Fantastic day at Kennedy Space Centre
Colin F,May 11, 2026

5.00What a fantastic day this was. I went on Wednesday 6th May and our bus driver was Megan and our guide was Bonni ‘Yes drill Sergeant’. They were both very friendly and very approachable. I must say that I’m still laughing at the astronaut jokes from Bonni. We arrived at Kennedy Space Centre and we all made our own way into the visitor complex. I’d booked the additional tour to see the launch sites and assembly buildings so I set off to meet the bus for the time I’d booked. This was amazing and well worth it. Our driver was George, 17 years as a NASA driver, and our guide was Ken. Ken was extremely knowledgeable and was very happy to answer questions when we reached each stop along the route. After finishing this tour I left the bus and viewed the rest of the complex. Everything is amazing and the rocket exhibits are great. The exhibit I was most looking forward to seeing was the Space Shuttle Atlantis and it didn’t disappoint in its stunning display. Another great experience was the Shuttle launch simulator which takes you onboard a shuttle during launch to experience what the astronauts feel during lift off. I would definitely recommend this on your itinerary while in Florida as it won’t disappoint young or old.

3.00Bus and guide (Bob) we're excellent But didn't think Kennedy space centre was value for money. Also been travelling around the USA 3 weeks and the food at Kennedy space centre is by far the worst.

5.00The transport to and from the Kennedy Center was smooth and quick. Our tour guide Bonni was engaging and knowledgeable, she really made the transport enjoyable. The center was so insightful and educational, easy to understand even the technical parts. The staff onsite were mostly friendly and it wasn't too busy given it was a Saturday. 100% worth booking even if it was just transport.

5.00Bus pick up was punctual, Bred as our tour guide had the list of passengers, he called our name one by one and handed out tickets/maps personally. This gave us from the very beginning the impression of a well organized tour. In the bus Bred gave us detailed information where to go, how to plan our visit, reminded us there’s a launch today, and answered questions from each of us. He was so much of help. It’s a pity the launch was cancelled at last minute, but I really enjoyed the experience at the space center. In the end Bred and the driver brought us back to the drop off points, again he provided transparency of the drop off sequence, making easy for us to plan our time.

4.00It was a pretty good experience. Brad our guide was a jolly person and made our bus ride fun and lively. We definitely enjoyed his presence. Kennedy Space Centre was a pretty informative place and we had fun. Although, we were disappointed and disheartened when the rocket launch which we paid 400 dollars in total was delayed to two days after. We are departing a day before the rescheduled launch. It’s definitely very disappointing that they did not refund a single penny. Not suggested to go for the rocket launch. Overall our experience was alright!
Very well organized excursion including admission

5.00Through GetYourGuide, I booked admission to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center and transportation from Orlando. Separately, I bought an additional Premium Launch Ticket as a rocket launch was announced. This was unfortunately cancelled at short notice. Of course, the organizer can't help it. The transport was super organized and punctual. We got the standard tickets on the way out. Brad enriched the ride with a fact that made it very entertaining. Too bad about the not happening rocket launch. But great organization. Also the time true enough to see everything important. Should I manage to see a rocket launch again, I would book again.

5.00The Gray line Bus was on time and the travel was pleasant. Our tour guide Brad was fun, pleasant and very informative. He explained things nicely and gave bunch of good pointers. He is also good at mimicking Dobby’s voice! And it was pretty good! 👌🏼. Overall great experience. Alas, the planned Space X Heavy Rocket launch was cancelled, only that part was a bit disappointing.
Punctual, friendly and impressive
