Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is NASA's public-facing gateway to its active launch site on Merritt Island, roughly an hour's drive east of central Orlando. Highlights include the Rocket Garden's collection of historic rockets, the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, and — schedule permitting — bus tours out toward the active launch complex. Because of the drive, this is a dedicated day-trip attraction rather than a same-day pairing with International Drive's cluster of smaller attractions.
What to See: Top Highlights
Space Shuttle Atlantis
A full-scale exhibit built around a genuine retired orbiter, displayed as if still in flight.
Rocket Garden
An outdoor collection of historic rockets from the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs.
Bus Tours
Included bus tours run out toward the active launch complex, schedule and access permitting.

Is This Covered by an Orlando Pass?
Compare Orlando PassesYes — Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is confirmed on Go City Orlando's own published All-Inclusive Pass attraction list. Given the visitor complex's own gate price, this is one of the pass's highest-value inclusions on paper — but factor in the roughly one-hour drive each way before counting on visiting it the same day as anything else.
Go City Orlando — All-Inclusive Pass
Included. Confirmed on Go City's own published Orlando attractions list.
