Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex draws 1.5 million guests annually
More than 1.5 million people explore the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex each year, where the Vehicle Assembly Building stands 525 feet tall and 518 feet wide and displays a 22‑story (209 feet) flag on its side.
The site’s Crawler Transporter 2 weighs about 6.6 million pounds and moves at roughly one mile per hour when loaded, while a four‑story gantry at Launch Complex 39 supports operations and sits just over two miles from Launch Complex 39B; Mobile Launch Platform 3 was decommissioned in 2023.
