Space Pass allows you all-access to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Included are Admission, Lunch with an Astronaut and our guided NASA Up Close tour. Guests are able to enjoy each of these elements in one day or spread their visit over two consecutive days. Full descriptions of each follow:
Admission This day at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex includes the KSC Tour of NASA’s Launch Headquarters, both IMAX films, all shows and exhibits and a visit to the Astronaut Hall of Fame. The tour includes stops at the four story LC-39 observation gantry where guests get a bird’s eye view of the space shuttle launch pads and parts of the world’s busiest space launch facility. The second tour stop is the acclaimed Apollo/Saturn V Center, where guests walk beneath a massive Saturn V rocket, relive Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon and experience the thunderous rumble of a Saturn V moon rocket lift off. Later, guests can take a trip to the International Space Station Center where they’ll see real parts of the space station being readied for Launch! Their day continues with IMAX® movie screenings of the new “Magnificent Desolation” where they explore the moon in full 3-D, and “Space Station 3-D,” which takes them on a virtual trip to the International Space Station in a fully immersive big-screen environment. Guests also enjoy the many other shows and exhibits at the Visitor Complex including a chance to meet a real astronaut at the Astronaut Encounter Show and enjoy the zany live-action show “Mad Mission to Mars 2025.” The day is topped off with a visit to the Astronaut Hall of Fame, located at the entrance to Kennedy Space Center and a short 5-minute drive from the Visitor Complex. This attraction features the world’s largest collection of personal astronaut mementos, plus historic spacecraft, one-of-a-kind space legacies and hands on activities. Guests can sit in a mission control console, take a virtual moonwalk, feel the pull of 4 Gs in the G-Force Simulator and land the Space Shuttle. Opened in May of 2007 and included with Admission is the new Shuttle Launch Experience. Shuttle Launch Experience replicates the sights, sounds and feelings of a shuttle launch, an incredible journey of launching into space and orbiting Earth aboard a Space Shuttle. Guest crewmembers strap in and go vertical for launch in a one-of-a-kind motion-based simulator, the only realistic simulation of a launch ever created. The five-minute experience sequence culminates with a breath-taking view of Earth from space. Lunch with an Astronaut This meal opportunity, currently offered every day of the week at 12:15 p.m. at the Visitor Complex, includes a banquet-style lunch with a speaking appearance by a real Astronaut hero. The popular program incorporates a fun video of Astronauts living and working in space, a brief oration on his/her thoughts and individual time with each family for Q&A and photos. The meal is topped off by a wonderful selection of desserts. Guests even receive an autographed souvenir to take home. NASA Up Close Tour Led by a trained space expert, this tour gives visitors an insider’s view of the space program from launch preparation to liftoff. The tour includes up-close views of Space Shuttle launch pads, the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), massive Crawler-Transporters, which move the Shuttle from the VAB to its launch pad, and Shuttle Landing Facility. The tour stops in between the Shuttle launch pads for a close-up photo opportunity and the NASA Causeway where guests are surrounded by myriad rocket launch pads, offering a view of the solid rocket booster recovery ships and native wildlife.
