Kennedy space centre

[sunjue100]

Despite being to Florida many times over the years we’ve never managed to get to Kennedy space centre for one reason or another.

So DH is wanting to tick this one off his bucket list. Just had a look at the tickets and wonder if any of you lovely dibbers can advise .

Would you recommend a ticket with our without the bus tour ?

TIA

Definately with the bus tour.

I’m fairly sure all KSC tickets include the bus tour. It’s pretty much half of the centre and I don’t recall anyone asking for tickets for the busses. If I’m wrong you definitely need tickets with the bus tour

Standard admission includes a bus tour. I can highly recommend you look at the talk schedule for the day. We joined the one for Saturn V and also went to see astronaut Sam Gemar talk, photo opportunity afterwards.
This was included in standard admission.

Definite with the bus tour. We got ours this year from Floridatix, adult tickets for the price of a child.

It was floridatix I was looking at but thought the bus tour was separate

To understand the bus tours better, look at the KSC web site. The Visitor Complex is split into 2 sites - the main site and car park, just outside KSC itself, and the Apollo/Saturn Center (which is 7 miles away inside the secure KSC area, and where all the moon stuff is). There is a free bus tour included with admission to get from one to the other. It is a 'must do'.

Then there are 3 other different bus tours you pay extra for which basically go on a longer route round various KSC facilities first, but end up at the Apollo/Saturn Center. Save those for your 2nd, 3rd and 4th visits!

Definately part of the normal ticket and well worth doing. Amazing place and the shuttle exhibition brought tears when they opened the doors.

If your husband is into 'Space' it's worth considering the 'Explore' tour for a more up close look at things.

IIRC you can pay extra for a more in-depth bus tour. the tour that comes as standard basically takes you between the two main sites, whereas the additional tour covers some extra areas.

it isnt necessary to get the extra tour, but i think if i went again, i would do it.

we went for to KSC the first time the other year, after having been to orlando around 10 times before. wish i'd gone sooner! will definitely be going back

(same for busch gardens, really enjoyed it, so will definitely be going back)
