This unique projection mapping show will take you on a breathtaking six-minute-long journey through the stars, Earth and beyond. You might recognize familiar places throughout the journey - including the Vehicle Assembly Building, the Artemis Moon rocket, the International Space Station, the James Webb Telescope and more. You can catch it nightly throughout Holidays in Space.

Holidays in Space gives you and your future explorers the perfect mix of education, fun, and holiday cheer too. And it all starts the minute you arrive at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

Before you arrive at the front gate, you can spot the NASA meatball turned holiday ornament - a fan favorite!

As you make your way through the entrance, you will look in wonder at festive holiday décor that has taken over the visitor complex. New décor includes - a fifty-foot tree illuminating the Rocket Garden and Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex® with more than 61,000 pixels of light, six-foot-tall astronaut nutcrackers and more.
