Steve’s take

This is a full-day stop and it's worth every minute. Real rockets, real launch pads, a bus tour to the Vehicle Assembly Building, and the Space Shuttle Atlantis hanging in a museum like it's no big deal. Your kids will touch a moon rock and meet an astronaut. You will stand under a Saturn V rocket and feel very small and very inspired at the same time. About forty-five minutes off I-95 via the Beachline. If you can only add one big stop to the road trip, make it this one.
