Attraction Information
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
Visitors to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex at Cape Canaveral in Florida find a mix of space-age technology and nature. The attraction is primarily known as the home of the Space Shuttle, where spectacular launches can be viewed from a safe distance. The centre has been pioneering space exploration since the success of the Apollo lunar programme in the late 1960s. Visitors can also tour the Apollo/Saturn Visitor Center to see an actual Saturn V moon rocket, which stands a staggering 111m (363ft) high, and experience Astronout Encounter, an interactive show hosted by real astronauts. Other facilities include a Rocket Garden and an IMAX cinema. The Kennedy Space Center’s location on Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, home to bald eagles, alligators, otters and sea turtles, means that visitors can also enjoy wildlife walks or drives and learn about the animals that inhabit the area.
