Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour

The initial bus tour that gets you to the Apollo visitor’s center is both essential, and worth it. But one thing that you just have to mentally prepare for is that you won’t be able to see everything clearly — some stuff will be off to the right, and some off to the left.

If you sit off to the right, you’ll have a clear view of the iconic rocket staging building and one or two of the launch pads. But if you sit on the left, you’ll have a clear view of the Space X launch pad and staging area. It’s a mixed bag — don’t be afraid to lean in over the people across the aisle and snap photos. Just don’t hesitate to let them do the same.

It’s about a 20-minute ride and is reasonably informative, mostly from a pre-recorded video presentation that seems to be timed with the bus tour.

It eventually drops you off to the Apollo visitor’s center. Do yourself a favor and go right to the presentation right there. We made the mistake of hopping right off to go to lunch and ended up having to go back and view the experience with another crew coming off their bus tour.

This is bucket list stuff right here. If you're reading this and haven't gone yet, I hope you're packing...

Enjoyed the bus tour to Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral. Service was good and the history of space exploration and travel is very interesting.

Stellar!!
