Walk beneath a towering Falcon 9 booster, touch a real moon rock and come face-to-face with Space Shuttle Atlantis plus.
Take a behind-the-gates bus tour for an exclusive look at NASA's legendary launch sites and the future of space exploration.
Visitors also have the chance to meet an astronaut.

With missions to Mars, rocket launches, and deep space exploration...
No trip to Orlando is complete without landing at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Discover something real.
Okay, everyone, time for today's eight-legged race.
For this race, four people, linked together arm to arm, will be racing this eight-legged spider from the starting line to the finish line.
But Mindy, that spider is a tarantula the size of my hand.
I know, which is why there is no excuse to not beat it in this race.
Your legs are like a billion times longer.
Now, for our eight-legged team, I am listing the legs of Grandma G-Force.
Oh, yeah.
Dennis.
Let's do this.
Guy Raz.
This should be interesting.
And Daddy Long Legs himself, Thomas Fingerling.
What?
Do people call me Daddy Longlegs?
No.
Oh, real.
Now go ahead and link your arms at the elbows.
And whatever you do, don't let go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mandy.
We get it already.
You must work together to move your legs in sync to beat this tarantula to the finish line.
Okay?
Okay.
Okay.
On your marks, get set, Did we win?
I think so.
Dennis, you immediately tripped all over each other and fell into a big pile of people.
You didn't even make it past the starting line, much less the finish line.
Well, that's disappointing.
But at least we lost this race together.
Nice teamwork, everyone.
Hooray!
A silver lining!
Physics, biology, and outer space.
Science explorers with our headquarters.
Oh, Dennis.
Here at camp we wow.
Okay, that's enough.
Campers, and welcome to Camp Wee Wow.
I'm Camp Counselor Guy Raz.
And I caught a fish with my bare hands.
You did what?
I mean, I'm Mindy.
Today is the last day of Spider Week, and we have some arachnid exercises for you today.
But first, Thomas Fingerling is teaching swimming lessons down at the lake.
Let's check it out.
Listen up, campers.
My name's Coach Fingerling, and I'm here to teach all you youngsters how to swim.
Okay.
Step one.
Get in the water.
Here we go.
That's chilly.
Oh, no.
Oh, that's cold.
Oh, my.
Okay.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
Let's try some kicking, shall we?
I'm gonna use this here kickboard.
You feel free to do the same, alright?
Okay, here we go.
Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick.
You know what?
That's too much splashing.
We're scaring all the fish.
Let's try something a little less strenuous.
Okay.
Now do like me.
I'm gonna...
Lay back here in the water.
There we go.
And float for just a bit.
Ah, that's real nice.
It's like a bed made of water.
Or a recliner made of H2O.
What?
Where am I?
Why am I all wet?
Oh, yeah.
I was napping in my waterbed.
I forgot.
Well, that's it for swim lessons, little campsters.
Coach Fingerling needs to towel off.
Dismissed!
Moo!
We'll be back with more Camp Weevil soon.

Back to camp.
Welcome to the camp garden, everyone.
I'm excited to show you how simple and easy gardening can be.
All you need are seeds and soil.
Oh, and water, of course.
All living things need water.
Oh, and time, I suppose.
Seeds, soil, water, and time.
And that's all you need.
Oh, wait, I forgot sunshine.
Plants use photosynthesis to turn sunlight into food, and it also doesn't hurt to add some fertilizer into the soil from time to time.
So, what is that now?
We've got seeds, soil, water, time, sunshine, and fertilizer.
But that's all you need?
Oh, except for gardening tools.
I forgot about that.
What do we got here?
There's a little hand trowel, a spade, a hoe, pruning shears, wheelbarrow watering can, working gloves and a very fashionable, very wide brimmed hat which I'm going to put on right now actually.
There we go.
That'll keep my head from getting sunburned and make my friends say, oh Dennis, where'd you get that cool hat?
Oh, actually, and speaking of cool, it's also really important to hydrate.
I keep an insulated water bottle full of cold, filtered water with a squeeze of lemon.
Also, don't forget to snap selfies and planties to upload to your gardening blog.
Okay, so now where does that leave us?
We need seeds soil water Time sunshine fertilizer trowel spade hoe pruning, shears.
Water can gloves, sun hat, water bottle, phone and blog.
Woo!
All right.
That's all you need.
Oh, boy.
I think, I think I need a rest.
It's camp time.
And we love to swap stories around the open flames.
Right, Guy Raz?
Uh, right.
With supervision, of course.
But, you know, great stories can come from anywhere.
That's why we've been asking you to call in all week long.
Yeah, we want to hear what's wowed you this week.
And we'll do it while we roast marshmallows and gaze into the fire on a summer's night.
Uh, Mindy, I think that marshmallow you're roasting is done.
Oh, not yet.
It's almost the perfect golden brown.
Oh, man.
Burn it.
Here, let me try again.
There we go.
One more try.
Uh, this could take a while.
In the meantime, why don't we hear your calls?
Hi, Melanie and Guyra. dancing clogs, and I like that because I'm an Irish step dancer.
Listen.
Bye, Mindy and Guy Raz.
Hi, Mindy and Guy Raz.
My name is Dia, and I live in Cupertino, California.
And the game that I invented is called Vowel Masters.
The way that you play it is that you spell out a word without telling the other person the vowels.
For example, if the word was wee-wow, I would just say W-W-W and not tell them that there's an E and an O.
They'd have to guess that the actual word was wee-wow.
Bye, love your show.
Hi, Mindy and Guy Laws.
My name is Susanna and I live in Houston, Texas.
My wow in the world is if you tickle a crocodile on his belly, It will fall asleep.
Bye.
Hi, I'm Mindy and Guy Raz.
My name is Harper and I live in Raleigh, NC.
The game I made up is called Watermelon Frisbee.
It's where there's a frisbee that looks like a watermelon and me and my dad throw it back and forth for my dog Coco, to try to get.
And when she gets it, we try to get it back and throw it back and forth.
Hi, my name is Enzo and I live in New Jersey.
My game I invented is called Tackle Ball.
The first person claps his hand and shows the ball to the other person.
He runs around the house in a specific order.
The other person tackles the other person and they're trying to get the ball.
The person that has the ball tries to keep it and the person that My name is Sadie and I'm 11.
I love the Beatles.
They're my favorite songwriters.
So I wrote a song to Wow, thank you all so much for sharing all of that with us.
And for thinking, tinkering, and exploring with us all week.
And congratulations to all our campers.

Well, campers, that's a wrap for Camp WeWow.
We hope you have a great rest of your summer.
Yes, indeed.
This was our last week here.
I'm so excited for the rest of the summer, but I'm also a little sad to be leaving camp.
Yeah, me too, Guy Raz.
But since it's an invisible summer camp, we can come back anytime we want.
