Although the museum is currently under renovation, it remains open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET. Admission is free, and digital museum guides are available for $7.

Among the exhibits included in general admission tickets are the Starship Gallery, Mission Mars, the NASA Tram Tour, and many more. A new exhibit, “Apollo Art: 50 Year Retrospective,” explores the moon landing through various artworks.
Kennedy Space Center even has suggested itineraries for your visit, which map out the perfect plan depending on the age, amount of time at the museum, and interest level of your group.

These guided tours only take place on Saturdays and Sundays from April to October, and tickets can only be purchased day-of on a first-come, first-served basis.
On Saturday, July 20, the museum will be hosting a famous New York improv group who will perform an Apollo 11-inspired set following a talk with a former astronaut and NASA’s deputy project scientist. Tickets are $15 for the general public; the event is for ages 21 and up.
