Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is working with Brevard Sharing Centers to ensure members of the local community have adequate supplies as they recover after Hurricane Irma. Guests are encouraged to bring canned goods and non-perishable food items, baby formula and food, and hygiene products. In addition to these donations, the visitor complex will also collect used plastic grocery bags, to be “upcycled” into lightweight, waterproof mats for homeless veterans.**

After Irma, Brevard Sharing Centers distributed about 35,000 pounds of food in 10 days, an amount that would normally be given out in a month’s time.

Proof of Brevard County residency in the form of a driver’s license or utility bill is required to receive the special visitor complex admission rate. Tickets must be purchased at the visitor complex on the date of entry.

Admission includes a full day or more of fun, inspiration and educational activities, including Heroes & Legends, featuring the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame®, presented by Boeing, the Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour featuring the Apollo/Saturn V Center with an actual Saturn V moon rocket, Space Shuttle Atlantis®, Shuttle Launch Experience®, IMAX® A Beautiful Planet 3D and Journey To Space 3D films, Astronaut Encounter, Journey To Mars: Explorers Wanted, Science on a Sphere®, Rocket Garden, and many other exhibits.

Salute to Brevard was created in 1999 to thank the people of Brevard County for their continued support of Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

*This rate is valid for up to six people per party.

**Bags must be free of holes or damage.
