Discounts for Kennedy Space Center?

[sandydk]

We were thinking about getting to town a bit early and visiting Kennedy SC the day before our cruise... Until I saw how much tickets cost. Do they offer discounts anywhere? I thought I remembered something about a limited number of free or discounted tickets every quarter? Thanks!

Time was that US citizens could get free passes to Kennedy Space Center by contacting their senator. Each senator was granted XX number of tickets they could give out during the year. That little freebie ended about 2 years ago.

Here is an answer to your question: besides the Sr. citizen and military discounts they also offer a AAA discount. In the past I have been able to walk up and get the discount at the gate. Although I see a note about "pre purchase tickets" so things may have changed about walk-up AAA prices.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! That senator thing is what I think I remembered hearing about.

We are planning to get a AAA membership before a big road trip we have coming up. I'll check into that discount.

Thank you!
