The French-speaking guide was really great for us. Told us where to go to make the most of our visit. It was great

There was way more then i expected. You will need at least 2 days, no joke, to take it all in. Meeting with a real astronaut was one of the best moments for my son and i. just an overall amazing experience for any family. Seeing the actual size of rockets and the Atlantis is mind blowing. We cant wait to go back.
Well organised, informative, rerspectful and not patronising musuem that had something for visitors of all ages, and knowledge levels.
The Kennedy Space Center is amazing. The bus tour allowed us to the Apollo history, lunar landings, touch a moon rock, see alligators, launch pad etc. The shuttle exhibits are both educational and heartbreaking. There is so much to see.
Really appreciated the ease of getting our tickets and entering the Space Center. Had a little difficulty using the app to pull the tickets up for our second day. The app was a bit glitchy.
The electronic tickets worked smoothly at the entrance, with no problems. I made 2 purchases, for my family, and everything went well with both purchases.

Great trip, staff was amazing in all areas. Bus drivers were funny. A lot of great thing's and really enjoyed the shows with information.
We met an astronaut, Barbara Morgan. She was wonderful, answered all of our questions and spent time with everyone. The Space Shuttle is amazing and the staff answered all our questions. And our lunch was delicious! A glorious day. Thanks so much.
It was very nice. I liked the spaces and the majesty of the place. The beginning with a whole mystique about the heroes gave it a sense of mysticism and entivity...

I thoroughly enjoyed the explorer tour and visiting all of the sites and exhibitions. Our lunch was very tasty; simply delicious.
There was no good guide for what we were going to experience in each building. Nowhere that felt like it showed a full overview of the history of the space program. The buildings certainly weren't in chronological order and we could easily figure it out. Then when we got to the Atlantis building we had no frame of reference for where we were going or why and we were just stuck behind a ton of loud elementary kids with zero idea of what we were waiting for or even if we should be waiting or if we were accidentally stuck when we could have walked past the kids.
Everything was incredible, I was amazed to see something I had only seen on TV. Mr. Victor from gateway was extremely kind, I loved his information and suggestions of what to visit next.

Everything. Absolutely everything was fantastic. From the films, simulations, spacecraft, audio, and people. ..everything. We spent 7 hours there and it felt like 7 minutes. We are looking forward to our next visit.
We had a good time but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to see everything , we arrived around 12:30 pm and the place closed at 5pm, definitely we need to go back ...
the experience itself was crazy! I felt like a kid at the fair and I don't think I did or read or saw everything there was to see, read or do: I hope someday I can come back and finish seeing, reading or doing everything there is to see , read or do! Unfortunately, for all the things to read or listen to, there is not the slightest chance for those who are not familiar with the English language to be able to hear or read it translated into their own idiom. It fits, But I can't give the highest rating because I booked the all-day bus tour for $100, and, because there was a rocket launch, it was canceled. I was told at the customer service office that all booked customers would be refunded, but instead 9 days later I still have not received a refund. I was on December 5, 2024, best regards, Antonello MELONI, Sardinia, Italy

The awesome, intriguing experience of chatting with astronaut Fred Gregory, a man with enormous enthusiasm for his incredible life as a pilot, military service specialist and astronaut. America has an astonishing man who the country can be proud of and massively grateful to for his service. I felt all those feelings as a fellow human, as I am not an American. We were also super impressed by being inside and alongside the 'live' site shared with NASA, SpaceX and Blue Origin.
I visited in 1975 and it was vastly different. You were up close back then and you could appreciate the huge scale because you could touch it. Also, the experience was still in NASA hands not everything was monetized. It was windy in November when we went so I was glad air was free or we wouldn't have been able to afford it.
The bus drivers were great, the presentations were moving, the displays were impressive, the entire staff was incredible. Excellent day!
All the exhibits were great. The Space Center is very well organized. We ate at the Center and the food was reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Everything. Was here some 3o yrs ago ... things have changed and both the Apollo mission control and the Space Shuttle exhibits are marvelous, just to mention 2 examples !
The Atlantis reveal never disappoints! We were visiting with family that had not been before and she cried. Always worth the visit, especially if you have anyone in the family that loves space.
The overall experience was well worth the price. We did the general admission tickets and stayed about 4 hours and that was enough time for us to experience what we wanted. The staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable
The exhibit that was the marquee for my visit to the Kennedy Space Center was the Shuttle Atlantis. I remember seeing the Shuttle Columbia first take off on TV in the early 1980s as a child, and I hope to see it in person someday. On December 5, 2024, I saw the Space Shuttle Atlantis up close, fulfilling a childhood dream. Thank you Kennedy Space Center for making this possible. All the other exhibits were exceptional as well.
Watching a SpaceX launch from the Saturn V center was amazing. I had always wanted to see an actual flight-item Lunar Excursion Module, so that was a treat. The video presention on the first lunar landing was very well done -- I remember watching it live on television, when it wasn't so clear to the viewing public what was going on with the on-board computer errors. It was fun to trace the history of launch vehicles standing in the rocket garden. The Space Shuttle is well-displayed; you can see it better than you could the one in Los Angeles (which is currently off display until they finish remodeling). The overall approach at the Kennedy Space Center is a bit too reminiscent of a theme park and a bit too heavy on the nationalist propaganda message for my taste; I prefer the more historical and technical style of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. But that was partially closed for renovation when I was there, and I recommend visiting both. If you want to experience an actual launch, Kennedy is the way to go.
I especially enjoyed the talk by Fred Gregory. The young man who gave mic'ed talk by the rockets was excellent. Atlantis exhibit top notch. I would have preferred an introductory video offered online/Youtube that provides an short overview of different displays and exhibits that we could watch prior to arrival. Overall all a great experience.
Kennedy Space Center brings back its annual Holidays in Space event with exciting holiday-themed activities this December.

The explorer tour was excellent. Margaret gave great info with a touch of humor. Liked the ending where you could explore as much or little as you'd like.
Absolutely everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is the best experience of my life! Seriously, this is something that all people who love aviation, space and technology should never miss!

Kennedy Space Center is a extremely interesting, educational and FUN! Seeing the rockets and shuttles, etc., and learning about America's space exploration history and the many people who made it happen was so interesting. The interactive and immersive experiences were all first-rate and exciting. You know those rockets and shuttles are big, but you don't really understand how ENORMOUS they are till you see them for real. And one of the best things about our Kennedy Space Center experience was the wonderful, friendly, helpful people working there. THEY are what really made our visit extra special! Thank you!
We loved the well-documented people at your site! The advances in science at every point. The history of NASA. The need for engineers and others to take over! The expected future on Mars. All the simulators. Healthy catering at affordable prices. Heroes and tributes! Christmas decor! Wow!

The guided tour was very interesting, the Kennedy space is very organised and has many things to do. We visited it twice since the first time didn't have the time to explore all the activities there. It worths a visit and it's money.
I thoroughly enjoyed the explorer tour and visiting all of the sites and exhibitions. Our lunch was very tasty; simply delicious.
Very easy to book. Enjoyed that transportation was available to book so we didn;t need to rent a car...very convenient. Would have liked to have a bit more room in the van as it felt like we were stuffed into the van like sardines in a can. Made the van heat up considerably when 13 people are togethee in a tight space. Understand the economics of filling every seat but having a bit of space would have been nicer. (bu the way... we are not large people).
the experience itself was crazy! I felt like a kid at the fair and I don't think I did or read or saw everything there was to see, read or do: I hope someday I can come back and finish seeing, reading or doing everything there is to see , read or do!

Excellent guide for our 1pm tour. Very knowledgeable and informative about history and future of launches and space travel. He also informed us of a Space X launch on Thursday which we were able to watch. Fabulous two days.
Everything in general. If you go to Orlando, the Kennedy Space Center is worth a visit to learn more about the history of space exploration.

The Atlantis show was really clever. However, I was disappointed with the communication on the explorers tour. We were unable to get to the launch pad due to a broken down vehicle. We were not advised that we were not going to be able to get to the launch pad until we were dropped off at the Saturn centre, finishing the tour 40 mins early. Also, if you shut exhibitions 30 mins before the centre closes, maybe advertise that somewhere.
All good - except the address you sent us to has been wrong for 10 years. You sent us to the employee gate - not the visitors gate!!
We loved being able to explore the park, take guided tours, experience the Saturn 5 up close, and the park's shops. We would have loved to see the crawler and pad up close, but still enjoyed the tour we had purchased. There were many penny presses around campus, which will satisfy all of your souvenir needs.
The day I was there they had a satellite launch that I was only 3 miles away because I booked the bus tour also. The simulator experience was amazing. It was a great experience.
The bus tour to the launch pads , the center with the real Saturn rocket and rocket garden showing the different sizes
We were fortunate to be out on the bus tour at the time of a rocket launch. I've always wanted to observe one in person and it was amazing!
It was terrific! The tour was the best tour that we have ever taken on any trip. Really a great experience. Everything at the Kennedy Space Center was top notch. The weather was great, too. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a mix-up and had arrived late for the 10:30 tour. Kelly at Will Call was wonderful in helping us. She made it possible so that we could get on a later tour on a peak tourist day. She really made the experience for us! Thank you, Kelly!
Bus tour was really good and informative. The last time I was at the center was way back in 1977. I was only 17. Lots more to do. Keep up the good work.
Kennedy Space Center was great. I didn't appreciate the high service fee that Headout charged however. I could have bought the tickets with KSC direct for $45 less.
Unfortunately we purchased the 4 tickets with the experience however, we needed to drive 3 hours from Miami & missed our 10:00 am slot for the Experience part. I reached out to Headout to see if we could come later, but I received a response when we were actually leaving to drive back to Miami. I went to customer service at the KSC and she graciously refunded the Experience part. The rest of the grounds were absolutely amazing & we checked off another box on our bucket list. We did go on the bus tour! The Headout site was very easy to use - thank you! Jan & Keith
It was awesome. A special thanks to our guide John and the coach driver as we managed to see a space rocket take off. The whole experience was just mind blowing. Thank you
The center was great, a wonderful mix of learning and experiential activities. Purchasing on Headout was easy, but I was always concerned that it was a 3rd party and my tickets wouldn't work. I'd recommend more space center branding.
When our tour guide announced that we would back at the viewing area in time for the launch, I could not believe my ears. A launch? I actually saw a rocket go up on my visit, That was very special for me. Also on the visit was my 32 year old son, who has always believed, like a lot of his generation, that the moon landings were fake. I think we changed his views that day.
Well, we paid for the hundred dollar bus tour, but it seemed like if you were just bought a general admission ticket, you will be able to enter and also take the bus tour. So instead of paying a $100, it would have been better to pay like $69, but you still had to pay for parking, which was another 15, but the experience was fantastic. We got to see a lunch

We were also super impressed by being inside and alongside the 'live' site shared with NASA, SpaceX and Blue Origin.
The chat with the astronaut! Fred Gregory was engaging and indicative! Best part of the visit! But the whole experience was fascinating and very well done.
He had very interesting stories and an incredible experience. Unfortunately, there were a lot of kids asking questions. Kids should get this experience but there should be an option for people without kids to ask more serious/interesting questions than having to listen to the astronaut come up with an interesting way to answer kid questions.
The highlight was meeting the astronaut and also getting guidance from the guest relations team who were helpful, informative and friendly.
Loved meeting with the astronaut hearing his experiences and stories. Loved finding out the history of the space program and the future of space travel.
Everything was good with the ticketing. I loved watching my elder son following the conversation and asking questions to John Fabian, the astronaut we spoke with.
Everithing was great. From the moment our guide Kevin came for me, until de moment we came back NASA is an incredible place, it was one of the most happy daays of my life
The talk with the astronaut. We were there that day with my wife and our three teenage children. That talk gave a better meaning to all the things and projections we saw at the site. It was certainly great to see the shuttle, and all the infrastructure to go into space and the stories told in the projections. But we all felt that this talk gave the special touch to this tour.

The trip to Kennedy and chat with an astronaut was fantastic. I bought this trip as a birthday present for my husband and we went as a family during our holiday to Florida. The experience was easy, the ticket on my phone was the ticket to enter so no queuing on the day. I got a handy reminder email a couple of days beforehand with QR codes that scanned at the gate. The actual experience of meeting an astronaut was brilliant, we got to ask lots of questions and he was really interesting and friendly. The breakfast provided was fine - sausage patties in a savoury scone, fruit, yoghurt, granola and pastries. We enjoyed a full day at Kennedy and were even lucky enough to see a launch! I'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone.
The organization went really well. Brad, our guide, was funny and gave us lots of information. And you simply have to experience the Kennedy Space Center. Here, too, we were visited again by Brad in the park, who informed us of any changes to the plans. All in all, a great experience for young and old.

Kennedy Space Center was a great attraction to visit. Extremely informative with great opportunity to experience history of space travel and understand the future of Space Travel. We had organised the breakfast session with an astronaugh which again was interesting and allowed my son (who is an avid space fan) the opportunity to ask questions on all things space. Would thoroughly reccomend.
Meet the Astronaut was better than expected!! The Q&A was very interesting and we learned a lot of great info!! We felt this was a once in a life time experience!!
The main problem was that the Information/Visitors Center is outside the main entrance, so if you enter directly (as we did) you find yourself lost, not knowing what to do or where to start from. Finally we got information from some visitors and started the visit acordingly.
The experience was so easy, from the pickup and drop off location, to having the tickets ready to without standing in line. The guide, Oscar, was very informative and provided tips to get the best experinece.
We loved Bob and his commentary! It was a seamless travel experience although a litttle long due to traffic on the way back. We had the best time at Kennedy Space Center, truly memorable and a once in a lifetime experience we will remember always. Chatting with astronaut John Fabian was phenomenal.
This was truly one of the most memorable experiences our family has had. We ended up at a private chat with an astronaut since no one else booked and John Harrington was really incredible, took a lot of time to answer her questions and talk about his life. I highly recommend, this experience for families
Intimate meeting with Astronaut allowing to ask questions! Even a great breakfast buffet was offered. Many thanks for this most memorable experience. Our 11-year old loved it!
It was very interesting seeing the space center. The exhibits were very interesting and well done. We really enjoyed the experience.
The setting was intamite. OUr astronut ws informative and funny. We couldnt have asked for a better ambassador from earth to space
Tickets allowed entry for 2 days and able to see all the attractions at leisure. Collected tickets at visitor centre. Gateway Departure to Mars was awesome.
John wax excellent and his ability to take on all questions was second to none. He was informative as well as amusing. I would also call out the staff at the Information Centre and the security staff at the iMax who were very helpful and effective when I realised I had lost my phone once I had left the centre. On returning they had it back to me in minutes, despite dealing with a missing child and a medical emergency. You have a top notch team!
My family and I met the man who invented space surfing!!!! He was so amazing answering all our questions about space, and how it is truly a different world up there.
Loved the way they presented their artifacts. The Apollo/Saturn V display was wonderful and brought back many memories. At the end of their audio/video presentation on the shuttle when they revealed the actual shuttle Atlantis, tremendous! It takes your breath away. Loved the astronaut hall of fame and the in memorium for the Apollo and Shuttle astronauts. The background info and personal artifacts displayed actually gave a little insight to the actual people. This is a must see destination not only for space buffs but for young people to educate them on the history and importance of America's space programs.

We are a family group of 12 from Australia. We are so pleased we chose the KSC Small Group VIP Experience. The driver who picked us up at the Resort was prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable. He gave us information about KSC and advice on how to manage our visit. Kennedy Space Centre is an incredible place. Adults and children in our group were totally immersed, and the rain did not affect our enjoyment or ability to have a satisfying experience. The bus tour was epic. Our guide was fantastic - so knowledgeable. We actually could have easily spent another full day at Kennedy Space Centre. We would recommend this small group tour to others. It was a comfortable and quick way to travel to KSC privately as a group. The bus tour was thorough and allowed us time to get off the bus to see things such as the White Room, and our driver was there at the end of the day to take us back to our resort.
Great information from our driver Brad. He was polite, funny and had a lot of insight on Orlando and the space centre. The bus tour at the space centre was fantastic- covered everything. Recommend this tour for anyone
The ticketing experience was really great, it was easy to order and the pick up and collection was super smooth. The actual trip to NASA was amazing!
Very nice pick up from Oscar, he was very charming and helpful. It was a convenient and relaxing Drive from Disney Hotel to Kennedy Space Center with a lot of Information how to orgsnise the day there.
The punctuality, the attention and the cordiality to make the tour I had a great time in all the services that took me and attended me.

The driver Bred was at the hotel on time and drove us there and back safely. The breakfast and snacks were good and the trip was very informative. The children really enjoyed the quiz and the coins we won are a great souvenir. The visit to the Kennedy Space Center is highly recommended.
Easy and smooth booking and ticketing experience. Pre-trip communication was perfect as well as pick up time. Kevin, our driver, was a real guide who gave plenty of information throughout the journey. On board breakfast and snacks were also great.
We really enjoyed hearing about the best places to visit. We wanted to see everything but there isn't enough time. The guide pointed out where to go and had made reservations for 2 really great experiences. The guide was not with us for most of the day but he was good at assisting before and had all of our tickets ready.
We enjoyed the exhibits and the tour. My only complaint was the food service. All the restaurants were packed and we waited forever for our order. We wasted 2 hours of our time there. Head out was fine, no issues.
The driver of the shuttle gave excellent advice in how to get the most out the time while at Kennedy. The guide in the bus tour was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and answered all my questions. To see the Atlantis and the simulated launch was the best part.
Our guide, i believe his name was Preston, was super friendly , helpful and knowledgeable. He had some great advice that really made the limited time we had super effective so we squeezed every bit out of the trip. The group was a lot of fun too!
Driver doesn't need to drive that fast when returning guest to their hotel. It's not the Daytona500.. there are kids and old folks on the bus.
I like the convenience of pickup direct from the hotel with breakfast and snacks provided. The tour of the various launch sites was also amazing with some great photo stops and excellent knowledge from the tour gides, however this part of the tour did feel a little long (over 2 hrs) and compromised our ability to visit a few exhibits at the museum. This makes you prioritise what you want to see at the rest of the museum. Our pickup/drop-off guide was very knowledgable about the museum, and gave us the best tips of which parts to see first. so we could then get onto the launch site tour. Overall, a great tour. If you want to see many of the launch sites up close, this one is for you. Plan another day at the museum if you really want to take it all in though.
The snacks and food were mediocre. There was a lot to remember about planning our day from what the guide explained while driving. We thought that the guide who drove us to KSS would stay with us all day. The bus tour later in the day was excellent. But we had to rush through everything.
The transport to the Kennedy Space Center was really good. The driver was very friendly and informed us in advance about the activities on site. When we reached our destination, everything was incredibly exciting. The impressions were fantastic. I can recommend the Kennedy Space Center to everyone.
Best Tuesday of our lives. When I called in advance with questions I received very clear answers. Our driver Preston was a pleasure to spend the day with.
The driver was great, Preston; went out of his way for us. The van booked was apparently out of commission but Gray Line didn't advise us, just sent Preston with a smaller van. It had enough seats but no room for my transport chair though we'd been very clear we had a stroller and chair. We were forced then to rent a chair for $10, which I feel Gray Line should credit me for. (Preston rented it in his own tab without even telling me it cost him but I found out and paid him back; a good example of his level of service). I understanda unexpected problems arise but it could have been handled much better with communication and on offer to reimburse me for the chair rental. Other than that things went very smoothly. Preston managed all the details very well. Note that I was forced to check an option above but none really fit my particular problem. I chose the closest.
We went to Kennedy Space Center. We purchased the VIP tour. We were picked up at our Resort by Preston. He is awesome! Fun yet professional. The extended tour at Kennedy was a bit much foe me, but husband LOVED it. I would have been happier just going to the rocket without the launch sites. But this was for my husband, so all good. Don't expect to see everything in one day with the extended tour. Research to see what is most important to you. It was Awesome to have Preston drive. We didn't have to worry about the route!
so much to see! The Atlantis experience and exhibit were amazing, the VIP bus tour was great (although a bit long as we then did not have nearly enough time to see all the other things we wanted to see), the rocket launch ride was cool, and the rocket garden were our favorites!
We thoroughly enjoyed the KSC Explorer tour and the guide was very informative. We did not receive the first bullet highlight of this tour: "Get a premium VIP experience complete with your own NASA expert for the day in an intimate small group setting". This particular highlight was the selling point of spending $229 per person and frankly, were very disappointed in what we received for this amount of money. I've been on other VIP tours where a specific guide was assigned to us for the entire time of the tour. I feel this highlight is false advertising and should be removed from the description.
Everything went as scheduled and planned. Good quality breakfast in adequate quantity. Personable driver (Oscar N). He gave us tips to navigate the KSC to optimize our visit and experience. VIP tour was truly great. Highly recommended.
How much knowledge our driver shared with us on the drive in as well as the history we learned on our exploration of Kennedy Space Centre. Enjoyed seeing Atlantis up close as well as many other aspects offered. The bus tour was also an I teresti g learning experience and seeing the launch pads was a bonus. Definitely a worthwhile tour while in Flordia. Many thanks:)
Excellent experience, from the transportation to the information to the knowledge acquired. My children were happy at each of the sites visited. Thank you!

Our VIP KSS Exploration Experience ticketing was done online and delivered by our bus driver on pickup at our hotel. The visit to Kennedy Space Center was truly awsome with the complete history of the USA Space Program and exhibits that are real and interactive. Truly amazing!
Coming from Germany this ws an experience that you normally don´t do easily. That´s the reason why expectations were high. Everything we have seen was incredible and gave us a deeper understanding. The amount of information is not "makeable" in one day. Especially when in the morning the street to the entrance is closed due to the transport of a space-X rocket module. Instead of starting at 9h we were just able to start at 10h am. Here I would expect to postpone the return journey to have more time. Best regards from Germany Christian

Fabulous day out. Great coach host and driver. Very informative, good guidance on how to navigate around the large site and what best to spend time at. Thoroughly Enjoyed the day.
Everything was well organized, instructions and tips for the day were really clear. The Space Center is well furnished, a lot of explanations and gorgeous things to see. I learnt a lot of things during my visit.
Excellent experience. Coach ride was great and on time. Explanation was clear and easy to follow. Totally exceeded my expectations
The tour guide Kevin was awesome and provided us with information as we drove from Orlando to the space center. He gave an example itinerary and what to do when we were that was very helpful! The bus was comfortable and had many pick up locations.
Great experience from the moment we got picked up until the drop off. Kennedy Space Centre is such a great place, plenty to do, awesome time
We loved the whole experience, the bus that picked us up was on time and the tour guide during the trip was giving a lot of important information. The NASA experience was out of this world, and we had the chance to see a rocket launch as well which was awesome. Would recommend this to our friends when they visit Orlando !!!
Everything, from the beginning Bob and David were very friendly and led us to make the most out of our experience. Within the KSC, what can you say? Everything is perfect, impressive, it is a life-changing experience.
Modern bus. comfortable. very knowledgeable guide. The space center very good modern didactic interactive. Very good experience.

All the activities are so amazing. The only thing I didn't like was Artemisa's merchandise, I think they should have more designs
Everithing was great. From the moment our guide Kevin came for me, until de moment we came back NASA is an incredible place, it was one of the most happy daays of my life
I appreciate not having to drive to Kennedy from Orlando myself. I always have a Wonderful time at the Kennedy Space Center.
Our guide Ricky was so incredibly insightful and truly made our trip we cannot say enough good words about him! Likewise our driver Dave got us there and back so safely and took the time to show us points of interest on our way: again we are so happy to have had him as our driver. Once we arrived the staff at KSC were so wonderful and shared so much amazing information with such kindness and we had the best day ever!
We booked very last minute (the night before) but as soon as we had the booking confirmation from Headout we also received information about our pickup point from Gray Line complete with photos so we knew exactly where to go in the morning which made everything so easy. Our guide Carmen was so lovely, she gave us great tips and information to get the most from our day out and she also told us funny and informative stories about the local area. She also did a fab quiz once we were back on the bus which our son loved taking part in. I would definitely book through Headout if we were in Orlando again
Easy booking. Pick up on time. Excellent bus team - Kevin - he made us all feel welcome and looked after us. Great source of information with his commentary. Kennedy centre is awesome in every way.
The whole experience was so easy, and everything was right on schedule the day of our tour. Our guide on the bus (Bob?), was very knowledgeable and fun. The bus was comfortable, and our driver (Carlos) was also excellent. A very nice day!
The organization went really well. Brad, our guide, was funny and gave us lots of information. And you simply have to experience the Kennedy Space Center. Here, too, we were visited again by Brad in the park, who informed us of any changes to the plans. All in all, a great experience for young and old.

Our family had limited time in Orlando on this trip and we wanted to visit Kennedy Space Center, this trip with transfers from conveniently located pickup spots enabled us to do so in an efficient manner. Our tour guide and driver gave us a safe and informative ride into Kennedy Space Center and we had a fabulous day exploring the history of humankind's journey into space. The exhibits were awe inspiring and we were fortunate enough to see a launching of a Space X rocket on our particular trip! Great experience and our family enjoyed it!
Excelente experiência, o passeio foi fantástico o local é incrível com bastante coisas interessantes para conhecer, simuladores, equipamentos que foram utilizados nas missões especiais e etc.
I'm not interested in space at all. Don't really know that much about it. Went for something different to do. We absolutely loved it. So intriguing from where it all started to current year. I am now hooked. Excellent trip and would definitely recommend even if you aren't interested in all that like myself there will be some part of it that will captivate you. Brilliant
We loved the Atlantis space shuttle, the shuttle launch experience, and seeing the Saturn 4. The entire place was incredible
The info pack was good but perhaps the yellow slip recommending to run for the buses and go to Apollo pavilion was the best of all and well worth the money I spent. The host's recommendations on the bus too, made the difference between a fumbling/learning tourist, and the knowledgeable tourist who got the most out of 1 day.
The experience was so easy, from the pickup and drop off location, to having the tickets ready to without standing in line. The guide, Oscar, was very informative and provided tips to get the best experinece.
Visit organized by Greyline, great organization, and the guide Oscar was great, he explained everything to us on the bus. The place is great, located in a nature reserve, a must: everything! Especially the Bus Tour and the Moon Theater...

We loved Bob and his commentary! It was a seamless travel experience although a litttle long due to traffic on the way back. We had the best time at Kennedy Space Center, truly memorable and a once in a lifetime experience we will remember always. Chatting with astronaut John Fabian was phenomenal.

Well organised, informative, rerspectful and not patronising musuem that had something for visitors of all ages, and knowledge levels.
The Kennedy Space Center is amazing. The bus tour allowed us to the Apollo history, lunar landings, touch a moon rock, see alligators, launch pad etc. The shuttle exhibits are both educational and heartbreaking. There is so much to see.
The electronic tickets worked smoothly at the entrance, with no problems. I made 2 purchases, for my family, and everything went well with both purchases.

We met an astronaut, Barbara Morgan. She was wonderful, answered all of our questions and spent time with everyone. The Space Shuttle is amazing and the staff answered all our questions. And our lunch was delicious! A glorious day. Thanks so much.
It was very nice. I liked the spaces and the majesty of the place. The beginning with a whole mystique about the heroes gave it a sense of mysticism and entivity...

There was no good guide for what we were going to experience in each building. Nowhere that felt like it showed a full overview of the history of the space program. The buildings certainly weren't in chronological order and we could easily figure it out. Then when we got to the Atlantis building we had no frame of reference for where we were going or why and we were just stuck behind a ton of loud elementary kids with zero idea of what we were waiting for or even if we should be waiting or if we were accidentally stuck when we could have walked past the kids.
Everything was incredible, I was amazed to see something I had only seen on TV. Mr. Victor from gateway was extremely kind, I loved his information and suggestions of what to visit next.

Everything. Absolutely everything was fantastic. From the films, simulations, spacecraft, audio, and people. ..everything. We spent 7 hours there and it felt like 7 minutes. We are looking forward to our next visit.
We had a good time but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to see everything , we arrived around 12:30 pm and the place closed at 5pm, definitely we need to go back ...
The bus drivers were great, the presentations were moving, the displays were impressive, the entire staff was incredible. Excellent day!
Everything. Was here some 3o yrs ago ... things have changed and both the Apollo mission control and the Space Shuttle exhibits are marvelous, just to mention 2 examples !
The Atlantis reveal never disappoints! We were visiting with family that had not been before and she cried. Always worth the visit, especially if you have anyone in the family that loves space.
The overall experience was well worth the price. We did the general admission tickets and stayed about 4 hours and that was enough time for us to experience what we wanted. The staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable
The exhibit that was the marquee for my visit to the Kennedy Space Center was the Shuttle Atlantis. I remember seeing the Shuttle Columbia first take off on TV in the early 1980s as a child, and I hope to see it in person someday. On December 5, 2024, I saw the Space Shuttle Atlantis up close, fulfilling a childhood dream. Thank you Kennedy Space Center for making this possible. All the other exhibits were exceptional as well.
Watching a SpaceX launch from the Saturn V center was amazing. I had always wanted to see an actual flight-item Lunar Excursion Module, so that was a treat. The video presention on the first lunar landing was very well done -- I remember watching it live on television, when it wasn't so clear to the viewing public what was going on with the on-board computer errors. It was fun to trace the history of launch vehicles standing in the rocket garden. The Space Shuttle is well-displayed; you can see it better than you could the one in Los Angeles (which is currently off display until they finish remodeling). The overall approach at the Kennedy Space Center is a bit too reminiscent of a theme park and a bit too heavy on the nationalist propaganda message for my taste; I prefer the more historical and technical style of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. But that was partially closed for renovation when I was there, and I recommend visiting both. If you want to experience an actual launch, Kennedy is the way to go.
I especially enjoyed the talk by Fred Gregory. The young man who gave mic'ed talk by the rockets was excellent. Atlantis exhibit top notch. I would have preferred an introductory video offered online/Youtube that provides an short overview of different displays and exhibits that we could watch prior to arrival. Overall all a great experience.
I went at my own pace, all the attractions are very interesting. The staff was very friendly The facilities in perfect condition

The whole adventure was just excellent from the time we arrived at 9:45am till 5:15pm. We just thoroughly enjoyed and sponged up every bit. The IMAX film from the Webb and Hubble telescopes proved exceptional. The graphics reminded us of the AI artwork at the MOMA in BYC. That was phenomenal! Will recommend the clean, well attended park to family and friends. Thank you for such a special day starting with Information planning out day to saying good night to the Heroes exhibit.
Realizing the excitement my 6-year-old grandson showed in seeing the rocket garden, and the Apollo museum was fantastic; only outdoen by his enthusiasm to meet a "real" astronaut!!!! Now he wants to be an astronaut!
There weren't many people at the entrance, but having the tickets scanned on headout saved us a lot of time.

I felt the exhibits really allowed us to fully understand the development of the entire space program. Very much enjoyed the whole Atlantis experience and the pinnacle was being able to witness and actual rocket launch with SpaceX
Our experience at the Kennedy Space was wonderful! The exhibits were so well done seeing rocket ships up close and personal was really educational! The simulated ride was a must do giving you the feeling of a launch and being in space!!! A great experience I highly recommend it!! It made me proud to be American.
We all really enjoyed our day at Kennedy Space centre. The tour of the island and the information given by the driver was excellent. The whole place is amazing . We just wished we had known there was a launch that day as we'd have liked to watch that .
It was an overbite ticket purchase at a reasonable price. The ambien was amazing, the bus ride, zhe tour guides, the Saturn exhibits and the space shuttle story made it all amazing. My 4year old nephew was so thrilled he did not complain at all.Amazin

Amazing way to combine both KSC and an airboat ride into 1 day. Brad kept us entertained and informed throughout the trip and Vincent got us there and back safe and sound. Thanks for the memories.
I did not get an audio guide. The guide on the bus was good, but once we got off the bus there was no direction. The lady on the bus was knowledgeable, but she did not take us around the park or suggest going to the guest services desk for insight on which part of the park to go to first. She was very pleasant.
It was wonderful not having to worry about driving multiple vehicles for our entire family to go. The driver/tour guide was friendly with helpful tips.
bus ride was great, easy to find the pick up spot. Transfers to airboat ride bus was seamless.
Everything was smooth easy, and fun filled day! Highly recommend!
Totally brilliant day, though maybe needed longer at the space centre

Mauricio was a great host and did his best to make a great experience. The trip was as planned and the center complex is worth the visit
I liked the guided bus tour but I wish we could visit the VAB and that it is more about the Artemis program. I also liked the Atlantis tour - just amazing
Being able to see the real ships. Hearing or reading about their adventures. Learning about the history of the space program and where it is heading.
Loved the informative guide who explained what to expect, and how best to go about experiencing KSC. I also appreciated the discounted admission ticket.
Really helpful knowledgeable guide who enhanced the visit
Fantastic experience really enjoyed it will be definitely booking for next summer.
Great service and both driver and guide were most professional.
It was an amazing experience and provided information and a fun way to get to kennedy space! Would highly recommend!
