Children under the age of five who live in Florida can now visit the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for free throughout 2026, thanks to the new Junior Space Explorer Pass. The pass is available exclusively to Florida residents and will be valid until December 31, 2026.

To take advantage of this offer, parents or guardians must pre-register their children on the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex website by February 27, 2026. Registration at the front entrance is not available. Upon arrival, families are required to present proof of the child’s age—either a certified birth certificate or travel passport—as well as photo identification that confirms their Florida residential address. School IDs or children’s security IDs are not accepted forms of verification.

The pass grants complimentary admission but may be subject to blackout dates, such as launch viewing days and special events.

“Kids five and under can enjoy complimentary admission to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in 2026 with the Junior Space Explorer Pass. Available only to Florida residents, the pass is valid through December 31, 2026.”

Parents and guardians seeking more information can contact Russell Bruhn at RBruhn@delawarenorth.com or call 321-213-5926.
