Upon arrival at the KSC Visitor Complex, you're free to tour the stellar visitor complex at your leisure.

And don’t leave without getting a full-sensory space experience at the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, featuring more than 60 interactive experiences!
Between stops, engage in savvy interactive displays, remember fallen astronauts at the Astronaut Memorial, and take needed snack breaks (own expense) in the Rocket Garden or Orbit Cafe.
At the end of your tour, a coach returns you to the departure point in Orlando.
