The after-hours event plans to offer guests an early 2000’s video DJ performance in the Rocket Garden, a techno DJ dance party in NASA Central, Cosmic Glow Mini Golf under the massive Saturn 1B rocket and a chance to view celestial wonders with the Ortega Observatory of Florida Tech through state-of-the-art telescopes.
Guests will also be able to spend time with people who have been out of this world as veteran NASA astronauts Ellen Ochoa and Mike Forman will meet with guests throughout the evening. Ochoa was the first Hispanic woman to travel into space and Foreman accumulated more than 26 days in space, according to NASA.
“Kennedy Under the Stars has grown into one of our most anticipated events, giving our guests the opportunity to explore immersive exhibits after hours, enjoy engaging entertainment, and the rare opportunity to mingle with astronauts,” Therrin Protze, chief operating officer at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, said in a statement. “This event blends 2000s nostalgia with today’s cutting edge space attractions, making it an unforgettable night celebrating the wonder of space exploration.”
Tickets for the event are $65 plus tax, per person. Space-themed outfits are encouraged, but costume masks that conceal faces are prohibited for safety reasons. Annual passholders to the visitor center will receive discounts on food and 30% savings on retail items.
