Kennedy Space Center (KSC) (Note: Rocket launch dates: HERE)
Of course you can do KSC with bus tours which will take near launch sites, etc... For space buffs, this is probably a great tour. Frankly, we have not done it. The cost is about $50 per person. No discount, military or otherwise.
However, for those who want to get a sense of KSC, there is a "SHOPPING PASS".
Details on the "SHOPPING PASS":
- The folks at the ticket counter will deny they have this deal
- Therefore, go into the building that says INFORMATION.
- It is to the left of the main ticket area.
- The cost is $10 per person.
- You will get your tickets (which you will not want to loose).
- You will be able to walk the main grounds
- This includes: Actual rocket display, food courts, and other outdoor displays.
- Note: You will not have access to indoor events or exhibits.
THE CATCH IS:
- You will need to buy something in the gift store.
- They say one item per ticket - but we don't think they care - just so long a your group buys something.
- You will return to the INFORMATION house up to an hour after you purchased your ticket.
- Show them your entrance ticket and receipt from the gift store.
- Receive $10 refund per ticket :-)
- Only cost = what you purchased in the gift store - which is large.
IN SHORT:
ENJOY YOUR VISIT!
