Kennedy Space Center Day Trip

Your Kennedy Space Center tour begins after an approximate 45-minute drive from Orlando. From the Visitor Complex, view rockets from all eras of space exploration in the Rocket Garden, and see an actual Gemini program capsule on display in Early Space Exploration. Then, walk beneath a massive Saturn V rocket at the Apollo/Saturn V Center, where you can relive Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon and experience the thunderous rumble of a Saturn V moon rocket lift-off!

Continue with two IMAX space movies viewed on five-story screens - Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D and Space Station 3D, which takes you on a virtual trip to the International Space Station. Enjoy other Kennedy Space Center shows and exhibits including a chance to meet an astronaut at the Astronaut Encounter Show.

Board a full-size Space Shuttle mock-up and strap in for a virtual launch into space on the Shuttle Launch Experience. Orbit the earth in this awesome simulation, replicating the sights, sounds and feelings of an authentic shuttle launch.

Finish your day with a visit to the US Astronaut Hall of Fame (closed on Thursdays), featuring the world's largest collection of personal astronaut mementos, historic spacecraft and hands-on activities. Sit in a mission control console, take a virtual moonwalk, feel the pull of 4Gs in the G-Force Simulator and land the Space Shuttle.

Also, don't miss the brand-new Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, showcasing the legendary spacecraft, Atlantis. More than 60 interactive experiences highlight the people, passion and patriotism behind NASA's program that launched the Hubble Space Telescope and built the International Space Station, plus you can see what it's like to be a real astronaut! Take the helm at the shuttle cockpit; experience the sensation of floating in space; explore a replica of the ISS; and strap in to the sights, sounds and sensations of a shuttle launch!
