15 Best Things to Do in Orlando

"The Kennedy Space Center was most famously the launch pad for the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969. Today the complex welcomes around 1.5 million visitors a year, and encompasses more than 130 square miles. One of the main draws here is the actual space shuttle, the Atlantis orbiter, which goes hand-in-hand with the Shuttle Launch Experience, an immersive simulator. It’s a comprehensive space experience, with real-life artifacts and spacecraft mixed in with impressive multimedia presentations." - Paul Oswell

Made a costly wrong turn but finally made it to Kennedy Space Center. It feels too much like Disney World but then once you’re next to these rockets and spaceships you can’t help but really be in awe, Disney and all.

The experience at John F. Kennedy Space Center from my point of view was amazing. I have spent about 8 hours there and loved every part of it. I've really liked the tours on buses, seeing all the spaceships, eating food etc. Every part of this place was really interesting and the staff were great. I would really highly recommend going to this place, it's so fun!

I went back in November, and it was astronomical. I had a fun time learning about the history of space. The simulations were really cool as well (though some of them you had to wait awhile). You could definitely spend multiple days here. I only spent one, but I did stay an additional night to see a shuttle fly off from our hotel. Keep in mind that the space shuttle blast offs (or whatever they are called) are highly unpredictable. The blast off canceled the first night, so we stayed a second night, and it got delayed but went off. That was really the icing on the cake for me with this trip. Everything else was great with learning about history, watching the space history videos, seeing the spaceships and gear, and riding simulations. And you really can not beat getting in for free as a teacher. It was such a unique trip that was out of this world.

John F. Kennedy Space Center is a great education attraction located on an active space port. It's a great place for children of all ages to learn about the past, present and future of space exploration. There are many different areas that focus on different eras of the space program. You can see decommissioned space crafts. The interactive activities are well designed and give you a glimpse of astronaut experience. A highlight was a question and answer session with a retired astronaut Steve Smith, he was motivation with a touch of humour. Would highly recommend as a family activity.

The John F. Kennedy Space Center is an amazing and educational destination for all ages. Visitors can explore real spacecraft, see the Space Shuttle Atlantis, and experience interactive exhibits about NASA missions. The bus tour to launch sites and the Apollo/Saturn V Center is fascinating. Staff are friendly and informative, and there are plenty of dining and shopping options. Perfect for families, students, and space enthusiasts looking for a hands-on experience of space history.

A few hours is NOT enough time here. The exhibits are impressive and well put together. The staff is friendly. Hop a bus to the satellite locations (pun intended). It appeals to people of all ages. Teachers can obtain an educator study pass for complimentary admission to the visitor's complex. There is way too much to do in a few hours. Plan for an entire day or more.

Listen, I know this is sacrilegious to admit....but I'm not that "in" to space. ,😅 however, this place was amazing. You could honestly spend a couple days here going over everything. I wouldn't but aero people easily could. My husband and kid absolutely love aviation and aeronautics so they were in heaven. Plenty of things to do and see! No upgrades needed really. There is a half hour wait currently for the rocket launch experience which is included in your ticket. I'm sure my husband and son will love it! Really really cool stuff everywhere and they do a good job of building hype before the "big things to see. They are also efficient with the buses and keep the traffic moving. It's honestly similar to Disney efficiency which is much appreciated on a hot July day!

My fiancée, myself and some family went here for an afternoon trip and it was a great experience. A must go-to place to visit if you are into anything space related or history related (or really just need someplace cool to go to). Great for adults and kids.

I’d say the experience was fine, but not necessarily a must-do unless you’re really passionate about space or have kids who would enjoy it. The exhibits are fairly basic, and tickets plus the $15 parking fee make it a bit expensive for what you get. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the place wasn’t anywhere near as crowded as big attractions like Universal Studios, which made it more relaxing to walk around. Overall, it was an okay visit, worth it if you’re a space enthusiast, but probably not something I’d recommend for everyone.
