If you only have time to make 1 attraction while at the Kennedy Space Center, make this one it! There is a well-informed engineer who used to work on the spacecraft who is stationed to answer all Q's!

Guido Gybels

The show is amazingly well done and when you come face to face with Atlantis at the end, it brings tears to your eyes. Incredibly inspirational.

Ryan Ziolko

Near the memorial to the astronauts of Challenger and Columbia , they have a piece of the wreckage of both shuttles.

Sam T

One of the most stunning space exhibits I've ever been to. The first view of Atlantis brought tears to my eyes.

Richard Dickins

The introductory movies are amazing, but if you have seen them before, Arrive at 9am and then enter through the gift shop on the right of the main entrance. You will be alone for 15 mins = Great Photo

Doug Couch

One of the coolest and underrated tourist attractions in Florida. Well worth the price of admission.

Thomas M.

Overwhelming exhibitions . A must-visit location even if you are not a space nerd. Don‘t miss the astronauts encounter.

Murat

Awesome! Very good intro movie ; then access to real Atlantis ; later a really geniune ride/launch with simulation. Pretty cool, maybe the best in the whole complex.

Andrew Watson

Be sure to visit the memorial section where the display pieces of the Challenger and Columbia shuttles and information about the crew members that were lost. It's a a stunning, haunting experience.

A truly remarkable experience. To see the Atlantis up close is like reliving a space mission. Totally worth the admission price! Great for kids as well .

Marcelo Tempesta

My visit was really fantastic. Very interesting information very well presented. Nice customer service. Good food and infrastructure.

Gordon Mei

The real Atlantis orbiter lives here, with a well designed show leading into it. Also check out the space shuttle launch simulator downstairs. Check your bags in the cubbies around the corner.

Eddie Pacheco

Did the VAB tour that ends at the Saturn Rocket exhibit . Great time but arrive early and leave the day to see it all comfortably.

Great exhibit , you can see Atlantis real one, launch experience, great show about how space shuttle program was conceived.

Steven H.

*Spoiler Alert* After the main cue line . There is a video that you see standing-up in 2 rooms.Total time complete for both videos 15 min. But have your camera ready after the 2nd video.

Visit NASA's Great Observatories inside Atlantis : Hubble Space Telescope, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory , Chandra X-Ray Observatory , the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the James Webb Space Telescope.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing this exhibit is!!! You MUST see this amazing piece of history of your KSC trip is not complete.

Make sure you're paying attention (and not looking at your phone) during the second introductory movie . Trust me on this.

So cool seeing the shuttle with the loading bay opened. 98% of what you see original.

Plan plenty of time here. You'll spend more time than you realize just marveling at Atlantis .

Upon entering under the rocket boosters, if the cue line is very long. Turn around and enter the exhibit thru the gift shop .
