Cape Canaveral, FL
Budding astronauts and their parents will thoroughly enjoy a visit to the Kennedy Space Center. It's an hour from Orlando
and well worth the drive.
It comprises 70 plus acres of space hardware, artifacts from four decades of space exploration,
lots of excellent exhibits and some superb film and video presentations. Inside the main visitor complex your first stop
should be booking one of several spectacular IMAX movies, along with a bus tour that will take you to view the Space Shuttle
launch pad from the observation gantry and the gigantic Vehicle Assembly Building.
The Apollo/Saturn V Center is also a
scheduled stop and features the most awesome piece of hardware you'll ever get to stand underneath! The final item on the
tour is an impressive close-up look at the International Space Station.
