Festive space adventures at Kennedy Space Center
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Is inviting guests to treat loved with an out of this world holiday experience.
This festive season, give the gift of space in the form of a special experience.
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex has a stellar line-up of curated programs.
Guests will be inspired by interactions with real astronauts, or take part in a private tour led by a veteran NASA astronaut.
Learn to train like today’s space explorers or hear the tales of an astronaut’s personal space adventures.
Fly With An Astronaut tours are be on sale for experiences beginning January 13, 2023.
This veteran-astronaut-guided tour takes guests behind NASA’s gates including stops at the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), LC-39 and a drive by Crew Quarters before returning to Space Shuttle Atlantis.
The half-day experience gives visitors ample time to ask questions and hear space stories from their guide. Fly with an Astronaut includes lunch, a commemorative pin and an autographed photo of the guests with their astronaut guide, and can be booked here.
The Astronaut Training Experience (ATX) brings guests as close to training and working on the Red Planet as possible, without leaving Earth. The four- to five-hour program, or specific training stages like the microgravity simulation, are available with varying start times. ATX is available for guests ages 10 and older, and can be booked here.
Chat with an Astronaut is another opportunity for guests to interact with an astronaut. During the program, the Astronaut of the Day answers attendees’ questions while the group enjoys a light breakfast or hors d’oeuvres. Offered twice a day, Chat With An Astronaut can be booked here.
For a gift that keeps on giving, an Atlantis Annual Pass or Cosmic Club Family Annual Pass provides unlimited admission for the year (and unlimited chances to meet an astronaut), in addition to free parking and other perks. More information can be found here.
