Lanzamiento en el Centro Apolo/Saturno V

This prime viewing location, adjacent to the Apollo/Saturn V Center, offers outdoor seating with views of launch pads across Banana Creek. If open during the launch window, the Apollo/Saturn V Center includes Apollo Program exhibits and offers a close-up look at the world’s largest rocket, the Saturn V.

Lanzamiento en The Gantry, en LC-39

Launch viewing has returned to one of the most iconic vantage points on the Space Coast—The Gantry at LC-39. Newly renovated and now open to the public, this historic site offers an incredible public launch viewing experience. With only a limited number of tickets, this is a rare opportunity to witness liftoff from a location steeped in spaceflight history and unmatched in proximity.
