Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex powers up for three-day celebration, Max Power!
The celebration of NASA’s Greatest Achievements features Industry Activations, NASA Experts, Max Power Parade, The Thunderbirds, and Special Admission Savings.
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, recognized as one of Tripadvisor’s top three U.S. attractions for two consecutive years, will celebrate the innovation, people and legacy behind NASA’s greatest achievements during MAX POWER, taking place November 6 – 8, 2026.
Included with admission, the three-day celebration brings guests face to face with NASA program experts, and includes interactive exhibits from leading space and aerospace organizations, immersive storytelling, high-energy parade honoring America’s great space journey, and a breath-taking display from The Thunderbirds, who will be headlining the event.
For these three days only, guests can save $17.76 on admission – a nod to America’s founding year.
