Cape Canaveral Lighthouse & Spaceflight Tours transports you on a journey through the evolution of exploration as we visit the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse that guided the first explorers around the Florida coast, to the location that propelled our ships into orbit, and look toward the new frontier of planetary travel.

Canaveral Tours provides tours to the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse and Space Force Missile Museum located on the Canaveral Space Force Station. Our 4-hour Premier Tour provides the History of the Cape from early settlers to current space programs. The tour takes you to the lighthouse, where you are have the opportunity to climb to the 5th floor of lighthouse. The museum, gift store, and lighthouse campus await your visit.

The tour continues next door to Hangar C, the first hangar built on the station. It currently houses refurbished artifacts belonging to the Space Force Missile Museum. The tour route includes “abandoned in place” launch complexes from the beginning missile program.
