Is the Kennedy space center excursion from MSC worth it?

TIA

Uber/Lyft is cheaper, faster, and more convenient. We enjoyed the Kennedy Space Center.

Super easy to do on your own and it's a great "once in a lifetime" experience. Well worth it (and we live here!!)

We enjoyed it a lot.  We did the MSC excursion but I know it is easier and cheaper to do on your own.

I also did the MSC excursion.  It was a fantastic day.  I guess you can save $$$ by doing it yourself.  I got lucky and there was a rocket launch when I was there

Thinking of doing this as excursion but price is pretty high. I know it closes at 5pm but we wouldn't need to be back to ship until 7:30 or 8 (ship leaves at 9pm) so maybe an Uber would work better. How far is the space center from the port?...in miles if anyone knows - and approx Uber cost for 2 people.

You sure the ship leaves at 9?  I’d double check.  I live there.  10 minutes / 8 miles Port to the Space Center.  Approximately $15 Uber each way.

THANKS for your quick response!

 

Yes...just double checked itinerary - departs at 9pm.  But also will be later getting into port that day at 1pm.  My concern is with a MSC booked excursion we will waste more time lining up, getting on bus, waiting to go, etc. vs. just booking a Uber or Lyft.  So it seems that's the way to go.  Do you know if there are other shuttles/taxis right there when getting off ship or would it be best to just order a Uber from my cell??

WOW never heard of the Seashore leaving that late and we’ve been on it 5x.  Anyway your best bet is an Uber. Not much else from Port to Space Center.
