Bad news for one of the countries most popular and best known tourists attractions, with the Kennedy Space Center on Florida's Space Coast unfairly topping a list of “Most Disappointing” Tourist Attractions.
Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex at Cape Canaveral on the Space Coast is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country, offering visitors from around the world the chance to experience space exploration from the early days of NASA, to current and ongoing missions, offering an up-close, hands-on feel for the story of humans in space.
Every day thousands of visitors go behind the gates of NASA, walking through the giants of space in the famous Rocket Garden, learn about the men and women who’ve lived and worked among the stars at the Heroes and Legends exhibit, and stand nose-to-nose with the actual Space Shuttle Atlantis, and if that’s not enough, you can visit and watch an actual rocket launch.
Despite the popularity of the Space Coast attraction, a new study released by Jeffbet has listed the Top 20 “Most Disappointing” Tourist attractions in the U.S., with Kennedy Space Center taking the less-than-favorable ranking of top spot.
To determine which tourist attractions made the Top 20 List, the study claimed to have ranked popular attractions throughout the country, based on reviews from Tripadvisor and Google.
Specifically, the survey paid attention to only low-star reviews that expressed disappointment, including “wasn’t what I expected,” “waste of time and money,” “not what I thought,” “bad experience,”“not impressed,” and “not worth it.”
Kennedy Space Center is not the only world famous attraction on the list, at no. 8 is The White House, Graceland is at no. 10, and Mount Rushmore in no. 11.

Personally, we have to say that Kennedy Space Center is a unique attraction unlike anywhere else on earth, and if you are interested in space travel then the Space Coast attraction is well worth a visit, and despite this low ranking, Tripadvisor actually lists Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex as the number one thing to do in Merritt Island, with an average ranking of 4.5 stars. In addition, the visitor complex has a Google ranking of 4.7 stars out of 5 stars.
Plus, only recently Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex was named a Top 10 Summer Travel Destination by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.
