Itinerary
After leaving Central Florida your Gray Line tour guide will give you lots of hints and tips to ensure you make the best use of you time at the visitor center. They will accompany you inside and ensure your day is planned so you can explore independently the space center!
At the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex you will learn everything about space travel.
Enjoy the Shuttle Launch Experience. It replicates the sights, sounds and feelings of a shuttle launch, an incredible journey of launching into space and orbiting Earth aboard a Space Shuttle. Guest crew members strap in and go vertical for launch in a one-of-a-kind, motion-based simulator, the only realistic simulation of a launch ever created. The 5-minute experience sequence culminates with a breath-taking view of the Earth.
Within the facility you can also join the narrated NASA bus tour. At the Apollo Saturn V Center , you will find yourself standing inside the launch control room and then looking at an actual Saturn V rocket - the largest rocket ever to fly! After the bus tour, sit back and enjoy an IMAX movie.
Why not choose to stroll by a scale-size space shuttle, look at a moon rock or try space ice cream? This is a day of fun for the whole family!
The tour also includes a 30-minute airboat ride to discover the beauty of the swamps. Look for exotic plants, flowers and wildlife such as the main inhabitant of the swamp.... the alligator! We transport you from the space center over to the St. Johns River where you will board the airboat for 30 minutes of high speed adventures gliding across the waters.
From nature to space, this tour offers something for everyone.
