We have lift-off! Don't miss taking the family to one of Florida's best attractions, the Kennedy Space Center. With your transport organized, you'll take a virtual flight to the moon and back on this full-day trip from Orlando.

Kennedy Space Center is like an Orlando-style space-travel theme park - only it's real! It's a great day out for the whole family, and only 45 minutes from Orlando. You'll need to plan on spending at least a full day to explore NASA's launch headquarters, located on a huge island wildlife refuge eight times the size of Manhattan.

For a once in a lifetime experience, head to Kennedy Space Center for a shuttle launch in the early hours of the morning. Enjoy time exploring the center before taking your position at the closest vantage point to the launch site accessible to the general public. Witness the launch of the space shuttle on the latest NASA mission. From the closest vantage point available to the public you can join the countdown and see the shuttle's spectacular blast-off into space. Prior to the launch you have time to visit Kennedy Space Center, however some attractions may not be available on launch day.
