Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex

NASA’s launch headquarters welcomes guests, who get to view the Space Shuttle Atlantis, train for their own space shuttle launch (okay, actually a heart-pumping simulation experience of a launch), as well as watch movies featuring images from the Hubble Space Telescope in the IMAX Theater and tour launch areas. Other exhibits focus on Apollo and the space race and offer a chance to touch a moon rock. There are even opportunities to meet a real astronaut and view a live rocket launch.
