Kennedy Space Center sure has changed since my last visit twenty years ago! There was so much more to do and see on this visit and we only had a day allotted for it. We could have easily spent two days here.
The rocket garden was spectacular. Little Man was greatly intrigued, as was Hubs. We loved exploring it and learning more about the rockets.
We experienced the Legends of Space and thought the program was well done.
The bus tour of the complex was the highlight. Our bus driver was wonderful. He was entertaining and energetic. We loved viewing the launch pads and learning more about grounds.
The Saturn V area and mission control simulation of a launch really brought home what it was like during the missions to the moon. The kids thought that was very cool.
We took in the Mission to Mars exhibit and the Space Shuttle Atlantis for our final part of the day. Seeing the shuttle was magnificent. Hubs and I grew up watching the shuttle launches on television and following the missions. I really wish the kids could have experienced it. At least they will be old enough to remember the upcoming Orion missions.
We ran out of time to experience the IMAX theaters and the memorials. We will have to return for those at a later time. Overall, we had an awesome visit and will definitely invest in a two day pass our next time.
