Take to the stars and walk in the footprints of some of the world’s best astronauts, discovering all you care to know about the fascinating and exciting world of space travel.
So, what exactly is there to do at Kennedy Space Center? And why should it be included in your next Florida trip? Let’s take a closer look at just some of the highlights here…
10. The Rocket Garden
Walk among giants at The Rocket Garden at Kennedy Space Center, and explore this recognisable piece of history. You will be perusing among authentic machines that helped pioneer America’s space exploration, discovering more about these real rockets’ notable missions and programmes.
9. NASA Now
Venture into NASA Now, a gallery inside IMAX Theater, to learn more about one of the largest collections of space-flown vehicles in the United States. You’ll see spacecraft created for NASA’s previous missions, as well as NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) , the future transportation for deep space exploration.
8. Heroes & Legends featuring the Astronaut Hall of Fame®
Using a mix of 4D multisensory theatre and actual artifacts, this fantastic exhibit takes guests on a journey designed to ignite thought about our astronaut heroes. See a Redstone rocket suspended overhead along with the Sigma 7 capsule and a unique close-up look at the Gemini 9 capsule.
7. Universe Theater and Astronaut Encounter
Here’s your chance to meet a real-life astronaut and ask all those burning questions about space travel and more! During this experience, commanders, pilots, mission and payload specialists who have lived and worked in space will share their fascinating experiences, during the live Universe Theater presentation.
6. Journey to Mars
The Red Planet is a fascinating place to explore, and now you can learn more about NASA’s plans to venture across Mars and the rest of deep space during this multimedia exhibit and live presentation. You’ll then be able to test your deep space savvy via interactive games and simulators, while exploring replicas of Mars rovers.
5. Dine with an Astronaut
Have lunch with an astronaut, enjoying a chef-prepared buffet while you journey through common astronaut traditions, including training in the T-38 jet, visiting the Astronaut Beach House and staying in the crew quarters before launch.
4. KSC Bus Tours and Special Interest Tours
Gain access to restricted areas of Kennedy Space Center, when you take part in one of the KSC tours. Pick from the Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour (included in your admission), and see historic launch sites and working space flight facilities, or go further into space exploration with a Special Interest Tour. These go beyond the bus tour and offers exclusive stops within America’s Spaceport. Choose from the Kennedy Space Center Explore Tour and capture unique photo opportunities, and the Launch Director Tour of Space Shuttle Atlantis where you’ll meet Mike Leinbach, the person who gave the final ‘go’ for the launch of 37 space shuttle missions.
3. Apollo/Saturn V Center featuring the Apollo-Saturn V rocket.
Learn more about the race to the moon in the Apollo/Saturn V Center, which pays homage to the people and machines that helped make the improbable possible. You can stand under Saturn V, the largest rocket ever flown, and relive the excitement of the Apollo era.
2. Space Shuttle Atlantis up close
This full-scale space shuttle stack of two huge solid rocket boosters and external tank is a sight you definitely won’t want to miss during your visit to Kennedy Space Center. The Space Shuttle Atlantis is a magnificent exhibition, and is displayed only as astronauts have seen her in space.
1. Watch a Live Rocket Launch in 2021 as man returns to Space from Kennedy Space Center
Did you know that you can actually watch a rocket launch from the Kennedy Space Center? Take part in the countdown to liftoff, and marvel as the rocket soars overhead taking to the stars above. Seeing this spectacular sight is something that you won’t soon forget, and the thrill of seeing one of these huge vehicles surge into the Earth’s orbit is awe-inspiring.

1. Make the most of waking up early on your first days
We found that the time difference meant that waking up early was much easier at the beginning of the trip when we were still running on UK body clocks. Waking up at 6am still felt like 10am for a couple of days, so this was a great time to book in a couple of early breakfasts, make the effort to go to the early opening hours of the parks, and do the whole ‘rope drop’ thing before you start getting really tired again.
2. Have a vague plan in advance
Even if you’re spontaneous, chilled holidayers like us who don’t like a lot of structure, this is a different kind of holiday, and you kind of have to play the game a little bit along with the most organized of bookers. Because of 60 day fastpass, 180 day restaurant booking systems that some parks have in operation, you don’t stand a great chance at getting to do the things you want to do and you’ll miss out on some really amazing things if not.
3. Book theme park tickets before you go
Again, even if you’re not typically really organized with your holidays, you definitely will not regret buying your theme park tickets with AttractionTickets.com before you jet off. Not only are they much, much cheaper to buy in advance, which makes it instantly worthwhile anyway, but it also means that you’ll avoid big queues on the day which can get really long and take up so much valuable theme park time.
4. Extra luggage space for outlets
Only really applies if you’re planning to visit any of the awesome Florida outlet malls during your trip, but we were really amazed by how great they were. We visited two during our holiday and said each time that we really regretted not giving ourselves a bit more luggage space to play with so that we could have done a bit more shopping.
5. Get to know the apps available to you
Florida theme parks each have amazing apps that you can really use to your advantage, so take some time before you go, even if it’s just 20 minutes or so, to familiarize yourself with them so you’re not stood in the middle of Main Street trying to figure out how to use maps and fast pass systems.
6. Stay on site
If you’re still weighing up the decision of whether to book a separate hotel or villa for your trip, or whether to stay on site at the theme parks, I’d fully encourage you to stay on site. The perks that come with it are absolute gold dust. It means you can get early admission to the parks, transportation to different parks, the best fastness reservations, dining plans.
7. Book through an expert, secure company like AT.com
If you’re a complete Florida beginner like Adam and I were, it’s so helpful to make your booking through a company that really knows every single detail you could ever need to do. Doing ours through AT.com meant that we found out everything we needed to know because they’re such experts. They provide guides on their website to loads of Florida questions and queries, they send info out with their ticket packages.
8. Don’t underestimate the weather or the walking
Everyone tells you before you go that a Florida holiday is intense, but you sort of just assume that people are either being dramatic, or they’re the type of people that want to do EVERYTHING. But no, trust me, your Florida theme park holiday will be exhausting. We waked at least 25,000 steps every day of our trip, so opt for the comfiest shoes that you possibly can. Don't risk new flip flops, cute new trainers, just wear your trustiest pair. And as well as that, it is HOT. It’s impossible as a Brit to be fully prepared for the heat, even in October it was crazy, so make sure you bring the essential trio.
9. Don’t go too crazy with restaurant reservations
Before we went, I kind of thought that we’d have to have dinner booked every night of our trip, maybe a breakfast booked every day, and a plan for lunch every day, but that’s absolutely not the case at all. Obviously the busiest and most popular restaurants will be worth booking in advance, any that you’ve really got your heart set on, but in the end I’m so glad that we didn’t do too many.
10. Don’t try and do everything
Kind of a similar idea, but I think it’s really important to remind yourself that as much as you might want to, it’s just not possible to do everything during one holiday. Honestly, when you’ve never been to Florida or the theme parks before, it’s completely overwhelming and I totally understand why you might plan your trip hour by hour to try and squeeze everything in, but it’s just not possible.
Bonus 11 - Take ID everywhere you go if you think you might want a drink
It’s not like the UK with the whole ‘looking over 21/over 25’ thing. If you look under 30 then they’ll want to see your ID and they’re really strict with it.
