Kennedy Space Center Tours
Short of becoming an astronaut, there’s no better way to get a glimpse of Kennedy Space Center than on the Kennedy Space Center Tour (KSC Tour). Take a NASA bus for a panoramic view of space shuttle launch pads at the LC-39 Observation Gantry, and then experience the historic Apollo 8 launch and marvel at a massive 363-foot-long Saturn V moon rocket at the Apollo/Saturn V Center.
The KSC Tour is included with admission and departs every 15 minutes from the Visitor Complex. The tour is self-guided, allowing guests to get off the bus and spend as much time as desired at each location.
Price: Included with Admission
Guided Tours
Kennedy Space Center guided tours are also available for those with special interests - and allow you to take a deeper look at specific aspects of Kennedy Space Center. Guided tours are led by trained space experts - and sell out daily. Reservations are strongly suggested. Reserve online or call (866) 737-5235.
If you plan on purchasing both guided tours, we strongly suggest to upgrade to an annual pass and plan for a two-day visit. Due to time constraints, both tours cannot be taken in the same day.
