In October, I am finally making the trip from the UK to Florida!
Its been a number of years to wait but hopefully will be worthwhile!
Will be spending about 3 days in the KSC local area, and am wondering if anyone can give me some advice on some good ways to spend the time?
Regards,
Alex
If you're staying in Orlando, there's always Disney and Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure. But since you say you're in the local area, go check out Cocoa Beach, or eat at some nice Port Canaveral restaurants over looking the Port (I recommend Fishlips :thumbup
. Also, there's the Valiant Air Command Museum in Titusville, featuring F-5's, F-4's, P-51's, and the ever famous C-47 "Tico Belle". And that's outside the KSC Visitor's Complex. Once you get to the KSC VC, you can check out the main park (which includes the Shuttle Launch Experience, a T-38 on display, and Rocket Garden), then take the tour (includes going down the crawler way, the LC-39 Observation Gantry, VAB/OPF drive-by, etc.). Later on down the road, there's AHOF (Astronaut Hall of Fame), which has a lot of neat stuff and activities to do. And if that's not enough, there's the newly opened US Air Force Space and Missile Museum:

That's all I have to suggest. Central Brevard County is a really fun place and I hope you enjoy it
