Important Information:

  • Advanced reservations are recommended for this popular tour.
  • Please arrive at bus embarkation about 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time.
  • It is not necessary to take the Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour in addition to the KSC Explore Tour. Both tours end up at the Apollo/Saturn V Center. Explore on your own before taking any visitor complex tour bus back to the main visitor complex. We recommend allotting about an additional hour for the Apollo/Saturn V Center and about 15 minutes for the return journey.
  • If you purchase another timed experience (like Chat with an Astronaut), please be aware that timing may overlap.

*Tour availability and routes may be altered at any time with or without any notice due to operational requirements. Safety protocols require an alternate tour bus route during launch days.
