Kennedy Space Centre is on the east coast of Florida about 2 hours drive away from the International Drive area of Orlando. My friend and I paid around $60 (including return coach to International Drive)to visit this fascinating part tourist attraction/part working site last August as part of a trip to Orlando and it was practically deserted. This is a real shame as there is so much history contained wihin the various exhibits which includes the awesome spectacle of the gigantic Apollo V rocket lying on its side in a dedicated hanger, a mock up of a space shuttle where you can see the truly cramped conditions the astronauts have to endure, and a simulated moon landing complete with real-life footage. There is also a very poignant monument of all those who lost there lives in space exploration made up of reflective space-shuttle tiles.
Kennedy space centre is still very much functional and there is a great tour of the operational parts of the space centre where you can check out the work being done for the Space Station of the future, a joint project involving many countries. Of all the wonderful attractions that this particular part of the world has to offer, this certainly has the right to rank amongst the very best.
