NASA Kennedy Space Center Store

I am a NASA geek. My favorite thing there was that in 2030 there going to blast the first people ever to step on Mars and they are going to capture a asteroid to study it. Well that is what I learned at NASA !

They have a lot of souvenirs to choose from. Tour was great… learned a lot about the space center!

Amazing place. Tour was great but not enough time to see and do everything. Definitely want to go back.

After reading a few reviews, I have to say that I was concerned about what I would encounter.
I was blown away by the amount of things to do as well as all of the knowledge that I acquired. I highly recommend, and I can’t recommend it enough, the bus tour. That was our first activity and the most interesting part of the trip (in my opinion).
The bus tour was a backstage look into NASA and our guide Scott was absolutely spectacular. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
I can’t say enough, I was not disappointed at all and even invested in some souvenirs. Used our Orlando Go Pass for this which I also highly recommend.

You can spend all day there and have a great time and the price is right five stars from me

Let’s talk about the tolls. Holy smokes. We are staying just outside Orlando and it cost us approximately $ 11 in tolls to get there. That being said, it’s an easy drive.
For 4 adults and three children, it cost us about $ 300. It’s expensive but oh so cool. We were there almost all day and couldn’t do everything. We explored the rocket garden, the gift shop and did the bus tour. The bus tour is worth it. We learned so much (the drivers are hilarious).
I was seriously overwhelmed when we saw the videos about the moon launch and we were able to view actual footage, see the real set up of the launch zone, etc.
My mother (she’s 64) said it was super neat to experience that again
Not much for kids (10, 5 and 1) but we weren’t able to do it all so there may be more.
Definitely a learning experience.

This has to be the best gift shop ever. Memorabilia and real NASA items to browse through and /​or purchase. Could spend a lot of time here. I have traveled a bunch and have seen some run of the mill gift shops. I have never seen one as vast as this one, except for the shop at Trinity College in Ireland.

First off — getting here. We were staying at the Orlando World Center Marriott. You have to drive through 4 tolls each way to get here. They range in price from $ 1.00 — $ 1.50. If you want to save time, rent a car with the EZPass. If you didn’t then I suggest you have about $ 12 in quarters and go through the exact change lane — only takes coins. This will save time. The drive is beautiful and we saw a lot of wildlife on the way.
I went with my mother-​in-​law and seven year old child. We were there half a day and it worked well. You could easily stay a day here but by the afternoon there were a lot of crying babies and toddlers.
The experience of the tour and the informative videos were amazing. When is the last time we as a country have been so moved and united on a positive front. It was really neat to hear about the attempts to the moon and the actual learning in real time with the videos and then see some of the equipment used.
This place is fantastic. There was a college robotics competition happening while there. I hope to revisit someday and see IMax movie theater. Also wish we had allotted more time to run by the beach.
By the way — the store near the entrance is fantastic. What a fun collection of things. Take some money for that too!

I read the reviews and budgeted half a day. Mission critical failure. In half a day we did the bus tour and the shuttle building, and could have spent much longer in both places. We missed so much, but got so much more out of it than I expected.
At $ 210 for 4 adults it seems like a bargain after Disney world. That said the food really is horrible, so pack a lunch and spend the full day.

If you buy the history of the space shuttles and memorabilia this is the place for you you certainly don’t see it anywhere. I’ve been to many airports in this is the only store of its kind definitely great to grab a few things for the kids

This is a one of a kind place that you don’t just have everywhere. This place is awesome if you love space and space history! I came here with a few friends and we spent the entire day here doing everything we could. There is so much to see and learn if you’ve never been here before!
First of all you have tons of outdoor exhibits of model rockets and other cool space stuff. It is simply amazing just standing next to some of the stuff and getting to experience the history right in front of you! Once you’re done outside there are tons of inside exhibits. From everything from angry birds space for the kids to the history and more models of past NASA history. There are hours of stuff to do and I cant wait to come back to this amazing place!
Also when you are there make sure you go to the IMax movies as they are awesome and such neat experiences you wont find anywhere else. They truly put on a show here and they’ll entertain from adults to children.
The shops here are also one of kind and something you won’t find outside of this place. I could spend hours looking at stuff to buy in the unique shops.
There is something here for everybody, I highly recommend making the trip here!

This location is a store located inside of Orlando International Airport (MCO). Apparently some of the folks who have written their Unilocal reviews don’t understand they have attached their review to the Airport Store — when in fact they should have attached their review to the Kennedy Space Center:
This is merely a small store — it does have some cool space oriented stuff. The one thing I was interested in was some of the NASA movies — but unfortunately they all are offered on DVD — NOT Blu-​Ray I asked the young man working the store — he confirmed they were not available on Blu-​Ray/​HD.

Plan on staying the whole day because the tour and exhibits are so interesting. Did you know that the favorite car for astronauts is the Corvette? Nice photo opts, and educational for the kids. Watch out for big gators, ‘cus this is a sanctuary for all wildife!

Hubble 3D has forever changed my life! I can’t believe that I walked into Don Thomas ;I mean how many people can say that they’ve walked into an astronaut?! Oh and warning, you may have a heart attack when you enter Atlantis simulator.

If you’re into space/​history this is a great experience. I only gave it three stars because I didn’t feel it was worth $ 50/​adult and $ 10 parking. Highly recommend the IMAX movies and stimulated space shuttle launch. The rest is standing in long lines all day and eating overpriced fast food.

Let’s be honest. What do I need to really say about this. BUY STUFF. AWESOME COOL LOOKING STUFF. If you don’t want to buy stuff then just look around. Window shopping. It is still cool. Oh! Look at their posters, they have cool looking posters.

Such a great store to stop at before you clear through security in Terminal A. They have astronaut flight suits for the kids, space shuttle toys, autographed memorabilias, Astronaut Snoopy, and everything else you would find in a souvenir shop. My favorite find was their kitchen oven mitts in a left and right «glove» for $ 10!

Everything is nice you learn all about the astronauts when we went to visit a few years ago. food was not good unfortunately i think it’s what they feed the astronauts, but anyway there is a lot to learn about the different space missions. it was very humid weather the day we went so go dressed in cool clothes and check for the best time of year before visiting Orlando, Florida. Lots of things to buy!

Cool to see and had fun getting silly things at the gift shop… space food is interesting. i feel bad for them haha

I have been here several times over many years and the store is still the same. It has some amazing keepsakes from many different NASA missions. The actual Kennedy Space Center is over an hour away from the airport, so this is a good alternative. If you visit Orlando Terminal A, do check this place out. NASA isn’t flying any more manned space missions, so who knows how long this store will be open for.
