Whatever you do in Orlando or Wherever you are in Florida, this place is without any shadow of a doubt is a ....'must see' ..it should be on top of your Day Out list...forget Disney, Universal and Seaworld as interesting as they are this is your target, this is living History...
Steeped in recent history, see the original bits and pieces of Space travel on display at the space centre, rocks from the moon, discarded space junk, old rockets, film shows on IMAX Screens, tour the whole complex on specially designed buses, see launch pads 39a and 39b where the shuttle takes of from...
Kennedy Space Centre has to be one of the best Value attractions in Florida, don't panic if you dont have a car there are plenty of bus excursions from Orlando, take the kids, take Granny & Grandad they will all love this place, take the Mother in law if you like and put her truly in the driving seat..on the Shuttle !! (..'er only joking, most Floridians have a soft spot for their Mother in laws...its called the swamp).....
With free parking, excellent shopping on site to suit all pockets ( space related stuff from mugs, pens and pencils to Coats and T shirtsgames and Toys), The Space centre also do an excellent mail order service which includes shipping to the UK if you don't mind paying a modest postal fee..
See history as it happened in the IMAX cinema, see history in real life with the exhibits,and take the Space Tour on specially designed space centre buses, see and stand next to a Saturn 5 rocket, look at the Launch Pads, see the largest assembly building in the world.. be educated whilst on holiday..this has to be one of the greatest excursions on the planet, its a place where just about everyone in the world irrespective of thier Nationality can connect with...
See the memorial to all Astronauts who have lost their lives attempting to further space exploration, feel the emotions involved when things go wrong, see the actual control centre as used in the film Appollo 13, and also used in an actual launch..
It is certainly a place of mixed emotions, but most of all..you will never forget your day at Kennedy Space Centre .... it is a most magical place of living global history, you will never forget your day spent at the space centre, particularly when you watch your next shuttle launch on TV back in the UK, everything will make more sense to you, and you never know, you may be there when a launch is about to take place, you could even meet a real astronaut....anything is possible at Kennedy Space centre.......enjoy it !!
