Launch Viewing Opportunities

Apollo / Saturn V Premium Launch Transportation Ticket

  • $75
Enhance your rocket launch experience with the Apollo/Saturn V Center Premium Launch Transportation Ticket. Enjoy outdoor seating, expert commentary, and an exciting view of the launch from across Banana Creek.
Witness Liftoff!
The launch transportation ticket is mission-specific, not date/time specific. Launch Transportation Tickets are non-transferrable to another mission.
  • If you are holding a Launch Transportation Ticket (LTT) and the launch is postponed before you board a bus, your LTT will be valid for the next attempt to view the launch from your launch viewing site, or you may request a refund for the unused LTT*.
  • If the launch is postponed after you have boarded the bus to either LC-39 Observation Gantry or the Apollo/Saturn V Center, all elements of the LTT are considered used in full. You will receive a 20% coupon for use at one of our on-site retail shops. You will also receive a voucher to be exchanged for a visitor complex 1-day admission ticket valid for the date of the next launch attempt. You can view the launch from the main visitor complex viewing area using this admission ticket.
  * Refunds may ONLY be requested if the visitor complex did not provide launch transportation. If launch transportation occurred, but you missed the bus or chose not to be transported, the LTT is no longer refundable.     The purchaser understands that launches may occur at any date/time or can be delayed/scrubbed with little notice due to weather or technical issues. If your travel plans are not flexible, carefully consider this scrub policy before purchase. The visitor complex is not responsible for the launch schedule.
