Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is a science center and museum in Brevard County that brings American spaceflight history directly to the public. Large halls display original rockets, capsules and landing equipment across a campus that spreads through several buildings.

The site opened in 1967 as a public gateway to NASA facilities and allowed civilians their first direct look at ongoing spaceflight projects. Over the decades it grew into a major educational campus that documents every phase of American space missions.

The name honors the president who championed the moon landing program and brought space exploration into public conversation. Visitors walk among actual spacecraft and touch the same technology that astronauts relied on during missions.

The center opens daily and offers bus tours to active launch pads as well as film screenings in large-format theaters. Pathways between buildings are paved and wheelchair accessible.

The exhibit includes a moon rock visitors can touch and it stands among the few samples worldwide released for direct contact. In another room hangs a spacesuit that was actually worn on the lunar surface.
