Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex

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.
