No vacation to Orlando, Florida would be complete without a visit to the famous Kennedy Space Center. This one-of-a-kind experience is something truly unique and the sights and sounds of the Space Center will not be soon forgotten.

The Kennedy Space Center is only forty-five minutes from the city of Orlando and is situated on a large wildlife island refuge that is nearly 8 times larger than the island of Manhattan.

This world famous center can easily be called the hub of discovery and technology. Millions of people from all over the globe come to the Kennedy Space Center each year. The center is the birthplace of some of the world’s most advanced scientific accomplishments. Visitors will be awed by some of the breathtaking exhibits of rockets and other space related items. In addition, visitors can tour the landing and launch sites; there are simulators and live shows as well as a visit with a real astronaut. Adults will enjoy the experience; children will be thrilled with their visit to this massive complex and will be talking about it for months to come. The Kennedy Space Center is a lifetime experience.

One of the best ways to visit the site is to use the Go Orlando Card which includes a free tour of Kennedy Space Center, free admission to the IMAX show; it also includes all of the exhibits and shows. Plus you get to visit the Astronaut Hall of Fame as well as the interactive space simulators.

And there is more, too. Admission to the center also includes the New Shuttle Launch Experience. This is perhaps the most realistic Space Shuttle launch simulator ever created.

When visiting or vacationing in Orlando, make a day trip to the Kennedy Space Center and see cutting edge technology that is headed for the stars.
