This was our 3rd time to visit the Space Center though my kids first time. We still loved it and the kids were in awe after it. They even got to touch a piece of the moon!. Only thing was we missed the opening of the new Atlantis exhibition by a month so will have to return again! It is... More

If you like Rockets and NASA you will love this place. My 4 years old son loved seeing the Saturn V.

About 90 mins from I-Drive this place is worth a visit. I would suggest visiting the launch sites and hanger first and finish off with visitor centre. There is lots to see and do at KSC. A highlight of our visit to Florida

First visit with my husband and two sons (11 & 8). My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and found it extremely informative and interesting. The highlight for my son's was Angry Birds! They were a bit bored and lost interest in some things quite quickly. The shuttle launch experience was disappointing. I was expecting it to be quite... More

My son, 7, thought he was not going to like the bus tour when we started out...Lots of moaning and groaning. But, it did not take long for that to subside! Great bus tour of the premises, with great movies about the Apollo missions. Facilities very nice. Though the exhibit had little to do with space, the Angry Birds venue... More

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day at NASA. Very educational and interesting. We drove from Orlando and it took less than an hour. A must do if you are in the area.

We booked this as part of an airboat ride package with GreyLine (I would really recommend this as it includes transfers to and from Orlando, an Airboat ride and all inclusive tickets to KSC and was reasonably priced at £75 per person). . When you arrive I recommend to go to guest services, they will give you the best way... More

We really enjoyed seeing the Kennedy Space Center. We got to learn so much about the astronauts, we even got to see the launch pad.

This was so much fun! There were lots of artifacts and memorabilia from the space missions. The simulator is super cool! The building at Apollo V is fascinating. You can even touch a moon rock! The gift shop was reasonably priced for trinkets. A must-do for families with children interested in space!

I think everyone visiting Florida MUST come to JFK Space Center... to see all the good they are doing for us all - in the world! We pay entertainers and sports idols so much $, and yet the people who do so much good for us earn so little - and are even getting budget cuts. Unbelievable!
