Arrive early like 8:45am. Do the bus tour first as the line can be long. Wear comfortable shoes for 2 miles or up to 7 miles of walking available. Sunscreen, sunglasses, rain coat for rainy days.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The "Early Space Flight" tour is a great add-on.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

We went the week of Christmas. It was beyond packed. From a parking and traffic flow standpoint, they didn't seem prepared. I would avoid holiday week in the future.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

We didn't go this time but memories of a prior visit allow us to highly recommend spending time at the Space Center.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Give yourself more than one day for this visit. When you enter into the complex you don't realize there is so much more just around the corner. Absolutely take the tour bus. It was all fantastic and we'll be back next time for two days to explore everything.

5/5 - Excellent
