NASA - Kennedy Space Center (Trip to Florida - Day Four)
.
The fourth day of our vacation (26th Dec 2010) was reserved for visiting Kennedy Space Center. We had bought visitor complex admission tickets online ($43 each). We had to drive about 1 hr from Orlando, FL to Kennedy Space Center.Af

After the security check we entered the visitor complex. Then we were boarded on buses with all other visitors to begin the tour. So they took us to their exhibits including Saturn V. They were worth seeing but the entire tour was not exiting as we expected. We passed the NASA main building but the bus didn't stop their. The visitors are not allowed in there. We got the chance to experience a shuttle launching on a rocket simulator. It was great but not to the level we expected from NASA.
However the tour took half a day. We had lunch from a cafeteria inside and came out. I think the tour could have been really great if we got the chance to see some inside functionalities rather than exhibits. I guess it is worth to buy a ticket to see a shuttle launching at a higher price.
Though we thought it will take whole the day for the tour we got half a day left. So we decided to see Cocoa beach on our way back to our lodge.
