It has been said that NASA put a man on the moon with less technology than you have on your smart phone and at Kennedy Space Center you can find out just how that is possible! With regular admission, you will have the opportunity to explore the expertly designed telescopes, rockets, and launch pads not to mention admission into the IMAX theaters and Astronaut Encounters.  But to get the full space experience, it’s the Space Plus Passes that allow you full access to all of the attractions including Lunch with an Astronaut and the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame. 

IMAX Theatre:

The Hubble 3D and Space Station 3D are the two jaw-dropping films that are shown daily at the IMAX theatres on location at Kennedy Space Center.  No digital recreations here - each film features actual footage taken by real astronauts on outer-space missions.  The five story screen accompanied by a booming sound wall and life like 3-D effects make this the closest you can get to floating alongside the brave men and women who have journeyed through space. 

Shuttle Launch Experience:

If you have ever wondered what a shuttle launch feels like for an astronaut, the Shuttle Launch Experience cannot be missed!  Your heart will be racing when you hear a voice come over the speaker say, “3…2…1…Lift-Off”.  Suddenly your seat will begin to rumble and you will feel as if you are zooming at lightning speeds outside of the Earth’s atmosphere.  The lighting through the window changes from bright to dark and you will believe that you are actually traveling through space. 

Astronaut Encounter:

Ever been in the presence of a real NASA astronaut?  Well, here is your chance at KSC.  Every day at Kennedy Space Center guests have the opportunity to listen to the stories of space travel from a man or woman who actually experienced a voyage to space.  The seminar style encounter allows plenty of time for any questions, so bring your thinking caps because you don’t get an opportunity like this every day!
