Kids explore space for free at Kennedy Space Center
A new mission to inspire the next generation of space explorers will launch this month at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
During the entire month of, September free, one-day admission to kids ages 3 – 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.
Children under the age of three are always admitted for free.
“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 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.”
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.
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.
Admission is available online at www.kennedyspacecenter.com/info/tickets.
