NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
5 hours 30 min
After we depart Orlando you will have a narrated journey to Kennedy Space Visitor Center.
This comprehensive attraction devoted to the space shuttle brings you face-to-face with the priceless Atlantis spacecraft as only astronauts have seen it before – with payload bay doors open as if it were floating in space. Shuttle Launch Experience, this simulator ride replicates the sights, sounds and feelings of a shuttle launch.
The narrated NASA bus tour, brings you to the Saturn V Center. Find yourself standing inside the launch control room and looking at an actual Saturn V - the largest rocket ever to fly! Within this facility you get the chance to touch a piece of moon rock.
After the bus tour, you will have a little more time to enjoy the visitor center before leaving to see the airboat ride. But the complex has many breathtaking exhibitions – from walking through a rocket garden, to seeing 3D IMAX movies to feel like you are walking on the moon, there is so much to see and do. -
Saint Johns River
45 min
Following your time at Kennedy Space Center, you'll experience the swamps of Florida on a 30-minute airboat ride.
See exotic plants, flowers and wildlife. You'll travel at high speeds, gliding across the waters of the St. Johns River.
Wildlife often seen can be alligators swimming in the river, cows walking the banks and many birds flying around the area.
The Fish Camp is a very rural area with a little rustic bar and store inside. It has some tables and chairs you can sit back and relax to watch the river whilst waiting for the tour vehicle to return. Its an exciting yet peaceful end to the afternoon.
