💙 We spent Father's Day at Kennedy Space Center and had a great experience from start to finish! There was so much history to explore, especially during the two bus tours. Seeing Space Shuttle Atlantis up close was incredibly cool, and walking among the rockets from different eras really puts into perspective how far space exploration has come. The Hall of Heroes was also awesome and a great tribute to those who have made history. The only downsides were the Florida weather and some of the wait times for the buses. However, our driver, Gus, was outstanding! He was punctual, informative, and made the trips to and from the attractions enjoyable. 👏 Overall, we had a fantastic day and created some great Father's Day memories. I would definitely recommend visiting Kennedy Space Center to anyone interested in history, science, and space exploration. 🚀🌎⭐

We visited Kennedy Space Center on Tuesday at January, 20,2026 . Mark Smith was our tour guide. He is a talented and intelligent person! His knowledge of the Space is unbelievable . He has a great way with words and he is extremely charismatic. One of our best memories in Florida is the tour of the Nasa's Space Center. Sincerely, Michael and Dina Tovbin. New Jersey.

Booked with Gus and we’re delighted to hear there would be a launch on the day. Gus kept us informed of what to do to see the most interesting parts of the centre and of course the launch. Pick up and return to our hotel was easy, we even manage a quick supermarket stop for supplies
