Arrival Information

Plan to arrive early! The visitor complex opens at 9:00 AM. Kennedy Space Center experiences increased traffic on launch days, and there is construction on SR 405/NASA Causeway and SR 3/Courtenay Parkway resulting in lower speed limits and lane closures. Allow extra time for single-lane roads leading up to the visitor complex.

The Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour will resume about 30 minutes after the launch for all guests who did not go to the Banana Creek viewing location for the launch.
