In early February, 2013, we visited the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Admission includes access to the Rocket Garden, several exhibits, two IMAX® theaters, a bus tour of the Space Center, an amusement park-type ride named the Shuttle Launch Experience®, and the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame. Due to time constraints, we only watched one of the movies and skipped the Astronaut Hall of Fame facility entirely.
