KSC Offers Holidays in Space
December 5, 2022 – Viera is in the heart of the Space Coast and a short ride up I-95 to the north takes a traveler to Kennedy Space Center, where many of the launches for the U.S. originate. It’s also the home of Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, a major attraction where history and fun combine.
Each year at this time, KSC presents Holidays in Space. Now in its 11th year, Holidays in Space features a brand-new projection mapping show – Starflake’s Holiday Voyage – on the outside of Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex®. The show is projected directly onto the side of a building, creating a a breathtaking six-minute-long journey through the stars, earth, and beyond.
Visitors will enjoy the festive holiday décor that has taken over the visitor complex. New décor includes – a 50 foot tree illuminating the Rocket Garden and Gateway with more than 61,000 pixels of light, six-foot-tall astronaut nutcrackers and more. They will also see the return of favorite décor, such as the NASA meatball turned holiday ornament.
And there will be roaming street performances by a singing duo and comedy act in joyful outfits that are sure to get a smile out of the crowd.
Holidays in Space is included with admission to the Complex, which always features the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame, the Rocket Garden where you can get up close to actual space vehicles, the Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour for a comfortable ride to see the operational facilities of the space center, the Space Shuttle Atlantis and lots more.
If you have any interest in space history, or want to see what’s next in this exciting area, a visit to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is a must. The Holidays in Space extras will make the trip even merrier.
