Kennedy Space Center Florida Admission Tickets
Your Kennedy Space Center tickets provide access to NASA's legendary launch headquarters on Florida's Space Coast. This active spaceport has launched every U.S. human spaceflight since 1968, including all Apollo moon missions and Space Shuttle flights. The Visitor Complex houses authentic spacecraft, interactive exhibits and behind-the-scenes access to areas where rockets still launch today.
The centerpiece attraction is Space Shuttle Atlantis, displayed at a 43.21 degree angle with payload bay doors open, exactly as it appeared in orbit. This orbiter flew 33 missions over 26 years, travelling 125,935,769 miles. Your admission includes the Shuttle Launch Experience simulator that recreates the sights, sounds and sensations of launching into space.
The included bus tour takes you to the Apollo/Saturn V Center where a complete Saturn V rocket hangs overhead. At 363 feet long, Saturn V remains the largest and most powerful rocket ever flown successfully. You'll see the Apollo 14 command module, a lunar module, moon rocks you can touch, and experience the Firing Room Theater recreating the Apollo 8 launch countdown.
