Heading for the United States? Florida’s Kennedy Space Centre visitor complex is offering new experiences in 2024.

Blue Origin's first permanent, interactive exhibit, which opened last December, allows guests to enter a ‘near-perfect’ replica of the New Shepard capsule.

Named after Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American to go to space, and developed in collaboration with scientists and engineers, the immersive virtual reality experience uses actual data and imagery to mimic the voyage to space, and back home again.

Hyperdeck Mission Moon is an interactive, virtual reality experience that “transports four players on a Moon mission” with zero motion simulation.

Guests use VR headsets and will feel rumbling beneath their feet as their "spacecraft" departs and then lands on the Moon, where participants are taken on a journey across the lunar surface.

Deep Sky, a new IMAX space movie, uses images captured by NASA's Webb Telescope of cosmic landscapes, recently discovered exoplanets and planets around other stars.
