Chat with an Astronaut

“Chat with an Astronaut” at Kennedy Space Center is a memorable, family-friendly experience that adds something truly special to any Orlando holiday. This small-group encounter gives visitors the chance to meet a real NASA astronaut, hear first-hand stories about life in space, and ask questions in a relaxed, informal setting.

Included with admission (or as a small upgrade, depending on availability), the session typically features a presentation, followed by a Q&A and a light snack or drink. It’s suitable for children and adults alike, making it ideal for British families planning an Orlando theme park holiday who want a break from rides and queues.

Located on Florida’s Space Coast, Kennedy Space Center is about an hour’s drive from the main Orlando attractions, making it an easy day trip. Combining education with inspiration, “Chat with an Astronaut” is a highlight for anyone interested in space exploration, STEM learning, or unique Florida experiences.

For families searching for things to do in Orlando beyond the theme parks, this experience is well worth adding to your itinerary.
