour to dine with an astronaut and enjoy a delicious lunch with a member of NASA's Astronaut Corps. Or, choose Space Pass Plus, which combines all of the above with a guided KSC Up-Close tour of the Vehicle Assembly Building plus NASA Causeway and A/B Camera Stop.

Finally, relax aboard the bus as you enjoy return transport to Orlando.

5 star rating: Highly Recommended June 2013

Awesome!!!!! No regrets waking up so early in the morning. But driver who fetch us there did not drop us back same place as he pick us up. we feel he just drop us where it is convenient to him. It was raining and the place he drop us off have no taxis. pick-up was also not convenient. had to find our way to the common pick-up place. apart from the poor transport arrangement the trip was ok.
