Cashless Procedures and FAQs

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will transition to a cashless operation starting January 6, 2025. Cash will no longer be accepted at registers throughout the complex. However, if you arrive with cash only, you can easily convert it into a prepaid MasterCard.

 

Guests can continue using credit cards, debit cards, or smart devices with Apple Pay or Google Pay for payments. If you don’t have a payment card, visit one of our Cash-to-Card kiosks, available throughout the visitor complex and at the Apollo/Saturn V Center, to transfer your cash onto a prepaid MasterCard debit card. This card can be used anywhere MasterCard is accepted, and there is no fee for this service.
