Come join us for an exciting, fun and educational day! Welcome to NASA’s John F. Kennedy Center, our nation’s gateway to exploring, discovering and understanding our Universe! An out-of- this-world experience!

The Space Center opened in 1962 and was named in honor of President Kennedy after his assassination in 1963. Ever since, it has been a world of fun and excitement for all! The Visitors Complex has everything from real-life artifacts to fascinating exhibits to attractions on the history and future of human and robotic spaceflight.

This is so much more than a Museum! More interactive than a museum, more inspirational than a science center, more educational and authentic than a theme park – there is nothing in (or out) of this world quite like it! Kennedy Space Center Complex offers a mix of thrilling simulators, breathtaking attractions, behind-the-scenes tours, interactive exhibits, larger-than-life 3D films, rocket launch viewing opportunities and so much more!

The Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex includes IMAX and all the exhibits and shows.

There is something for everyone! Let you and your family be inspired by some of the greatest advancements of the past, present and future!
