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!

You get to see first hand so much of what we saw from a distance in the old days of space travel - loved it. Have been twice!

We loved the Kennedy space center! I see many people complaining about prices, but we felt it was well worth the money. 2 IMAX movies are included with admission, as well as the space shuttle simulator and a very informative bus ride. The rocket garden was also a highlight of this place. It was great, definitely a must see if... More

Then you were charged $ 10.00,for parking there and $ 100.00 for us to enter.. Next , two of the main exhibits were closed.We also were in a virtual " Ghost Town... More
