YOUR BEST CHOICE FOR LUXURY MOTOR COACH TRANSPORTATION IN THE TROPICS


Kennedy Space Center

 

Kennedy Space Center is located only 50 miles east of Orlando, on Merritt Island by Titusville. The Visitor Center at NASA offers relevant space history for your group to explore. You will see real spacecraft from past to present, tour restricted areas aboard KSC buses, experience thrilling IMAX Movies, and enjoy exciting space exploration exhibits and interactive shows. During the 2 – 3 hour bus tour, you will stop at the Observation Gantry to view the launch pads at Complex 39, witness an Apollo launch from a replica of the original firing room at the Saturn V building, and stop at the data processing center for the International Space Station. Don’t miss the fantastic, larger than life IMAX movies, currently showing “Magnificent Desolation” and the “Hubble 3-D”. Also available at the Visitor Center is the Astronaut Memorial, the Rocket Garden, the Robot Scouts, and the live show; Exploration Space: Explorers Wanted, which is especially great for our young visitors. The SHUTTLE LAUNCH EXPERIENCE is a “simulator-ride”, which appears more dangerous than it really is.  This attraction is a monument to the Space Shuttle program and will bring the dream of lift off to reality while educating our visitors on shuttle launches!  Groups can enjoy prearranged lunches or eat in one of several overpriced restaurants. Gatortrax can arrange a gourmet cold lunch to be enjoyed on picnic tables near the parking lot. Be sure to save time to shop at one of the many well stocked gift shops.  The US Astronaut Hall of Fame, located 3 miles from the visitor center  is included in your admission to Kennedy Space Center. It features the world’s largest collection of astronaut memorabilia, plus historic spacecraft, simulators and tributes to NASA space heroes . SCIENCE ON A SPHERE is a global display that takes visitors on a three-dimensional journey around the world and throughout the solar system via dynamic animated images of the atmosphere, oceans and planets.
