The Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour runs regularly throughout the day beginning at 9:30 AM and stops at the Apollo/Saturn V Center. Once you have explored the Apollo/Saturn V Center, you will board a bus to return. Allow two hours.

During the holidays, you can anticipate longer lines at the visitor complex. We move the lines along as quickly as capacities allow. Many of the attractions have pre-shows on a fixed schedule that allow many to enter at a time.

The length of the lines vary throughout the day. For example, Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour traditionally has longer lines in the morning, while Atlantis, which is adjacent to the Bus Tour loading, may have shorter wait times then.

Yes, recent attractions Hyperdeck VR and Blue Origin’s New Shepard simulator, and Spaceport KSC use QR code reservations to secure your spot. Availability is limited daily. Reserve your mission when you first arrive. If you miss your reservation, there may not be another time slot available.

The visitor complex is protected as a federal government facility. You will go through a security screening before entering the complex. Be sure you do not have any forgotten glass juice bottles, pocket knives or pepper spray in your bags or pockets. Learn about all prohibited items here, and be sure to leave them at home.
