Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Space Commerce Way, Merritt Island, FL 32899
Welcome to the home of One Small Step for Man. In simple terms, this is one of the most essential – and thrilling – attractions in Florida, and it is as real as it comes in terms of a dynamic, visceral place to visit.
Not only does the Space Center offer the past, present and future of the space program, it puts visitors front and center in the whole experience like never before. Seeing is believing, and you will believe you have been transported to the cutting edge of space exploration through a series of hands-on exhibits, movies, and presentations, including a daily Astronaut Encounter with one of the modern heroes of NASA’s operations.
Upon arrival your licensed and certified guide will take you on a 1 hour walking tour of the Visitors Complex. Listen as they share fun facts and the rich history that has made KSC and Cape Canaveral what it is today. They’ll also give you insider tips and the best way to circumnavigate the park for the rest of the day.
Duration: 8 hours
Stop At: Apollo / Saturn V Center, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899, USA
Then it’s off to the signature Bus Tour that provides a complete overview of the full extent of the vast spread of operations, including the massive Vehicle Assembly Building, Launch Complex 39B, and the Apollo/Saturn V Center, with its recreated moon landing and awesome full-size Saturn V rocket.
