Holidays in Space Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex

Looking to start a new holiday tradition? At Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, the holidays go high-tech with the fourth annual Holidays in Space celebration Dec. 19 through Jan. 3.

The iconic Rocket Garden will be the site of Spirit of Exploration, a presentation of space imagery shown on the side of the 223-foot-long Saturn 1B rocket. The presentation, which takes guests on a journey through NASA’s history and plans for the future, features custom animation blended with historic footage of actual launches and views of Earth from the International Space Station.
