Event Details

The main visitor complex’s key attractions will remain open with lower wait times, so you’ll have more time to venture to other worlds in Spaceport KSC, get up close with actual flight-flown artifacts like space shuttle Atlantis and a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster, feel the rumble aboard the Shuttle Launch Experience® and more.

Select visitor complex restaurants and retail stores will also be open during this specially ticketed event.

Finally, the evening event would not be complete without your best space-themed costume. Dress to impress and have fun, but for security reasons, costumed masks that conceal your face are prohibited, as are any props that resemble weapons.

August 31, 2024 •6:30 PM - 10:00 PM


Tickets for all ages are $65 (plus tax).

Annual passholders attending the event will receive discounts on food and a 30% savings on retail items.

Parking to this event is complimentary.

This ticket is valid for EVENT ENTRY ONLY. The Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour and the Apollo/Saturn V Center will not be operational.
