Overnight Adventure at Apollo/Saturn V
at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex

May 2-3. 3:45pm - 8:15am
$145/person. Student age 7-14. Chaperone age 21+

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
Space Commerce Way, Merritt Island, FL 32953

Participants will experience a guided exploration of the Apollo/Saturn V Center. The adventure begins with the history of Apollo 8 and the Apollo Firing Room. Relive the launch of the first crewed NASA mission to orbit the Moon in 1968 aboard the massive Saturn V rocket at the Firing Room Theater. Experience the countdown for Apollo 8 facing the actual consoles used during the Apollo launches as you see and feel the powerful Saturn V Moon rocket lift off from the launch pad and blast into space. You will then meet the star of the show, the Saturn V rocket! During a walking tour of this spacecraft, our Educators will point out its key design features and explain how space technology has been used to further our understanding of the world and beyond. You will see a demonstration of how physics and rockets allow us to travel to space, the Moon, and beyond.

Participants will work together or in competing teams to solve an engineering design challenge inspired by the Apollo Command Module’s safe return to Earth. This hands-on, brains-on challenge gives Overnight Adventurers a chance to use their teamwork, communication, collaboration and creativity!

Around 9:30 p.m., participants will retrieve their overnight gear and get ready for bedtime under the Saturn V rocket. A late-night snack is provided. The Education staff will wake you bright and early at 6:30 a.m. to get you on your way for your Day 2 adventures. After packing up your gear, you will be transported back to the main visitor complex to enjoy a continental breakfast in Orbit Cafe and hear closing remarks from our Educators. After storing luggage in your vehicles, you will be able to reenter through the main entrance, once Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex opens at 9 a.m., to continue exploring at your leisure.

Your tickets allow you full admission access to the visitor complex and will get you 10% discount at the retail stores! You must have your tickets for re-entry into the visitor complex on the second day. Overnight Adventure tickets are valid for two uses beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Day One of the program and for up to six days after the first use.
