Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Space Commerce Way, Merritt Island, FL 32899

Be a part of history in the making as you explore the ins and outs of Kennedy Space Center on this out-of-this-world day tour. You’ll have access to restricted areas, walk under the massive Saturn V rocket, and even meet and greet an astronaut from the Space Program!

By riding the Gray Line Orlando bus, you will receive an exclusive welcome from an astronaut upon arrival at Kennedy Space Center. Only Gray Line guests have this meet and greet option, and it is an excellent added benefit. Should the meet and greet not be available, then there would be no refund as there are no surcharges for this great enhancement to your tour day. Currently from summer 2018 the meet and greet usually happens on Wednesday & Saturday mornings due to the astronaut's schedule. On all days the astronaut is not available we will substitute with a walk through tour of the Space Shuttle Atlantis facility.

One of the many highlights of your day will be the Shuttle Launch Experience, a space simulator that gives you a taste of what the astronauts feel when they lift off. You’ll also be able to view IMAX movies, giving you a 3D look into what it’s like to walk on the moon, and visit the rocket garden for a surreal experience surrounded by giant rocket ‘flowers.’

Give yourself enough time to explore Space Shuttle Atlantis! The world’s most comprehensive attraction devoted to the space shuttle, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex’s Space Shuttle Atlantis brings visitors nose-to-nose with the priceless Atlantis spacecraft as only astronauts have seen it before – with payload bay doors open as if it were floating in space. More than 60 interactive, touch-screen experiences and high-tech simulators invite guests to “be the astronaut,” bringing to life the people, passion and patriotism behind NASA’s 30-year Space Shuttle Program as well as the complexity of the engineering marvel that launched the Hubble Space Telescope and built the International Space Station (ISS). Guests can conduct a virtual EVA or extravehicular activity; practice docking to the ISS; extract cargo from the payload bay; create sonic booms and glide to a landing on the Re-entry Slide; experience the sensation of floating in space; explore a high-fidelity replica of the ISS; virtually mate Atlantis to the external tank; kick up a virtual chemical reaction to launch the shuttle; get an “X-ray view” of Atlantis’ interior; experience an orbital sunrise; strap in to the sights, sounds and sensations of a shuttle launch; take the helm at the shuttle cockpit, and much more.

The Kennedy Space Center Tour is a can’t-miss chance to feel like a real astronaut! With the Kennedy Space Center Express, you will save time in the morning, by bypassing all the pickups and going straight to our final meeting point at the ICON 306 plaza.

Duration: 7 hours 30 minutes

    Booked through Costco and had an excellent trip with Grey Line. We had a snafu with Uber getting to our pick up point but our awesome guide Jason waited for us. Also had issues with location services on our phone to get to the Saturn V rocket, but once again Jason saved the day!! Highly recommend this tour. Of our entire Orlando trip our 8 year old says going to Kennedy was the best part.

    I received a text telling me my tour was booked for tomorrow, but I thought I had booked Thursday. I called Grey Line Tours and Tori answered my call. I explained my mistake and she looked to see if she could change my tour. The day I wanted to go was sold out. Tori told me she would call me if there were my cancellation, that she would know in a couple of hours. And good to her word, I got a phone call saying we were able to change days…not to worry, my trip would happen. She was so kind and reassuring. thnk you so much!

    Our family had the most amazing day at the Kennedy Space Center! The incredible displays, exhibits and interactive experiences far exceeded our expectations. Two weeks after returning home, our family is still talking about how much we loved the time we spent there. Also, I can't rave enough about our Grayline driver, Paul, who drove us to and from KSC . Paul was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the space program and shared with us all kinds of interesting bits of information. His insight and willingness to answer our questions was invaluable. He truly made an incredible day even more special. Thank you so much, Paul!

    Paul is an excellent guide and driver! Met him on a previous tour and was happy to have him for the daytrip to the Kennedy Space Center, again!!! He is fun, knows his places off by hard, has a lot of knowledge and advices very well, how and what to do when. He creates a "family-atmosphere" on board while driving to the venue. We all felt safe and happy like going as friends-not a bunch of strangers! That's priceless! Looking forward to see you on another trip! Send my regards to "Fluffy" ;) YOU can find out, who that is, if you "gator" to Kennedy Space Center!

    We highly recommend this tour to the Space Center. Jason was very knowledgeable and guided us to the best location to start the tour. During the ride to and from he gave us background on the Orlando area. We had a great day at the Space Center especially with superb guidance of Jason. We have been on several Gray Line tours and we are always pleased with the service. Thank you Jason for your great customer service. The Graffs
