  So much to do and see at the Kennedy Space Center. If you want to see and experience every thing, you'll need all day. Go to the Shuttle experience first or else you'll spend all day in queues. There is a but. There needs to be much clearer info about when the gates open and when the site itself opens. If people are self positioning, the gates open at 08:00. Also, the tickets issued need to swapped at the Center but the numbers issued don't match anything on the KSC's systems. Fortunately, a name search found us.

  Great day. Had lunch with an astronaut, followed by an extended bus tour (we were the only ones on the tour so we had our very own private tour). Lots to do and see. Worth the trip from Orlando area.

  We planned our visit not knowing that a launch was going to take place on that day. Car parking was $10 but there was no supervisors or transfer to the entrance. We passed through bag search and purchased our tickets and were surprised that we didn’t have to pay full price but put that down to the fact that there was no busses to take you to the launch pad.. We looked at one attraction but had to pay extra for that so we went to the imax screening which was very interesting. We tried to buy food but the queues were extremely long with no guarantee of a table as people seemed to have eaten and staying put until the launch. Restrooms were smelly and the ice cream seller didn’t have vanilla ice cream or Orio.

  I'll start by saying that if you do the normal trip without the ultimate pass this trip was probably okay. Also I cannot fault Kennedy the place is amazing and so was the tours and exhibits. The problem was we booked the ultimate pass through this company. Which included a private guided tour of the Atlantis exhibit, lunch with an astronaut and the up close and personal bus tour. We never got the guided Atlantis tour. We were sent on our way to do it ourselves as soon as we got there. In fact once the guide took us off the bus and we got through the main gate, that was the last we saw of him until 5pm. Our dine with astronaut was at 12-1pm and then bus tour at 1.30pm. As it was the up close tour, the tour did not end up at the saturn 5 exhibit until 3.40pm. We had to be back at the bus for 5pm and had to cue for the shuttle buses from the Saturn 5 back to the main buildings (cue time 30 mins then bus ride itself is 10 mins back) this left us just half a hour to do the Saturn 5 and Apollo area which was not long enough. When I booked this I was told an 11 hour day trip. We did not arrive at NASA until 10am an expected to be back at bus for 5pm. A 5pm pick up for the bus is far too early for the people who have booked the ultimate experience. We just didnt have time to even look around at the Saturn exhibits let alone go in the shop etc. Im also upset that I paid for a "private guided tour" then was just told to do it ourselves! I think you need to do separate tours for the people who have paid a lot of extra money to do the ultimate trip as opposed to the normal trip and make the bus time 6pm pick up. $650 for 4 people isnt cheap. Half a hour at the Saturn centre is not long enough. If I had of known i would have just booked through NASA direct and made my own way to and from the centre. It ruined the afternoon as worrying about times and being back at the main centre to catch the bus.

  Very informative and interesting. Lunch with an Astronaut was a lot of fun , buffet was good, staff was efficient . Touring the sites where so many historic launches took place was awesome.

  My partner and I had such a good day at the Kennedy Space Centre. Whether you have an interest in space or not, I don't think you can fail to enjoy your time at NASA. The basic bus trip shows you around the launch pads at a distance. We had wanted to do one of the enhanced tours but they were sold out, however we were extremely happy with what the price we paid gave us. If you are 55 or over you get to go as a senior! Enjoy!

  We booked way in advance the ULTIMATE SPACE PASS for my husband, myself and two Grandchildren turning 13 and 10. This was to be a special birthday present. They flew in from Ohio just for this event. We talked about it for months.My grandson loves science and the space ships . We even went to the movie ...APPOLO 11 before our trip. We arv. At our hotel the night before so we could start at 9am the next morning. It was a 4 hr. drive from Osprey to the hotel. At 8 PM , We recv. a call from CITY SIGHTSEEING ORLANDO Telling us that we had no tkt’s to get into this event. They said they had a computer glitch. I told the that that was their problem, not mine. I paid $463.96 for my 4 tkt’s mo. ago. I printed my voucher. I told the agent that I was going to go at 9am the next morning and I expected her Mgr to talk to KSC and work to straighten thiS out. I told her that I would go to will call at 9 AM and get my tkt’s. We arv. At will call and could not get our tkt’s. The KSC said you all screwed up and they were full. I had the Mgr at KSC call the Mgr at CSO....Cristine . After an hr at the window, we could not get our tkt’s. We had no lunch with the Astronauts. Terrible experience. We want a full refund, We want our two days of hotel reimbursement. We want their air fair reimbursement. I was so upset when I rcvd that call at 8 PM....I was up all night. I could not change it to 3/4 days later. They were flying back to Ohio. I hv worked , yrs ago, for United airlines. This was the most unprofessional experience I hv had and I Am 70 yrs old. I will be posting this msg all over Facebook if I don’t hear from you ASAP. I will also call the better business association. Every one must know about your company. We live an an exclusive area in Florida called THE OAKS CLUB. I will post this on our club news board. SHAME ON YOU AND CSO. MONIQUE PLOCIAK 216-695-8688

  We went on a very chilly, windy day and that hampered our experience. We did like most of the indoor activities I think we were there about 3 hours total

  We went here half way through a fortnight in Orlando. It is quite a hike out to Kennedy, but there is nowhere else you can get to see this stuff. Even if you and your kids aren’t into science and space, it is really impressive to see the sheer scale of the rockets and to try and get an appreciation of how hard this stuff is to achieve. BUT..... It is almost impossible to get here without driving, so why charge an additional $10 for parking? Also, the place seems to have become much more popular since my first visit 10 years ago. This is great unless you are sat near a family who just don’t stop talking through films, explanations.... just everything. A loud SHHHH seems to help, but only temporarily. It would be great if the Space Centre staff would help in this for the enjoyment of those who truly appreciate what you are doing. Regardless of my moan, we are bound to go back when we are next in this part of Florida.

  We arrived as the Visitors Center was opening, and purchased the standard bus tour of the Kennedy Space Center. We started at the Rocket Park, guided tour, and then ventured out to other venues. The bus tour was wonderful. You pass the Vehicle Assembly Building, and go by Launch Pads 39B and 39A. Other buildings and storage areas are seen too. The VAB was open at one door and we saw the new launch structure for the new Space Launch System. 39B was being modified for launching a SpaceX rocket. We were dropped at the Saturn V/Apollo Center. There we saw the Launch Control Room, Apollo 8 capsule, full-sized Saturn V, lunar theater, and saw numerous other things. We took the bus back to the Visitors Center and had lunch at Orbit Cafe. We then saw two IMAX movies, Astronaut Encounter, ISS show and ended at the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit. This was spectacular. Only downside was being bombarded with NASA's propaganda promoting its views on global warming. The bus driver and several films promoted this view which didn't need to be part of the space program.
