The Kennedy Space Center is on Cape Canaveral in Florida. This is America’s spaceport where launches for Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and the Space Shuttle all occurred. There are extensive displays both outside and inside with many spacecraft and rockets to view.
Try the space dots quick frozen ice cream pellets.
The tour of the space center will take you to the shuttle landing site,
the Vehicle Assembly Building,
and launchpad 39A.
If your timing is right be sure to catch a launch, it is one of the most awe inspiring experiences you can have. While attending graduate school in Florida I was lucky enough to see several shuttle launches. For one launch we went to a nearby beach which was several miles away from the launch site. The first thing you experience even before you see the fireball that is the rocket exhaust is a low rumbling in the ground almost like an earthquake. This is miles away from blastoff but you can still feel the ground shake, such unbelievable power.
