Guided Tours
Short of becoming an astronaut, there’s no better way to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Kennedy Space Center than on the Kennedy Space Center Tour (KSC Tour). Take a NASA bus for a panoramic view of space shuttle launch pads at the LC-39 Observation Gantry, see International Space Station modules being prepared for space flight, experience the historic Apollo 8 launch and then marvel at a massive 363-foot-long Saturn V moon rocket at the Apollo/Saturn V Center. The KSC Tour is included with admission and departs every 15 minutes from the Visitor Complex.
Special interest tours are also available, taking you deeper into the operations of Kennedy Space Center. These guided tours are led by trained space experts.
