On our Kennedy Space Center Chat with an Astronaut Tour, not only will you be whisked to the Visitor Complex with all the convenience and efficiency of Real Florida Adventures transport, you will also be first in line for one of THE great personalized experiences the Kennedy Space Center has to offer.
Set in an intimate purpose-designed venue away from the main center, you will be introduced to a seasoned veteran of the space program.
After your meeting, there will be a full presentation from the featured astronaut, who will talk visitors through their experiences of that first launch, subsequent missions, and what it’s like to live and work in space.
Be sure to have some questions up your sleeve for the subsequent Q&A opportunity with the day’s representative of NASA’s astronaut corps, and be ready for the highlight of a photo opportunity with him or her, and a memory to last a lifetime.
And after your chat with an astronaut at Kennedy Space Center, you will still have plenty of time to tour the rest of the modern, dynamic complex. The KSC has been dramatically revamped in recent years to really immerse visitors in both the history and the future of space exploration.
There is a LOT to discover, but don’t miss the awe-inspiring Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, complete with the Shuttle Launch Experience, the Heroes & Legends center, incorporating the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame, the majestic Rocket Garden, and the fabulous IMAX Theater, with its larger-than-life movie features. If you’d like to raise the bar even higher, then you might like to consider our #1 Kennedy Space Center Experience!
This experience was formerly known as Kennedy Space Center Dine With Astronaut but has been changed to reflect the KSC adaptations to the tour. If you have any questions about the Chat with an Astronaut experience, or our other NASA Space Station tours in Florida, please contact us for all the information you need.
