FAQ
Is 4 hours enough at Kennedy Space Center?
Four hours at Kennedy Space Center allows time to see major exhibits like the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the Rocket Garden. However, to visit all attractions, see IMAX films, and take bus tours, most guests recommend at least six to eight hours for a fuller experience. Four hours is suitable for a short visit focusing on highlights.
What’s the difference between Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center?
Cape Canaveral is a region in Florida hosting multiple launch facilities, with Cape Canaveral Space Force Station operated by the U.S. military for defense and commercial launches.

Kennedy Space Center is special as NASA’s primary launch site for crewed space missions and the location where Apollo 11 launched humans to the Moon. Visitors can tour iconic sites, see historic rockets and spacecraft up close, and experience immersive exhibits like the Space Shuttle Atlantis and Apollo/Saturn V Center. Live rocket launch viewing and astronaut encounters provide a unique connection to America’s ongoing space exploration efforts.
