This comprehensive attraction devoted to the space shuttle brings you face-to-face with the priceless Atlantis spacecraft as only astronauts have seen it before

  • with payload bay doors open as if it were floating in space. Shuttle Launch Experience, this simulator ride replicates the sights, sounds and feelings of a shuttle launch.

The narrated NASA bus tour, brings you to the Saturn V Center. Find yourself standing inside the launch control room and looking at an actual Saturn V - the largest rocket ever to fly! Within this facility you get the chance to touch a piece of moon rock.

After the bus tour, you will have a little more time to enjoy the visitor center before leaving to see the airboat ride. But the complex has many breathtaking exhibitions

  • from walking through a rocket garden, to seeing 3D IMAX movies to feel like you are walking on the moon, there is so much to see and do.
  • Saint Johns River - Following your time at Kennedy Space Center, you’ll experience the swamps of Florida on a 30-minute airboat ride.

See exotic plants, flowers and wildlife. You’ll travel at high speeds, gliding across the waters of the St. Johns River.

Wildlife often seen can be alligators swimming in the river, cows walking the banks and many birds flying around the area.

The Fish Camp is a very rural area with a little rustic bar and store inside. It has some tables and chairs you can sit back and relax to watch the river whilst waiting for the tour vehicle to return. Its an exciting yet peaceful end to the afternoon.

Fab family trip - Fantastic trip with Leighanne (apologies if spelling Wong). She was engaging and enthusiastic and we loved her stories. The Kennedy Space Center was huge with lots to see, we followed the recommended route and saw all the key attractions before heading off for our airboat ride. Our guide there was local and knowledgeable and we spotted many alligators along the way although a more difficult season to spot them in. The whole day was worth it and we would do it all again. (Uk family of three with a teen).

Nice day out from the theme parks! - It was a fun trip to KSC, it is worth the money to see this place! The Airboat ride was around mid afternoon, and while it does take away some time at KSC, it was worth it for the added experience and very enjoyable. Our guide provided interesting information on the way and drop off at the pickup point was flawless. It is a bit pricey but you will thank yourself later!

KSC Stress Free - We were delighted with our all inclusive experience. (Minus food) The Gray Line bus with our tour guide Oscar Noriyuki picked us up just minutes from our hotel. We arrived at the KSC gates where Oscar handed us our tickets and our adventure began. After touring KSC, we boarded the bus for our air boat ride. Everything was so well planned and very convenient. Oscar also gave very good advice on how to navigate KSC so we were able to see all that was important to us. It was an enjoyable, stress free experience.

Go by yourself - 1 star is the least I can give, so I'm counting that as a 0 star. I'm giving this 2 star (basically 1) just because of the kennedy space center. I booked also the airboat, but only at the morning they told us on the bus that who going to the airboat will get 2 hours less in the kennedy space center. I tried to make it to the bus, but the space center was to much interesting from the airboat (I did that allready in other trip so I familliar with this), I asked for a refund and the company declined because the airboat still happening. And with all of that, I thought that the tour will be with guidance but again the answer is no, so basically this trip is just a transportation... So do yourself a favor and just go to kennedy space center with a car or an uber or something else and buy a seperate ticket. P.S. the bus on the way back got stuck due to engine problem so we had to wait 30 minutes until we could ride.
