Paige FaragherJanuary 13, 2017If 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!Upvote23Downvote- Guido GybelsOctober 13, 2015The 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.

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 PhotoUpvote1Downvote

Gordon MeiDecember 4, 2015The 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.Upvote1Downvote

*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.
