Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex

About

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on Merritt Island, Florida is NASA's flagship public attraction and the only place in the world where you can tour a working launch facility and come face-to-face with actual spacecraft. Highlights include the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit — where the orbiter hangs dramatically overhead — the Shuttle Launch Experience simulator, the Apollo/Saturn V Center with its awe-inspiring moon rocket, and the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame. Visitors can meet real astronauts, watch live rocket launches from the grounds, take a Behind the Gates bus tour, and explore Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex. Open daily 09:00–17:00.
