For 60 years, Kennedy Space Center has played a critical role in our nation's space program. On July 1^st and 2^nd, help us celebrate this Diamond Anniversary with family-friendly activities and special presentations to honor the incredible moments that helped define these last 60 years at Kennedy Space Center.

With our resident DJ spinning tunes from the 1960s to today, and fun activities and prizes planned throughout the day, there is something exciting for all ages. A comedy act will perform each day at 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, 3:00 PM, and 4:00 PM and audience participation is sure to bring laughs. Plus, catch one of the special presentations of "Kennedy Space Center: A History" daily at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM inside Journey to Mars. There, you will learn about not only the beginnings of this iconic spaceport, but where we are headed next.

A signature pin will be available for those who join in on the celebrations, while supplies last. The Kennedy Space Center Diamond Anniversary Celebration is included with daily admission.
