Children aged five and under in Florida will have the opportunity to visit the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for free throughout 2026, thanks to the new Junior Space Explorer Pass. The pass is available exclusively to Florida residents and allows complimentary admission for eligible children until December 31, 2026.
To take advantage of this offer, parents or guardians must pre-register their children through the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex website by February 27, 2026. Registration at the front entrance is not permitted. Upon arrival, a valid form of identification—such as a certified birth certificate or travel passport—must be presented to verify the child’s age. School IDs or children’s security IDs will not be accepted. Additionally, parents or guardians are required to show photo identification with proof of Florida residency.
Once activated, the pass remains valid for general admission through the end of December 2026. However, blackout dates may apply during launch viewings and special events.
