ORLANDO, Fla. — Believe it or not, big sci-fi epics like “Armageddon,” “Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2″ and “Tomorrowland,” have something in common with cult hits like “Sharknado 3,” nonfiction movies like “Apollo 13″ and “First Man” and even reality TV shows like “Cake Boss” and “Lifetime Celebrity Bucket List.” They’ve all filmed at the Kennedy Space Center.
While there are plenty of amazing natural locations and cutting-edge technical facilities in the Sunshine State that make it an attractive place for filmmakers, one of the most-filmed places in Florida is on the Space Coast, with 80 major films and TV shows shot at the Kennedy Space Center since the 1960s according to IMDB.
Most locations at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex are able to be filmed, including parts of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), the vintage rocket garden, Apollo/Saturn V Center, Space Shuttle Atlantis and even the brand-new Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex attraction, which opened earlier this year.
