Kennedy Space Center VIP Tour

5.00We booked the VIP experience and it was worth every dollar paid. Our guide Richard and driver Ken were exceptional! Richard has a wealth of knowledge to share which made our experience so wonderful. He was co-hosting with Steve on the bus portion of our tour - both fellas outstanding. The ability to avoid the lineups for all of the simulator experiences especially during spring break was a huge bonus. One day is definitely enough time to enjoy this experience. Will definitely be back for a return visit.
Do not take the bus tour...

2.00Do not take the bus tour first if you want to see anything else. You stand in line more than anything literally hours.

5.00We went for 2 days and used all that time to see almost everything. Our 12 year old grandson and we loved it. There were no long lines. Everything was so well organized. The admission fees are low compared to Disney! You can easily buy tickets onsite. We did get ours online and it was easy to use. The visit was 5 star!

5.00What a great place for adults and children. So much information, things to see and do, and cool gift shop items to purchase. You can spend the day learning, eating, watching movies/shows about space, touring around, and they have a kids play area. A must see for anyone who is interested in everything space related.
Kennedy Space Center – Fantastic Day Out for All Ages

4.00We had a brilliant day at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. There’s so much to see and do, with plenty of interactive areas that kept both adults and kids engaged throughout the day. Highlights included seeing the incredible Space Shuttle Atlantis up close and walking through the Rocket Garden surrounded by historic rockets. The simulators were great fun too although the queuing system needs some work. We waited in line for a considerable time whilst others who arrived later were ushered through. We were also lucky enough to see the Artemis II rocket on the launch pad, which was really inspiring. The bus tour around the NASA complex was fascinating and gave a great behind-the-scenes look at the space program. There’s also a huge soft-play area for kids, which was perfect for letting them burn off some energy. It’s easily a full day out — we actually could have spent another day exploring everything. Tickets felt reasonably priced for the experience, we purchased from Attraction Tickets on a child free basis. Getting there from Orlando was straightforward. There are several shared shuttles and coaches available however we took Ubers both ways, which cost between $79 and $105 in total, though it would also be an easy drive if you have a car. As a family of 4 this was definitely the most cost effective route if you don’t have your own transport. A fun bonus was spotting a few alligators around the site, which our kids thought was very exciting! Overall, a fun-filled and inspiring visit that we’d definitely recommend.
