Great chance to get close to the spacecenter site. Our guide on the tour was great at explaining it all. Booking with Headout was easy and when I got to the visitors Center I just had to go straight in.

For lovers of space, science and history, it is a worthwhile place. It is something different from theme parks like Universal and Disney. I recommend it 100%.

It's my third time coming back to the Kennedy Space Center and I'd come back the fourth time. I always find it inspiring, fascinating and awesome of what mankind accomplished 60 years ago with the means they had available. On top, we were able to see a rocket launch from afar on Cape Canaveral. So cool!

We really loved being able to get a closer look at the rocket on the launch pad. The tour guide was both knowledgeable and fun.

I purchased 2 tickets for a 2 hour bus tour. Due to traffic and an accident I was concerned I would be late so i called your customer service to see if I could reschedule or get a refund. I was told 'sorry about your luck but no reschedule or refund" Main reason was becuase I used your website to purchase entrance tickets and the bus tour, basically I was made to feel like I was stupid for doing so by your customer service rep. I used the Kennedy Space Center website and this was not clear. I feel cheated and take advantage of. I could not help that there was an accident and I was forced to seat in traffic just be told I just spent money that I can't get back. Very disappointing!!!!

Your experience

The special offer lets you grab an adult ticket for the price of a child's. It's the perfect summer deal for budget-conscious fun! At the main visitor center complex, you'll first spot the Space Shuttle Atlantis, a spacecraft only astronauts have seen before. The payload bay doors are open, making it look like it was floating in space. This interactive model lets you experience the sensation of floating in space. Continue to explore exhibits like Heroes and Legends, sit for an IMAX movie, and walk through the rocket garden.

Your Explore Tour begins on a bus with a space expert guide. You'll make several stops along the way, where you can take pictures. Notice spaceflight operations like the Vehicle Assembly Building, historic Launch Complex 39, and disembark for a view of the launch pads used by NASA’s commercial partners such as SpaceX and ULA. By the end of your tour, you'll have much insight into minute details and fascinating facts about space travel.
