Make plans to visit Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for an out-of-this-world experience. Here you'll be inspired as you dive into the past, present and future of space travel. Divided into Mission Zones, where attractions and tours are grouped by chronological era, you can get an up-close, hands-on feel for the story of the humans in space. Learn about early space adventures and pioneers at Heroes & Legends. Take your visit to the next level with the Behind the Gates bus tour that gives you access to launch sites, and learn about the Apollo Era at Race to the Moon, featuring a Saturn V rocket. And no trip here is complete without a visit to Space Shuttle Atlantis inside Shuttle: A Ship Like No Other.

This takes place daily and is open to all members of your party. Want to visit for a rocket launch? Launch viewing experiences are an additional cost and availability varies per launch.
