About this experience

You’ll be over the moon for this awesome look into the science and history of the Space Program. See how it feels to take off in a space shuttle by watching the 3D IMAX movie or riding the Shuttle Launch experience simulator. Have an encounter with an astronaut, touch a moon rock, see Space Shuttle Atlantis up-close and much, much more! With our express option, you will meet the bus at our final meeting point and avoid the extra time on the bus in the morning.

During the ride to the complex our knowledgable tour guides will give you all the needed information to ensure you are set up to enjoy a great day at the facility. Our guides are experts on the complex and can speak to you individually to make sure you visit the attractions you wish to see. There is so much to do during the day at the space center, but don't forget to hit up the worlds largest space store for your souvenirs before you board the bus back to Central Florida in the late afternoon!
