A visit to Kennedy Space Center and the brand new Space Shuttle Atlantis should go off with a blast with an only-available-in-the-UK ticket from Attraction Tickets Direct.

The exclusive Kennedy Space Center Space Pass ticket is not available in resort and can only be pre-purchased before you depart the UK or Ireland. The Space Pass offers the most comprehensive Kennedy Space Center experience as it combines all the components of the Kennedy Space Center Admission Badge with a 'Dine with an Astronaut' programme and an exclusive tour to the more restricted areas of the complex.

Atlantis launches this weekend and the brand new 90,000-square-foot, $100-million home for Atlantis tells the incredible story of NASA's 30-year Space Shuttle Program and brings visitors nose-to-nose with the priceless Atlantis spacecraft as only astronauts have seen it before.

The exhibition will tell the compelling story of the entire shuttle program, including the thousands of people behind this incredible feat of engineering, its key role in the development in the International Space Station and the launch and repair of the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as how it paved the way for today's new space programs and the future of space exploration.

More than 60 interactive, immersive exhibits and simulators will provide guests a never-before-experiences perspective on the shuttle's complex systems, components and capabilities.

An Adult Kennedy Space Center Space Pass ticket costs £72 and a child (3-11yrs) is £51.

 Attraction Tickets Direct also has other ticket options for those wanting to visit. The Atlantis exhibit is also included in the Kennedy Space Center Admission Badge Ticket (£30 adult; £24 child 3-11yrs) and those without their own transportation in Orlando can book the Kennedy Space Center with Transportation option (£56 adult; £52 child 3-11yrs).
