Make your visit to Kennedy Space Center even more memorable with the opportunity to meet a veteran NASA astronaut. This special day trip includes round-trip transportation from Orlando, general admission to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and the enhanced Chat With An Astronaut experience.

During the journey from Orlando, your Gray Line Orlando guide will share fascinating information about Kennedy Space Center, along with helpful tips and recommendations to help you make the most of your day. Upon arrival, your guide will provide your admission ticket, confirm the scheduled time and arrangements for your astronaut experience and advise you of the meeting details for the return journey.

Once inside Kennedy Space Center, you can explore the exhibits and attractions at your own pace and in the order you choose, while allowing sufficient time to arrive for your scheduled Chat With An Astronaut experience.

During Chat With An Astronaut, join a veteran NASA astronaut in a relaxed, small-group setting. Hear firsthand stories about space travel, astronaut training and life beyond Earth before taking part in a live question-and-answer session. Light food and a beverage are included, and each guest will receive a commemorative portrait signed by the astronaut as a special keepsake.

Elsewhere in the visitor complex, one of the day’s highlights is the Kennedy Space Center Bus, which takes you beyond the main visitor area and into sections of NASA’s working spaceflight facility that are not accessible on foot. Along the way, you’ll stop at the LC-39 Observation Gantry for impressive views of the historic launch pads and surrounding spaceport. The journey then continues to the Apollo/Saturn V Center, where you can walk beneath the enormous Saturn V rocket and relive the excitement of the Apollo Moon missions.

At Space Shuttle Atlantis®, come nose-to-nose with the legendary spacecraft, displayed with its payload bay doors open as though it were orbiting Earth. More than 60 interactive exhibits and simulators bring NASA’s 30-year Space Shuttle Program to life. Practice docking with the International Space Station, explore a replica of the ISS, take the controls in a shuttle cockpit and experience the sights, sounds and sensations of liftoff aboard the Shuttle Launch Experience®.

Continue to Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex®, where the focus turns to the future of space travel. Discover groundbreaking spacecraft and innovations from NASA and its commercial partners before boarding Spaceport KSC for an immersive journey to a distant destination.

You can also explore the Rocket Garden, enjoy spectacular space films and visit Journey to Mars. Attraction availability, presentation schedules and the featured astronaut are subject to change, so be sure to check the daily schedule when you arrive.

At the end of your visit, meet your Gray Line Orlando guide at the designated time and location for transportation back to Orlando.
