At Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in September, kids ages three to 11 can explore space for free during Future Voyagers Month.
What's Happening:
- A new mission to inspire the next generation of space explorers will launch this September at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. During the entire month, FREE, one-day admission to kids ages three through 11 will be offered with a new, “Future Voyagers” program. Available with the purchase of at least one adult admission, the offer is valid for up to three complimentary children’s admissions per one adult purchase.
- As always, children under the age of three are admitted for free.
- With the Future Voyagers offer, families can now see real flight-flown space hardware in the recently opened Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex, which features the spaceport of the future, Spaceport KSC, and an all-new restaurant, Space Bowl Bistro. Objects like the LIFE Habitat Cut-Away, a scale model of a habitat designed for four to 12 crew members for long-duration space missions, and the Lockheed Martin Space Habitat, a full-scale mockup of what a habitat orbiting the Moon can look like can be explored. A scale model of the NASA Space Launch System Rocket that will launch the Artemis 1 mission is also on display in Gateway, as is the flight-flown Orion EFT-1 capsule.
- The Orion spacecraft will play a key role in NASA’s Artemis missions. Visitors can also learn how the James Webb Space Telescope operates by using the HoloTube presentation station to manipulate a holographic version of the telescope.
- Admission is available online at www.kennedyspacecenter.com/info/tickets, by calling Reservations at 855-433-4210 or by visiting Will Call.
- Blackout dates may apply, including launch viewing and special events, and this offer cannot be combined with any other offers.

What They're Saying:
- “There’s so much to offer young explorers here at the visitor complex,” Therrin Protze, COO of Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, said. “In addition to our world-class exhibits, interactive experiences, chances to meet a veteran astronaut and more, we offer even more that can’t be taught in a classroom or read in a book. A visit here piques interest, inspires thought and stokes curiosity, all things that lead to innovation and discovery.”
