Astronaut Training Experience (ATX) for 2
ATX immerses you in the world of today’s Astronauts – an exciting combination of hands-on training and preparation for the rigors of spaceflight. You’ll hear first-hand from veteran NASA Astronauts as you spend a half-day training like an astronaut, complete with mission simulation and exploration at the busiest launch facility on Earth. Choose from the ATX Core Experience (for ages 14 and older) or ATX Family Experience (for ages 7 and older). NOTE: ATX Experiences are available exclusively on Saturdays (Core) or Sundays (Family) only.

KSC Up Close Tour for 2
Get a guided view of Kennedy Space Center by tour specialists and see the giant structures that make up the world’s largest launch facility. Get an up-close look at the coastal launch pads that unleashed the power to put people on the moon and send space shuttles to the International Space Station. For the first time since 1978, guests at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will have the chance to disembark their tour buses and tour inside the VAB to see firsthand where monstrous vehicles were assembled for launch, from the very first Saturn V rocket in the late 1960s to the very last space shuttle, STS-135 Atlantis, earlier this year. The tour culminates at the Apollo/Saturn V Center, home of the largest rocket ever built – a 363-foot long moon rocket.

Lunch with an Astronaut
Experience the thrill of lunch with an Astronaut. Listen to inspiring space travel stories and ask questions of a NASA space hero. This program features a personalized presentation by a featured astronaut about what it was like to live and work in space. Guests have the opportunity to ask questions and take a photo with the featured astronaut.

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Admission for 2
Tour Kennedy Space Center, view 10-story high rockets from all eras of space exploration in the Rocket Garden, walk through a full-size Space Shuttle mock-up, see IMAX® space films on gigantic five-story screens, and see an actual Gemini program capsule on display in Early Space Exploration.

Included in your admission, is the Shuttle Launch Experience. Guest “crew members” strap in for this all-too-real simulation, which immerses visitors in the sights, sounds and feelings of a Space Shuttle launch, designed under the guidance of NASA and veteran Space Shuttle astronauts.

The Kennedy Space Center is proud to be the new home of the space shuttle Atlantis. A new 90,000 square-foot interactive Atlantis exhibit tells the story of the 30-year Space Shuttle Program and takes a look at what lies ahead in space exploration.
