Unique insights into history you wont find anywhere else. Our tour was great and our guide was super AWESOME.I even got to push the launch button. How cool is that?

Amazing to see the beginning of our space history and how far weve come. Even get to bring a little bit home with me!

We were able to visit this through our Kennedy space center tour. Its small, but definitely a great stop. The volunteers that do the tours are full of knowledge and passion. Take cash the small gift shop is a $10 minimum purchase for cards.

The BEST aircraft museum Ive been to. Admission is free, and the place is huge. I need to go back now that the 5th hanger is open. The only aerospace museum I enjoyed more was Kennedy Space Center...but only because, well, rockets ...hard to beat rockets. The Air Force Museum has a very large collection of both civilian and military aircraft, from the first days of flight all the way to stealth and drone tech. You could spend 2-3 days in there if you read and did everything.

Very interesting place to visit. Put it on your to do list.

A great place to see the start of the US space program. This museum is located on the Cape Canaveral Air force Station. The location has plenty of parking in parking lots outside the main buildings and in the area. There are two main buildings and a park outside the buildings. One of the buildings was the original firing control room that has much of the original equipment, a tribute to women in the space program and, now, a gift shop. The 2nd building has static displays for the local area, Cape Canaveral, a V-2 rocket and a space capsule. You can walk around outside the buildings in the large open field that has several of the pieces of equipment used to move and launch the rockets. Many of the rockets have been removed from the park, repairs and restored and are now residing in Hangar C but there is still one rocket on a stand to the south of the park. This is an older museum but a must see for anyone that is a space program fan.

So nice that they are keeping the history alive. It is really amazing to see this place.

Was able to visit. Impresses that history is available for the younger generation to see.

Fun place! Amazing collection of historic items and equipment. Putting some of the actual details in plain sight informed me and helped me understand what I did not know about all the safety risks EVERYONE faced to launch the Redstone rockets with Mercury capsules...!!! AND...and both the rocket & capsule were much smaller than I had always imagined.

Great place to experience the early days of the space program. Exhibits are outside so some are weathered

That is a 5 star review if youre really interested in the space program and history.my only complaint is the tour doesnt allow enough time at the launch building/muesum. There were a lot of displays and lots to see but not enough time. The docents were excellent with real passion for the space program

This museum is only accessible as part of the Early Space Tour at Kennedy Space Center. USAF employees may access the space at other times. The tour is an additional $25 to your Kennedy ticket, but well worth it! Depending on weather, youll have about an hour with a tour of the launch pads, the rocket park and the blockhouse where the rockets was launched from. The tour also includes visits to many of the other launch pads, so if youre a Space-buff its a must!

Great museum, the interior artifacts are amazing. The exterior ones are in need of refurbishment, outside of that its a great place to learn about our early space program.

A must for hardcore space enthusiasts! Well worth the effort, cost and extra time (allow 3+hrs) to see the early Cape tour on Cape Canaveral AFS. NASA bus guile’s was very knowledgable and all our fellow passengers were highly engaged and enjoyed the tour. The AF Museum docent was quite enthusiastic. I will say he made several erroneous statements (repeatedly pointed to Mercury-Atlas pictures and said it was a Gemini-Titan, and stated that the thrust of the V-2 rocket engine was provided by the turbine) but he was really nice and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Be sure to walk out to LC-5 where Alan Shepard’s Freedom 7 launched from. True historic landmark. Due to the various structures degrading in the harsh seaside environment, many of the other LCs are not accessible anymore such as the Mercury-Atlas LC-14 and the Gemini-Titan LC-19.

This is a stop that you will have really work at going to see. But worth the trouble if your into our space program from the beginning.

This is a really cool muesem! The tour guides were really nice and the V2 rocket engine is amazing!

By someone who loves our county of Brevard and its importance to space history and missle defense...I absolutely loved it!

What a great place to visit while touring Cape Canaveral! Fine exhibits to study and very knowledgeable docents to answer all your questions.

Robert Graveline, the Docent, gave a very interesting and entertaining tour, with personal first-hand stories only he could tell. I always cherish when I get to meet someone who has that knowledge and passion. I highly recommend taking the tour - short, but very sweet.

I suppose I am biased, but our whole family has vested interest in expanding beyond the atmosphere. Therefore, to be able to see these displays rather pegged our geek o meters

Cool place to see the first the first launch pad

Would give 5 stars if the outdoor exhibits were refurbished. Besides that, there is a lot to learn if you dont mind reading.

If you get lucky enough to to visit the Cape do it. Its a wonderful experience.

Cool place, though it all static exhibits with lots of reading. Young kids will likely find it boring as there is nothing hands-on to do or see.Get a guided tour if you can though, the docents are mostly people that have been working in the rocket program 50+ years and have incredible hands-on experience in the history of the space program. Their experience and stories are invaluable.

Small, not well maintained, but history that youll see nowhere else. Id still call it a hidden gem.

Very cool! Tons of awesome space stuff.

Lots of history and cool displays

You have to pay extra ($25) but it is worth it. Lot of history and the guide we had was very interesting.

This museum is well worth the extra rate you pay for the guided tour. Seeing a part of the history of space exploration in this context is overwhelming.

Awesome place just need more stuff

Great! Super good tour guides! They know their stuff and really care. Loved It.

Wow...what a let down. Was here 30 years ago and there were many great displays. Now very few displays and they are in horrible condition. Do yourself a favor and dont waste your time here.

Nice to see the old block house and firing room equipment. A few old rockets and missles out there that you can walk around to see. They are all in need of refurbishment, power washing and painting. Also an old engine sitting on railroad tracks. The place looks run down but still worth a visit to see some of our early rocket and space history from that time period about 1950 - 60. Im giving 4 starts because the place needs lots of refurbishment. The place seems to be almost forgotten about. Very, very few visitors.

Wonderful quality patches. I buy one for every mission I witness in person! Keep them coming.

Cool to see all the old stuff. Tour guide was awsome. Neat place to visit

Awesome place to visit.

Great part of Early Space Tour offered by KSC. Worth every penny.

Very cool experience to stand on the spot where early critical missions were launched.

Really cool if you like history

This is a top museum with information and displays about space R&D. Bring your family and friends. Very educational.

Lots of cool history here to see!

Wonderful piece of space history and its free to enjoy. Dont use Google to find it though as it is not correct. Great to talj wuth people really involved in the history of the space program. Bob Graveline was our guide and was a wealth of information. Cant wait to go back.

It is a place of history! The guides were nice and gave us time to tour the buildings and the grounds.

Really good tour by current NASA employees, who have great was stories from first hand knowledge of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs

An interesting location to visit.

Knowledgeable staff. Really cool if you like the history of the Space program!

This is a must! although is only accessible if you do the early space tour from KSC as is inside an active military base. our guide was truly amazing and told us some of his adventure, he was truly awesome!

Very interesting look into a very significant period of human endeavour

Was part of a VIP tour #kenndey space senter

Great history inside!

This is a wonderful museum and exhibit. The history made here changed the world.The single, giant, downside is access.It is such a great disappointment that both this site and the Cape Canaveral lighthouse are such a hassle to visit.

Neat place I visited on bike.

Awesome filled with so much history and great. Volunteers :)

Some sort of must see place when you travel in Florida.

We had an awesome time at Family Day!

Early history of the space race in the USA.Touch a piece of history, the site where Alan Sheppard was launched into space.

A must for any space fan, out of this world tour guides so knowledgeable

A must see for space geeks! Dont forget to check out the gift shop!

Very informative, the staff was Great

Where it all began!

A lot of history on these launch pads and bunkers. Worth taking the tour.

Your own personal rusty rocket garden. Old development missiles, larger Titan rockets, and the pad where Alan Shepard turned the space race into two team competition. Worth the trip.

A nice museum where Americas first orbiting space satellite was launched. Only accessible from the KSC Visitor Complex Now & Then tour.

Loved it and our tour guide (Walt)!

Really enjoyed going to the museum. When your there everything is so much bigger then you realize with rockets!

Loved it!

Tiny gem immerses you in the 1960s space race.

Impressive to say the least, had fun here!

If you do the early space mission tours from the Kennedy Space Center, this will be one of your stops. If you are history buff for early space flight, this is a must see/visit.

Our family recenty did the Behind the Gates - Early Space Tour. It was a great experience. Our 15-year-old son who is a history buff really enjoyed! Our 8-year-old daughter was also very intrigued and not bored at all! It was an exceptional tour, and we were blessed to have Robert Graveline as our guide. His knowledge & personal stories at this historic museum were priceless. I would highly recommend taking an afternoon to see a piece of space history! Please note because you are going on an active Air Force base, you need to go through extra security. It wasnt clearly defined, and we almost missed the bus tour because of not being properly checked-in. If you purchase a Behind the Gates tour, you need to wait in long lines when you first arrive at the Kennedy Space Center to make sure you are clear to go on the tour. In my opinion, on a level of 1-10, the KSC team handled at about a 4. That was a little discouraging for busy families on the go who dont have time to read all of the fine print or wait in long lines. However, the bus driver, bus guide & Mr. Graveline more than made up for the incident after we departed from the KSC.

Fun and educational

Very comprehensive, interesting and historic.

What history! You gotta go soon!

That! Kennedy Space Center tour!
