I have to tell you, it was absolutely amazing. I didn't have to wait at all; I walked right through the entrance without any issues with the tickets. Plus, the park is just as extraordinary as the others I've visited, like SeaWorld, and I bought these tickets through the same app as well...

The KSC was a place Ive looked forward to visiting for 40+ years. It did not disappoint. Plenty to explore for all ages it was an emotional rollercoaster through the highs and lows of Nasa sprinled with an inspiring and exciting peak into the future with Artemis2. Can not recommend enough for any other space cadets out there.

The small group experience was amazing. Hazle free pick up and drop off to your hotel. It was a great guide on the way. The explorer tour was worth and additional there was a rocket launch. Highly recommended.

Seeing the actual rockets and participating in simulators was surreal. I am a chemistry teacher and my husband is a physicist, so we are fascinated by space. Having the opportunity to talk to an astronaut and see Arthenis II up close was fantastic.

My kids and I found the tour to be lots of fun having our own bus driver and tour guide. It was very informative. We got to see tge Artimus 2 Rocket up close from different angles along with touring the Gantry where the kids could enjoy putting together rockets and sending them off to space (digital). We were also able to see all of the launching pads from the Gantry. We saw the Crawler up close which was pretty cool. Lastly we were taken to the Apollo/Saturn V Center which was incredible. Defenitely worth the experience.

The drive by the vehicle assembly building was really cool. The building size was much more than I anticipated. It was only a few days away from the Artemis Ii rollout. We then learned that a Falcon rocket was taking off so came back next day and watched the take off and booster landing.
